Writer Christopher Yost has recently spoken to CBR regarding his first work with DC Comics on Red Robin:
Teaming with Yost on the series, artist Ramon Bachs said he's gearing up to bring an older edge to the hero while keeping his teen age intact. "For some reason, when I started doing the book, I had some difficulties drawing Robin without making him look an adult like Batman, because in the series he's 'doing what Batman does,'" Bachs told CBR. "But step by step, I've been able to make him look like a believable teenager. His suit reminds you of Batman's, in a certain way, and the cape makes it even more similar. The readers will be the judges, I guess."
The first issue of Tim Drake's solo career saw a falling out with former best bud Dick Grayson and an uneasy alliance with one of Batman's greatest foes. But if that wasn't enough of a tease, Yost promised the future of "Red Robin" would take the character through an emotional gauntlet, most of which he'd face alone. "I don't know how people are going to react to this, but I've written some pretty grim stuff in the X-Men universe and Robin to me was always the balance to Batman," the writer said. "And Tim has said this before, but Batman needs a Robin. The great thing about Grant Morrison’s 'Batman & Robin' right now is that that dynamic is flipped on its head. Dick is a fairly upbeat guy, and Damian is a psychotic ten-year-old killer. But with Tim Drake, he was and is in a lot of people's minds Batman's partner. He was the light to Batman's dark. Now it's almost a position where Tim Drake needs his own Robin because he's so grim.
