Robin of the Hoodies

'Attitude', presumably, 'cos it wasn't the writing. The clichés hit you like a freight train.
I wasn't expecting any more historical accuracy than the traditional tights or biker jackets, but I wasn't quite prepared for this. They say each generation remakes their stories in their own image and to prove it Robin wears a T-shirt & a leather hoody & Guy of Guisbourne sports a black leather Barbour jacket. No message there, then. The signature longbow has become a recurve bow and the extras' mail and armour is breathtaking.
Well, at least they're not Kevin Costner, or battling sorcerers. Although I half expect a Harley to turn up at some point ;-)
