Topic: Tag Alias: robin_(batman) -> robin_(dc)

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

i speculate the majority of people know of Robin solely from the Batman series.

Robin is from the Batman comics. Yes, he's owned by DC, but he's part of Batman. Even in Teen Titans, he's still known as Batman's protege.

The alias may reversed if needed, but for me it seems more adequate this way. 'robin_(batman)' may give the wrong impression of the character coming specifically from the Batman comics/series what isn't necessarily true (Teen Titans features him as a protagonist and isn't a Batman series, for example).

Calling Cloud Strife a Final Fantasy character may give the wrong impression of the character coming specifically from the Final Fantasy series which isn't necessarily true (Ehrgeiz features him as a protagonist and isn't a Final Fantasy series, for example).

Apparently isn't the same. The character you mentioned was included in the referred title despite of belonging to another franchise (similarly to how Super Smash Bros works).
Robin do not belongs to the Batman comics/series, but to the universe created by DC comics, in which the Batman comics/series are inserted.

p.s. I don't know about your culture, but paraphrasing someone almost word by word is considered really rude where I live and it is only done either accidentally or with the intention of offending.

+1. Characters should be tagged as a part of their franchise, not as the installment within said franchise. Especially in comics, where characters aren't easily confined to these installments. For example, Solomon Grundy is considered part of Batman's rogues gallery, but he started out fighting Green Lantern, then Superman, the Swamp Thing, and then Batman.
