Tim Drake took over the mantle of Robin from Dick Grayson in “The New Batman Adventures” after stealing his costume, and…wait, that’s a very different costume that we’ve never seen before, and it never gets explained. Where the heck did the red Robin suit come from?

Now do the actual Red Robin character suits switch ups
“You can even measure the dicks!”
the "Good Luck College Dick" bit made me laugh way more that it should 😂
I always thought that that was the case it was just his first suit from when he was like 13, it probably was on display because when Dick storms off after punching Batman he took the suit with him.

THE YELLOW ONE!!
This was my frist video and I subbed. Really appreciate all the effort you put into these videos
why would a little boy wear the same clothes as a grown ass man, what if the red suit was just what old robin wore when he was new robin's age
It's just really dark green
It’s…It's just a little green missing
23 dicks!
Cop out answer: they both are the same suit in universe just drawn differently depending on if Tim or Dick is wearing it to differentiate them
Here's the reason that I think they changed to the Red Robin costume and the explanation for "the real Robin" costume quote. The real reason is, the original suit had wear and tear, then got trashed and replaced with an upgrade. To explain Alfred's reaction and quote, maybe had had other pressing things on his mind and was careless with his words. Sometimes people brush people off with an offhand comment because they don't want to go into an encyclopedic explanation of things. Alfred had other things on his mind and instead of going into a long-winded explanation, he said, "Yep that's the real Robin's costume," just to be done with it. I do that all the time. Plus, I think the Red Robin costume is a much better design and a better evolution of the costume. Mystery solved.
or maybe it is the same suit, just with different pieces like a different undershirt, pants and gloves

I mean there are three people in that room, one of them is child (probably couldn't/wouldn't), one of them is a grown man that is extremely socially stunted, one of them is an experienced elderly man who has been in the military and been a father figure to many people.
My bets are on Alfred, the guy probably wouldn't feel any shame doing it if he knew it helped, has the discipline to do so, and likely doesn't view her as anything more than a child due to essentially being a father figure for the past 20-30 years to Bruce, Dick, and Tim.
i absolutely love the DCAU but i never thought about this funny little plot hole
I think it belonged to Jason Todd
There would be no green costume left in the batcave because we see Dick Grayson leaving with the green suit on in "Old Wounds" like in the flashback clips you presented in this well-thought out video. At the very least, there would be one less green suit if Dick had taken the green suit with him… leaving me to believe the green suit in the batcave was a spare. I agree that the red suit is probably Jason Todd's or Dick's childhood costume*.
what am i doing with my life pretty much sums up my whole opinion of this
doesnt bother me really
6:16 me basically
