Are the We Are Robin kids Robin?

I've been waiting for it, you've been waiting for it. Another N0-1R rant!

Now I went into this investigation with a strong opinion on whether the We Are Robin kids are considered Robins but I actually came out of this with a different mindset. It been argued that Duke isn't a Robin because that would mean that the entire WAR group would each be Robin too but here's my thoughts:

Now firstly, what constitutes a Robin?

There have honestly been so many that a fixed criteria wouldn't really work.

I'd say that Robin is a young vigilante who operates in Gotham

Because we can't limit it to say, gender or looks because we have Robins such as Steph, Maps and Carrie who are all female, with Steph and Carrie being non-black haired (Even Jason was originally ginger!)

Additionally, there have been Robins operating at the same time, Tim, Damian and Maps so it's totally okay for the We Are Robin gang to be Robin at the same time Damian is.

WAR is a young vigilante group of various ages and genders who operate in Gotham

Furthermore, all of the Robins (after Dick) have been given the moniker by,

(Disclaimer- This is a very dumbed down process of what happened)

Dick - Himself

Jason - Bruce

Tim - Himself with the help of Alfred

Steph - Herself (mostly) and Bruce

Damian - Alfred and Dick

Subsequent Robins usually got it from Bruce

and finally, We Are Robin were given the name (not really but also supplies) from none other than Alfred!

This is where I actually tell you my point which is

We Are Robin are a collective Robin

So yes, Duke himself is not a Robin but We Are Robin are.

mouthwashing just made me remember a certain fandom

because my friend and I were talking about the type of uncomfortable body horror it was and the scenes of Curly and i remembered something

limbless hajime... ARGH I JUST SAID THAT MY DIGITAL FOOTPRINT

i just read this fic and it really opened up my eyes

so like a subgenre of cryptid batfam is where there is the collective 'Bat' and everyone is different aspects like wrath and knowledge

batman is quite often given the justice aspect but this fic went the vengance route and i was like

you're so right, 'I am Vengance. I am The Night. I am Batman'

Duke Doodlinnnnn

I made myself a prompt list in order to make several drawings of him and immediately lost it so I am now floundering on what to do with him 😔 My goal is to make maybe two or three more for him before the end of the year Fingers crossed!

so I've been rewatching Static Shock because of @bearsspace 's Duke and Virgil art, and I'm not even a season in and its already so clear how good they'd get along.

Like Virgil's story focuses on not only actual racism and systemic issues, but the allegory of race within the bang babies/metahumans. Duke's story also does this with We Are Robin and Robin War; the robins are a group of mostly disenfranchised kids who rise up to protect themselves and their communities while being targeted by cops. WAR also makes direct comparisons to racism/systemic issues.

Besides their stories having some similar themes, they're also similar in the way they interact with their communities directly. (Let me mention here that Duke's mom and Virgil's dad are both social workers). Both Duke and Virgil are able to talk and connect with the people they're saving, and this includes the "villains" they encounter who really just need help (ohoho! another part of their stories connected to systemic issues).

Of course a lot of heroes do this but it's special for Virgil and Duke. Virgil's able to connect and help his foes not only because he's a bang baby, but because the standing he already has in his community. Like he spends a lot of time at the community centre and it means a lot to him. One of the things I really love about Virgil is that if he wants to get info on someone he starts knocking on doors and talking to people. It's special for Duke because not only does a big part of his story centre around bringing a community together to protect itself, but in contrast to the rest of the bats, his whole thing is LITERALLY being in the daylight. Like the whole premise of his character is being a beacon, Duke will always have a connection with the public the rest of the bats can't.

I also think it's really funny how both of them almost immediately become superheroes the first chance they got. Like Virgil's bestfriend is like, "You could be a superhero!" and he agrees instantaneously and does it. Duke's kinda just like, "Ugh, I GUESS I'll join this group of vigilantes if you REALLY want me to!" and "What? You want ME to lead this vigilante group? Aw shucks well SOMEONES gotta do it!" and "Not like being a vigilante is important to me or anything but I will literally let nothing including Batman's trained sidekicks stop me." then he jumps out of a moving cop car off a bridge.
