Batman fans recently rejoiced at the news that Tim Drake would be returning as the Dark Knight’s partner, sporting a brand-new Robin costume that represents everything the third Boy Wonder has always deserved. While DC teased the outfit in solicitations, the artist behind this bold new era has now shared official character design art, giving fans even more reason to appreciate the look.
On July 26, 2025, artist Jorge Jiménez took to X to share new concept art for Tim Drake, as the Boy Wonder debuts a new suit ahead of the Dark Knight’s upcoming relaunch in Batman #1 on September 3, 2025. The issue marks a fresh start for the Dynamic Duo, with Jiménez serving as lead artist alongside writer Matt Fraction and colorist Tomeu Morey.
If there’s one thing fans can agree on after seeing Tim’s new look, it’s that this return is more than welcome, and that he’s finally getting the upgraded Robin suit he’s always deserved, complete with a stellar red, black, and yellow color scheme.

The post is captioned with a fun and eye-catching, “R O B I N. 🟥🟨⬛️ new concept art, the RED is Back to our Tim!!” Jiménez emphasizes the return of bold red to Tim’s costume, a detail many fans have missed. This time, the color takes center stage in his new Robin suit, which once defined his Red Robin aesthetic.
The suit features a sleek, modern design with a red bodysuit accented by black armored panels along the sides, shoulder pads, neck area, and gauntlet gloves. Tim also sports bold, thigh-high black boots with a stylish touch of yellow on the heels. Of course, he wears the classic yellow utility belt that has long been a signature of the Dynamic Duo’s iconic look.

Jiménez also includes a look at Tim’s Robin cape, black on the outside and yellow on the inner lining. The bottom of the cape features jagged edges reminiscent of Batman’s updated cape in this relaunch. He also reveals the new Robin “R” emblem, redesigned with sharp geometric lines that give it a sleek and modern appearance, perfectly complementing the suit’s overall aesthetic.
