The grown-up ex-Boy Wonder, ready to go to work…
Hey, didja see artist Sean Chen’s moving paper puppets of Batman and Robin that emulate the opening credits of the 1966 Adam West TV show?
You probably did, judging by the huge response that post received. But if not, check them out here because they are far out!
Anyway, during my back-and-forth with Sean while putting that post together, I came across this wonderful piece he did of Earth-Two Robin in his original, Batman-inspired duds.
Dig this:
Sean makes adult Robin suitably tough, a worthy successor to his mentor. But with that slight smile, you know the laughing young daredevil is still in there.
Right. On.
The amazing thing is that Sean was unfamiliar with Earth-Two Robin until he got this commission.
Helluva rookie effort, I’d say.

If McFarlane doesn’t finally make this I’ll scream.

I gotta give credit where credit is due. I’ve never been a fan of the Earth 2 Robin costume. But I actually really like this picture. Thanks for the post!
