That's Who? Who's Who Thursday - Robin

How many of you are there?

Richard (Dick) Grayson - Earth 2 Pre-Crisis

Richard could theoretically be the original Robin to appear in Detective Comics #38, 1940. Earth 2 was home to the heroes of the Golden Age. Aging gracefully.

Dick Grayson - aka Nightwing

This Dick Grayson stepped out of Batman's shadow. A few times.

Jason Todd - Earth 1 Pre-Crisis

Repeat of Dick Grayson, complete with dead acrobat parents.

Jason Todd - Post-Crisis

Only interesting because you stole the Batmobile's tires

And got killed by the Joker.

Damian Wayne - 52

Oh yeah. You're dead now too.

Sorry Tim Drake, you got left off the list. I don't have a profile for you. Or Stephanie Brown (Spoiler) and Carrie Kelly(DKR).    Yet

What If...Tony Awards Special.

It Can't Be! Not You! - Supergirl

Look who is making her DCU Post-Crisis On Infinite Earths appearance.

This Supergirl is full of surprises.

She looks like Lana Lang.

 Calls this man Lex Luthor.

And comes from a world that has almost been completely destroyed by Kryptonians, under the direction of General Zod.

Zod is mostly know for "Kneel before..." in Superman II and being a constant prisoner of the Phantom Zone.

On this Earth he is ruthlessly murdering everyone in his path.

No one is spared.

Sometimes the ultimate punishment is required in dealing with ultimate evil.

Superman - Judge, Jury,

 How the once mighty grovel.

There is a glimmer of hope after all the death and destruction.

Sure, she isn't Kara Zor-El but I enjoyed who this Supergirl became.

In my opinion, Post-Crisis DCU was a really great time to be reading comics. Experiencing the characters all over again, connecting with them. The current 52 DCU is lacking that connection.
