Trivia / Red Robin

• What Could Have Been: All the major storylines were cut short by the reboot:
  • When Marcus To was asked about Tim's Unternet costume mirroring Nightwing's costume:
    Marcus To: When Fabian told me that we were gonna do the Unternet story, initially I was gonna design a whole bunch of DC heroes and villains’ Unternet selves but when the book was cancelled we had to cut that story short and condense it to just that one issue to make with for the final issue. Tim’s costume was the first one I tried and I played off of Nightwing’s costume quite a bit knowing Tim doesn’t really create his own look and he always looks up to his elders. At least that’s my thinking.
  • Tom King planned to have Tim becoming Dick's successor as Nightwing in his Batman run after Dick was non-fatally shot in the head in his ongoing, which kickstarted the infamous Ric Grayson storyline with concept art◊ created by Travis Moore for Tim's new identity but plans were discarded, likely due to Heroes in Crisis and Young Justice (2019).
