Mugen: Robin


I am going to be frank: I've always hated Robin. Much of my distaste came from the 1960's television series. I am grateful to be able to now say that I've got to take back every negative I have ever said about Robin as a character. I really like the way the character has been handled in animation and comic books over the past 20 years. Ironically, he has been portrayed as more darker, more capable. More like Batman has poured all he is into his partners so that they can go solo without him. The first Robin, Dick Grayson, and the third Robin, Tim Drake, also have learned great leadership skills from their mentor. Grayson has lead the Teen Titans many times and Drake at times lead "Young Justice". I have seen 3 versions of Robin for Mugen.

Here are the video tests I did. I'm not going to include the version from the Teen Titans because I don't really like it. Robin is much too small. It's much more fun to use the comic book version. He is fun to use, has great moves, and can really stand up to other well-done mugen characters.
