A Fun AU That DC Would Never Do (And I Don’t Have Time to Write):
Damian comes back as the Spectre.
Seeing a possible in with one of the most powerful entities in the DC Universe (preboot, anyway), John Constantine tracks down the tiny, hooded Robin!Spectre and offers to help him get his proverbial sealegs. Damian accepts begrudgingly, since he can tell that even though he is a chain-smoking, drinking, swearing, category five hurricane of a human being, Constantine is one of the most talented cheaters in all of creation. I can’t help but think of John whenever I read the Batman 666 universe stuff, since Damian and Constantine have fairly similar views to winning: it’s all about being the better cheat. Plus, there are supernatural elements to Damian’s future—-SELLING YOUR SOUL TO A DEVIL, HELLO. CONSTANTINE’S BEEN THERE, DONE THAT, CHEATED HIS WAY OUT OF IT. So John Constantine and Spectre!Damian Wayne have magical, morally gray adventures across Europe as a new and terrible Batman and Robin analogue. Beryl steps up as the third Knight and joins them and John is like WAIT, hOLD on one BLOODY MINUTE, I did not volunteer to NANNY TWO ANKLE-BITING SUPER TODDLERS and Beryl is like for the last time, I’M NEARLY TWENTY YEARS OLD.
That is the closest thing that I can come up with for a T-Rated Hellblazer comic, guys. I s2g.
History of Girl Wonders
Every lady in DC Comics who’s ever been Robin!
Julie Madison puts on the Robin Costume (1941)
She was only pretending to be Robin as part of a trap for Clayface, but it makes her the first female in comics to wear a Robin costume, and if that’s important enough for Wikipedia to mention, then so shall I. This incident occurred in Detective Comics #49, Julie’s last Golden Age appearance.
Roberta the Girl Wonder (1950)
Roberta appeared in Robin’s solo feature in Star Spangled Comics #103. Her crimefighting career was over by the end of the issue.
