Signal/Duke Thomas Origins - Supernatural Metahuman Robin Is The Most Powerful Member Of Bat-Family

Duke Thomas Everything you need to know about this lesser-known sidekick of Batman

[@TimTimmay]

I have very little knowledge of this ROBIN, as I was in my late 30’s when he was introduced. Thank you for helping to explain his back story and recent story arcs!!! 👍🏽

[@tinyrick5514]

I just discovered this robin and I am in my early 30s now 31 so this is interesting story definitely would like to see a movie adaptation of this

[@craigharvey-gurr337]

If Gotham Knights gets a DLC or sequel, I’m hoping Duke Thomas becomes a playable character.

[@RealKyndleNance]

And include Stephanie Brown, Damian Wayne and Cassandra Cain.

[@Vierhend]

Ohh god yes please

[@keiseanhenderson6236]

I was thinking the exact same thing

[@shadowslime3640]

It'll be cool to see how they'd have his powers look

[@marikuami6840]

Love how this page uploads lore on almost everyone

[@realtinsin6704]

Duke Thomas is genuinely oke if my favourite Robins/Heroes and I love him so much :(

[@samirhasanovic2773]

Finally some love for my boy signal he is great in outsiders

[@tonysstonersaloon9351]

Duke Thomas is the man. Bro needs more comics featuring and/or starring him.

[@lemonpeace]

it's wild that this video is like 70% info torn straight from the edits and additions (sometimes word for word) i've made to all Duke's wikis over the years lmao i love it, i hope it brings more eyes to Duke and gets DC to make more stories for him

[@coryakabueze4541]

Duke Tomas is underrated

[@MikeSmith-vl5em]

Jason Todd is underrated

[@btmbino2994]

@@MikeSmith-vl5em not really… he has a great following. The writers just haven’t done him right pretty much never. We wanted a punisher-robin lol

[@chillduderr]

Extremely

[@chillduderr]

Im hon start reading his comics

[@snikerz5886]

Too many people are still butthurt about the "We are Robin" run even though it was great imo. They are the main reason why Duke got shoved to the side.

[@salifyabngambi4209]

I love you Duke Thomas

[@izzy2802]

Duke has a really cool back story and custom.

[@TevyaSmolka]

Duke thomas signal is really not my favorite character in bat family but i am glad people liked this character more then I did.

[@packofwoods1970]

Duke Thomas is insane great video!

[@Ironcross6669]

What he Black!!! Awesome 😎

[@salifyabngambi4209]

I'm giving him a t.v. series

[@MarkProspero]

I would totally audition to play Duke on a live action film

[@theunexplained2855]

First knight Duke would be perfect in an animated series

[@MoonlitPhoenix0]

Wait, what comic did the subway get flooded

[@ThirteenCross]

The gaps in the story are “Robin War” during the We Are Robin run and “All Star Batman and Robin” before the Signal run

[@markdavis5893]

Duke Thomas signal the walking neon sign

[@briandaleske5139]

I think it would be great if a new different version of DUKE, whose full name is DUKE THOMAS BROWN, and he exists in the realm of the futuristic Batman known from the stories of (BATMAN BEYOND). In addition I imagine the realm that the alternate version of futuristic Batman of (BATMAN BEYOND) new stories, he exists within the dimensional realm of EARTH-55, and that is the realm that (Duke Thomas Brown) is in.

[@BlazeZultra]

No one cares

[@bellcurve0]

They need to focus up his powerset. Drop the shadow stuff, deffinitly drop the nonesene teleporting and seeing into other dimensions weirdness… hes a daytime dude focus on that.

[@mythic6632]

Idk, I don’t mind it either. Fits the shadowy figure thing the bat family has going on. The different vision bs is pretty whack though. Definitely focus on him being Batman’s enforcer during the day. My pitch would be have him run a team with Nightwing and Bat-girl as morning crew. Night crew is Bruce, Tim, Jason, Damian. Have them rotate and such. Have a fun a family dynamic. Duke is pretty likeable too. He does it his way and Bruce isn’t opposed to it. Bruce just reinforces it and even trains him properly. Duke is extremely gifted as well. He completes the training which basically incorporates everything Bruce has learned just find and becomes his own hero. No wonder people like him.

[@bellcurve0]

@@mythic6632 i like your daytime/nighttime crews makes perfect sense!

[@FugginAngry]

So he can manipulate light to become invisible

[@katoahirou8151]

Man it would be nice if duke thomas becomes the next robin after Damian makes his own hero

[@jawofajackass4047]

What a complete waste of a character with such a rich backstory. I hope they finally put a shine on him sooner than later

[@MrGrandure]

Shine? Wow smh

[@cliffwoodbury5319]

one of his most underrated sidekicks. With powers like that he is the most powerful one in the family as no one else has powers

[@mangareader7474]

I remember him but not like that he must be a background character

[@alextyson7717]

Duke looks like Wolverine from X-Men 18:08

[@keiseanhenderson6236]

DLC Characters for Gotham Knights, or Injustice 3

OFFICIAL Birthday Wednesday August 13 1987 Life Path Number 2 Birth Card King 👑 of Clubs Happy Birthday to Duke Thomas aka The SIGNAL 🚦 Blessings and Hugs 💖💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

[@P.Subaeruginosa]

During the day the meta humans cause chaos and in the night its just crazy people with gimmicks

[@cliffwoodbury5319]

I don't know why this character isn't in more of the bat family books because they say his nitch is fighting crime during the day, and while a lot of dirt happens at night, all the activity that happens to lead to that dirt often happens during the day, so he would be great for finding information and meeting individuals they may never meet, and could bridge the night and day crime fighting for the bat-family/bat corp. and many villains and heroes around them.

[@swoozyduzzytgottaloveit2966]

I love everyone who makes videos like this on youtube, but the constant panning makes it quite nauseating to watch.

[@TheKal1f]

Well.. Superman can work both shift 😁

[@theblackhood1164]

Okay this comic is getting out of hand if now we got a character named "Robina" GEEZE lol

[@LJ-SYLKI]

His powers still feel vague

[@bellcurve0]

Yeah, id say drop shadow stuff completely, goes against the whole “daytime” hero. His super vision stuff needs to be focused up, maybe some precog and thats it, no xray vision or seeing into other dimensions or whatever.. and not weird nonsense light/shadow teleporting.. its like every new hero can see into other dimansions now and teleport.. limitations are a good thing.

[@P.Subaeruginosa]

​@@bellcurve0its manipulation of light. How you gonna call something nonsense when there's people manipulating everything else and batman without powers literally benches 1000 pounds

[@JR-zp3nw]

Did they _have_ to give him a Joker clone as an enemy? Enough with the fucking joker already!

[@HieiDaHellSpawn94]

Duke Thomas>Miles Morales

[@briandaleske5139]

A SET OF IDEAS ABOUT A VERSION OF DUKE WHO EXISTS IN (BATMAN BEYOND) REALM: I think it would be great if this character (Duke Thomas) aka Robin, is introduced in the new version of (BATMAN BEYOND) cartoon show series, and have him become the second (Robin) of the futuristic Batman. Or maybe (Duke Thomas) could be setup to become the first Robin, and then later down the line Terry’s younger brother becomes the next Robin in the new version of (BATMAN BEYOND) cartoon show series. Plus to add I imagine that (Duke Thomas) could later change his hero-title from Robin to SIGNAL, and I imagine that the version of DUKE who exists in the realm of futuristic BatMan, his full name is Duke Thomas Brown, before he got adopted by a foster-care family called Dawson.

[@elijahantheenobernal6176]
