So is that what happened to Duke? I remember last Batman comic I read he refused to take on the mantel of Robin, though in every sense of the word he was Robin (aka Batman's sidekick). So now he's "The Signal"? Bright glaring signal?

The bullet draw thing came from an elseworld. It's not actually canon.
At this point it's clear Robins colors come from the costumes Dick wore as an acrobat. Batman Forever got that right.

Duke thought Bruce wanted to make him a Robin. Bruce said that was not the case. He's basically daytime Batman as opposed to a nighttime vigilante. Also he has super powers that manipulates light. So the color of his costume is irrelevant.
