New concept! One of us LMBers got a job working for DC, but is really just a hack writer! So he/she goes online to get ideas for series, not realizing that we don't care how successful they are, we just want what personally suits us best!
First up: Robin, the Boy Wonder!
My thoughts:
--I'm thinking an initial twelve issue Crazy Quilt Saga that shows how dark and creepy Crazy Quilt is!
--One of these issues is an all Ace the Bat-Hound spotlight issue, showcasing the new canine detective! He doesn't talk or wear a mask (yet), but he's just as brillant as Batman, but only friendly, like man's best friend should be!
--Further, Robin is shown as the man, having all these ladies throwing himself at him! He meets Commissioner Gordon's niece, Josie Gordon and they have sweet, awkward teen sexual debauchery!
--As Crazy Quilt tries to cover all of Gotham in a quilt of acid cloth, Robin learns that the mad villain is working with a secret mystery partner: the New Signal Man!
--Robin battles Crazy Quilt and Signal Man, and rips off Signal Man's mask, only to reveal...ready?...oooookkkk... Thomas Wayne!!
--After a knock-down, drag-out fight, Robin brings in Crazy Quilt, but Thomas Wayne escapes!
Next arc: Robin, Ace the Bat-hound and Josie Gordon travel across Europe looking for Thomas Wayne to learn his dark secrets...and Robin can't even let Batman know, lest he break his poor mentor's heart!
Where'd you take the story? Give ideas people, let's roll! We need a solid 100 issues planned!

When he arrives in Europe, Robin encounters... Vampires in Orange Plaid! What mysterious connection do they have to the Batman? Well, we won't find out in #13, where he first encounters them!
What's the next stop in the European Road Trip arc?

Robin arrives in Prague in the land of Pilsner beers where he infiltrates an orange plaid vampire party. As an underager, he unwittingly drinks too much beer letting the vampires get the upper hand.
The reason that the vampires wear orange is that they are Scottish/Dutch vampires who transport him to Amsterdam. After introducing Robin to a medicinal herb commonly sold in that city they force him to work as a houseboy in the city's famous red light district.
Josie and Ace follow the trail to Amsterdam but are detained in Paris for not having the proper animal vaccination certificates.

It is in Amsterdam that Robin meets the nefariously nelly HoHoHo aka The Joker's Partner, a villain who adapts identities similar to villains and claims to be their lover!
He also battle Robin in the guises of Scarebeau, Two-Cheeks, Blane, Boy-Bat and Mr. Nippy.

But first he joins them as they hit up Ireland! Robin & Co. vs....The Banshee! (with the Banshee drawn as stereotypical early 70's Irish woman in gaudy post-Silver Age/pre-Denny O'Neil bad villain costume.--complete with bad accent)
Thomas Wayne is revealed to be in charge of the Police of Paris, and has captured Ace and Josie! Basil, the Joker's Partner (before his Titan's term starts) and Robin rush from their fight with the Banshee (which ended with Robin banging her and her becoming a good Irish vigilante) to go battle Thomas Wayne's Disco Paris Police Crew!

In the meantime, a four issue backup feature, by Grant Morrison with art by Rob Liefield: Crazy Quilt: Year One . Learn about his first epic crime-spree, his battle with Dick Grayson and his love affair with barmaid Velda K. Blitzkrieg!

As Robin, JP and Basil arrive in Paris, the series takes a left turn as new writer Judd Winick begins a run of "Very Special Issues of Robin".
In the first of these, "Red Robin" , Robin notices that he is experiencing discomfort in his nether regions. He stops by a hospital in Paris and is diagnosed with Herpes. His recent sexual escapades have cost him. The doctor prescribes Valtrex for him, but he learns that even when there are no visible signs, he may still pass on the virus. When he finds Josie, Robin knows he will have to tell her about it. He'll have to return to Ireland as well to warn Banshee.
In the second "Very Special Issue of Robin"......
