A Bat By Any Other Name…

Bird King
Today is Bruce Wayne’s birthday (19 February) and to celebrate this auspicious day, I thought it would be apropos to do a photoset of Bruce Wayne as Robin King.
The Robin King is a homicidal young Bruce Wayne from the Dark Multiverse serving the Batman Who Laughs. The Robin King represents Bruce’s fear that he was always broken deep inside, and that the death of his parents was ultimately just an excuse for the darkness and violence that was always inside of him.
