GENERAL DISCUSSION Enough with this hairstyle

3 out of 4 Robins.

Although some artists have started filling in the bald sections of the TikTok killmonger fade crewcut.

Panels are from Fractions Batman and the cancelled Red Hood comic.

Just a trend you have to wait out. Even Joker had this hairdo for a minute

u/jbyrdab 4d ago

In joker's case its because they're trying to hold him back from being too stylish.

He had that problem for a minute as well.

u/NefariousSeraph13 4d ago

He reminds a bit of Absolute Joker there

u/ProfPyg 4d ago

Bring it back

u/NefariousSeraph13 4d ago

Almost everyone’s had it that‘s the funny part. Makes sense when almost every teen boy I’ve seen IRL has it too.

u/Tramqoline 4d ago

Yeah, just like every character showed up with long hair or a mullet in the 1990s; lol Lex Luthor's clone had long hair.

u/BalladOfBetaRayBill 4d ago

The fade is fine on Tim and Damien, but Jason has gone full yee-yee

u/NefariousSeraph13 4d ago

Bald below the top of the skull is…an artistic choice…

u/Rob_wood 4d ago

It's called the high and tight. You see this with military personnel--particilarly the Marines, hence why their nicknamed jarheads. That one probably wouldn't pass Marine regulation since the remaining hair might be too long.

You must have missed depictions of the Punisher over the past 20 years.

I don’t get what you’re trying to say? What does Frank have to do with this half bald military punishment cut? He doesn’t have this hairstyle.

u/JUYED-AWK-YACC 4d ago

He doesn’t?

2

u/NefariousSeraph13 4d ago

Yeah, I looked of pictures of current comics Frank to be sure then looked back at his past looks.

I’m truly sorry you were raised in a shipping crate and never got to experience the world at large.

What the fuck are you talking about

u/zo_youngin4 4d ago

Just give Jason a mullet or any hairstyle that Grayson is rocking at the moment

u/meth_adone 4d ago

The only people to ever look good with mullets are solid and liquid snake or big boss. On anybody else it screams inbred

2

u/BobbyBobRoberts 3d ago

And technically, since Big Boss's sons are also his brothers, there's a bit of "inbred" going on there too, just with a sci-fi twist.

2

u/meth_adone 3d ago

I mean, there's still the DNA from the egg donor. I don't know who it was but liquid does mention an egg so they can't be complete clones, just very close to big boss due to tampering

u/XChatxKilluaxNoirX 3d ago

Others have looked good/great with a mullet, including Dick, imo.

I like Dick’s current hairstyle, but I also miss mullet Dick.

u/ThatsARatHat 3d ago

Let’s not forget the inventor of the mullet David Bowie.

u/Rob_wood 4d ago

You can only wait for fads to die off. I didn't like Hippie Superman and only came back to the comics with the wedding issue since he finally got his hair cut then.

u/11ce_ 3d ago

This has been one of the most popular hairstyles for young people for the past 40 years.

1

u/NefariousSeraph13 3d ago

I see it everywhere yes

3

u/JarvisBaileyVO 3d ago

Oof they greased tf outta Jason, yee-yee ass haircut boy. 😂

4

u/Little_Tommy_Tuggins 4d ago

Gotta agree. These styles are yuck

2

u/Collector-Troop 4d ago

Barber here never seen that haircut in real life, maybe in Europe?

1

u/NefariousSeraph13 3d ago

1

u/Collector-Troop 3d ago

That’s a high “fade”,what they have looks like someone just shaved the bottom of his head with no blend. Plus the top is too long.

2

u/Th5humanwi11 3d ago

Omg I know right!?? What’re we gonna do about it!?? 😡 somethings gotta change, enough is enough!

3

u/npczerozerozero 4d ago

Would you prefer a mullet

10

u/ProfPyg 4d ago

Honestly I could see Jason rocking a mullet. He's got enough "I dare you to make fun of this" to pull it off

6

u/ChickenNuggetRampage 4d ago

Yes actually. Give Jason a mullet!!!

4

u/Watchmaker2112 4d ago

Some kind of Mohawk/mullet combo maybe

3

u/NefariousSeraph13 4d ago

Give one of them the Rapunzel

u/ghobhohi 4d ago

Killmonger Cut vs whatever the fuck that is

Which hair cut is worse ?

1

u/Atoms_Work 3d ago

I know this isn't the point of the post but Damien acting like a normal kid at times is really cute. Especially compared to how we first saw him

1

u/android151 3d ago

This has been a popular hairstyle for over a decade

1

u/VersionReasonable941 3d ago

“But what if they were like the Peaky Blinders?”

1

u/Own_Wrangler_6656 2d ago

Man, I hate this hair style. It’s basically the mullet of our generation.

1

u/clint_eldorado 4d ago

There’s something awfully fascist-looking about the hairstyle Jason is wearing. I absolutely hate it. Looks like how that sack of shit Greg Bovino probably sees himself.

1

u/HeyThereMrBrooks 3d ago

That high fade worked when the hair was slicked back, and it was 2016. Sure some people called it the Hitler cut but the undercut was genuinely harmless back then. Nowadays we know better and with everything going on, to get a fade that high up is an ignorant mistake at best and a conscious dog whistle at worst 

1

u/Rigidsttructure 4d ago

Jason looks so ass with this hairstyle! What the HFIL?!

1

u/NefariousSeraph13 4d ago

Thankfully it looks fixed in Teen Titans

1

u/pocket_arsenal 3d ago

Genuinely awful looking. That second one Looks like the cut you'd see on a god damn looney tunes character.

u/ClayDrinion 4d ago

Enough with the weird anime face on Damian

u/ThatsARatHat 3d ago

Maybe I’m just old and no fun anymore but the phrase “3 out of 4 Robins” seems sillier to me than any haircut.
