Anonymous1: Why is Barbara with a 14-year-old Tim? No, seriously, that's Tim's cape and a hairstyle Tim has had. And during the 90s (or the 80s, or the 70s), Dick was more muscular, albeit compact muscle, not Liefeld muscle.
Seriously, I joke about Babs being a pedophile, but this, well, this proves it.
Farfegnugen: "Why is "Dick_Grayson" tagged on so many in-costume Robin pics?" There's been five Robins after all, even more beyond the main universe. Heck, DC is known for having someone else taking over the mantel for a dead/retired hero.
Since this looks like the cartoon Teen Titans' Robin, it assumed it's Dick Grayson since they shared a relationship with Starfire. So, technically, the tag is right.
If you see something like Stephanie Brown's Robin tagged as Dick Grayson, please correct it, but since there are different versions of Robins, I would tag based on who they are under the mask.
Anonymous3: @Farfegnugen: Because in most pictures the Robin IS Dick Grayson... He's still the character most associated with the title, and by far the most iconic one. As a matter of fact Dick has still been Robin for the majority of the time that title exists. (44 years vs 36 for all others combined) It's only normal the most iconic version of the character appears most. The Teen Titans cartoon Robin is confirmed to be Dick Grayson, on top of also having his personality, team and love interest.
For anyone who knows a bit about comics and the associated animated series/movies it's pretty easy to point out who it is. No one automatically tags robin pics with "Dick Grayson". Quite the opposite actually. I do agree though, the pics should also be tagged with who's under the mask, cause Robin isn't one character.
traffik: @Anonymous: Farfegnugen was answering a question that I had asked in a report. That's why the first part of his comment is in quotation marks. The rest of the comment is his response.
I had thought that maybe we should only be tagging Dick Grayson when the character is not in costume, but Farf's response does a good job or explaining why it's better the way it is. I didn't realize there were so many Robins, and that that was why "Dick Grayson" was tagged even in-costume. I don't really follow DC or Marvel stuff, since I mostly find the superhero genre really boring.
Anonymous4: To be fair, I joke about Babs being a pedo because pre-B:TAS, she was a lot older than Dick. Like, at least seven years (him being a minor, her being in Congress, and a doctorate), probably ten or more. In the 90s DC got them together, and they were suddenly Mandela-effected into having always been a couple.
