The ROBIN corner shock pose.

[nearmint]

Well, you have to admit, what's happening on those covers is quite shocking.

 

 

Looks like Robin has a shoe fetish.

[Jayman]

Here's still another from that era. Lazy cover art, indeed!

I think Robins just continually shocked at Batman always stating the obvious in these situations!

Great thread!

[Mister_Comics]

Good thread! How many covers have you counted with the exact same pose?

 

All I can tell ya is that there are a lot. In Batman and Detective both. Even a few in World's Finest.

 

I think its the work of Sheldon Mordoff. Anyone know for sure or any exacts on this? Its almost like Robin was added in after the fact.

 

(side note:) A while back (years ago) me and a couple of friends of mine, would take snapshots where ever, and one of us would do a take on that pose in the picture. Its got to be pretty funny. It would be a shot of Old Faithful geyser with one of us in the corner looking in shock or a photo of some monument with one of us in the corner looking in shock. But the best one was at the zoo when two animals started doing it. We still laugh about that one to this day.

 

I'm surprised nobody ever noticed the Robin shock pose before. Its was a running joke with us for years.

 

I got a few more covers to show soon. Glad your all enjoying this thread.

gotta admit that i never realized that they were practically the same exact drawing in some instances........

[deathlok]

Which is funnier because they are not the same drawing. They are all slightly different in some way.

[supapimp]

yep! but either way...they all look the same to me anyways.

[helionaut]

Genius.

 

Here's another:

What the heck is going on in that comic, anyway? You know something bad or something good happened when the jogsaw was complete.

 

Here he managed to get over to the other side

 

and another

at least 5 of these have exactly the same pose. the hair is almost the same, the expression is the same and the costume colors are slightly different..........i find it rather remarkable............

Not a corner or with the arm up at a right angle but close.

I think Robin is more surprised by what Batman is doing behind him.

I think he's signaling for aid.

I think Bats was truly frightened and was trying to occupy the designated 'frightened corner spot'. He is pushing Robin out of the way there.

Calender Man walks in on them and they are shocked.

 

I wonder what they were doing?

[namisgr]

OK, so here's two different corner poses for the young ward:

 

Tec 291

 

 

And Batman 127, with DCs "interesting" take on the Thunder God, wearing what appears to be the earliest known mini-skirt:

[ft88]

Not so much shock, but as retarded a pose as you can get. Me thinks its the morning after....

 

[Mephisto]

Yeah Batman look at what's cumming out of that Space Capsule. Could it be a big old Hairy One Eyed Monster? Wertham was right about those two.

[ft88]

They fooled us with this one. Corner BATWOMAN.

 

[ft88]

And full body shock Robin.
