However, this takes place during the Crisis on Infinite Earths, which takes place in July/August, and the story in Secret Origins Vol. 2 #50 states that Dick's birthday is in late October, the 1976 DC Calendar stated it as November 11th and Robin Annual Vol. 2 #4 stated it to be the first day of spring.
