Character:
This Robin action figure was released in 2004 by DC Direct as part of the original action figure series based on Frank Miller's legendary Batman: The Dark Knight Returns. Behind the Robin mask this time is not Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, or Tim Drake, but Carrie Kelley.
In The Dark Knight Returns, Bruce Wayne has left his existence as Batman behind him for years. When crime in Gotham City spirals out of control again, an older and physically more imposing Bruce returns as the Dark Knight. During his new struggle, he unexpectedly receives help from young Carrie Kelley.
Carrie is inspired by Batman's return and decides to make a Robin costume herself. Her courage and determination lead to her eventually becoming Batman's new partner. Her brightly colored costume forms a strong contrast with the dark world and the much grimmer Batman of Frank Miller.
DC Direct translated Miller's characteristic art style directly into this action figure. Robin is officially about 4 7/8 inches tall and comes with a slingshot and rope. Particularly notable is the elaborate sidewalk display base with a street lamp. The lamp features a glow-in-the-dark effect.
Robin appeared along with Batman, The Joker, and Superman in the original The Dark Knight Returns wave from DC Direct. Due to the different size and the unique Carrie Kelley execution, she is an important part of a complete collection of this classic DC Direct series.
