===Red Robin=== {{Main article|Red Robin (comics)}} In ''[[Kingdom Come (comic book)|Kingdom Come]]'' (a post-''[[Infinite Crisis]]'' Earth-22), a middle-aged Dick Grayson reclaims the Robin mantle and becomes [[Red Robin (comics)|Red Robin]], not at the side of his former mentor Batman, but rather with Superman's League. His uniform is closer to Batman's in design, rather than any previous Robin uniform. Age has not slowed him down, as he possesses all of his stealth and fighting skills. In this story he has a daughter with [[Starfire (Teen Titans)|Starfire]]; Mar'i Grayson ([[Nightstar (comics)|Nightstar]]). Starfire has apparently died by the time of the story, according to the [[Elliot S. Maggin]] [[novelization]], and Nightstar calls Bruce Wayne "Grandpa", despite no blood relation. At the end of the comic and the novel, Bruce and Dick reconcile. Red Robin reappeared in promotional material for the DC ''[[Countdown to Final Crisis]]'' event. Eventually, it was revealed that this Red Robin was not Dick Grayson, but rather [[Jason Todd]] who appeared under the cape and cowl.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://forum.newsarama.com/showthread.php?t=118774 |title=Dan Didio Comes Clean On The Countdown Teaser Image β Newsarama |publisher=Forum.newsarama.com |date=2007-06-29 |access-date=2010-09-16 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100622165142/http://forum.newsarama.com/showthread.php?t=118774 |archive-date=2010-06-22 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite comic|Title = Justice Society of America|Story = DC Nation|Volume = 3|Issue = 7|Date = (July 2007)|Publisher = DC Comics}}</ref> The Red Robin costume was stated to be more symbolism, than an actual costume choice, as Jason has been both the ''Red'' Hood and ''Robin'', being shown as ''Red Robin''. However, in ''Countdown to Final Crisis'' #17, Jason dons a Red Robin suit from a display case in the "Bat Bunker" (Earth-51's equivalent to the Bat Cave) as he and Earth-51 Batman join the fight raging on the Earth above the bunker. Jason keeps his new suit and identity for the rest of his tenure as a "Challenger of the Unknown", only to discard it on his return to New Earth and revert to his "Red Hood" street clothing. During the ''Scattered Pieces'' tie-in to ''[[Batman R.I.P.]]'', a new ''Red Robin'' makes his appearance, at first only as a glimmering image following Robin ([[Tim Drake]]) and suspected to have stolen a briefcase of money from the Penguin. Tim initially suspects Jason Todd of reprising his Red Robin persona. Jason claims innocence, supposing that someone may have stolen his suit when he discarded it earlier. The new Red Robin breaks up a scuffle between Tim and Jason, and later is revealed to be [[General (DC Comics)|Ulysses Armstrong]]. Armstrong later changes costumes when he reveals himself to be the new Anarky, and after being severely burned in an explosion, an embattled Tim Drake dons the less-revealing Red Robin costume to hide his wounds. He later returns to his standard uniform. In 2009, a new on-going series was introduced titled ''Red Robin''. The new Red Robin was revealed to be Tim Drake. In 2014-5's ''[[Multiversity]]'' series, a Red Robin also appears as part of Superman's darker incarnation of the Justice League on Earth-22, still based on the alternate future continuity of ''Kingdom Come.''
