Aw, not again! What does DC have against Tim Drake, anyway? Compared to this, their presumed vendetta against the Giffen/DeMatteis JLA is nothing! Tell me this isn't representative of Tim grieving at the grave of a newly fallen comrade! First he loses his girl friend, Spoiler, then his father, then his best friend Conner--my gosh, who's left? Please tell me this isn't Cassie's grave!

cassies in the picture.
i can't tell who is missing.

[Jack Zodiac]

He means Cassandra Cain, Batgirl. Which, y'know... it very well may be. And that'd suck. Seriously, the rate they're goin', Tim's gonna' snap and start working on that "The Future is Now" timeline.

[Kid Kyoto]

isn't that the Mk II batgirl on the right?

[Captain Jim]

isn't that the Mk II batgirl on the right?

I'm not sure. Her costume used to be darker than that and she had a more traditional utility belt.

Edit: I just checked the latest Teen Titans, and what I said above still stands. It's not impossible that it's Batgirl on the right, but it doesn't really look like her. The chest insignia isn't right either. But neither does it look like anyone else in the newest TT.

[Cayman]

That's Raven.

hehe, i meant i thought raven was cassandra cain.
sorry.
didn't realize how common cassie was until everyone tim drake knows has the same name.

what's starfire doing? is she an outsider or something? cause she's not there.
tim was supposed to be the well adjusted of the batclan.

that may not last.
and the all red robin costume still seems odd to me. where's the green?

[Amethyst Rose]

I read some WW3 spoilers, and the one in the grave might be Terra.

[spEEdy]

I think it may be Nightwing!
I dunno..call it a hunch!

[phantom1592]

Considering the two grieving at the front there, my guess is it has something to do with Superboy..... Again. Either a clone goes wrong, or this is where they all decided to accept that he's gone.. or something.

hehe, match shows up outa nowhere and is like "hey guys, you don't need that leatherjacketed idiot, you got me!
::cue giant meteor landing on his head::
robin: "not again..."::emotional collapse::

[Violently Apathetic]

Poor, poor Tim. The idea of it being something related to Superboy makes sense, though someone suggested it could be Ravager (hence all the roses in the foreground) but I hope not.

[Sizzle]

I believe it's Terra or Rose. Roses in the picture.

[Starba]

Some people have been hypothesizing that Match is in fact Connor after all. If he dies (again), that would explain why both Tim and Cassie are front and center.

Sounds like something Grant Morrison would do.

[Karl O'Neill]

poor conor, would they not just leave him alone......

[DonC]

Cayman is right. That is Raven in the grey costume. If you read DC's World War III comics you can clearly see Raven wearing that belt. And her costume now has a logo on it, as well.

[Captain Jim]

Well, I guess it's pretty obvious now...and none of us guessed it. But I'm still not particularly happy about it.

If you don't know who I'm talking about, you must have had your head in the sand this week.

Bart Allen dies in Flash #13. This has got to be his funeral. Y'know, maybe this is part of the reason Teen Titans isn't as much fun as it used to be... they keep killing off all the good characters. :mad:

yes. I loved Bart as Flash. Myabe it's because I could never get into Wally, and I wasn't around for Barry, but Bart is the reason I read Flash. Ugh.

I agree with your comments about Teen Titans not being as much fun. Although I kind of like the current roster.

[The Xenos]

Sheesh. Anyone else remember Young Justice?

Protip: If you like living in the DCU, don't stand around Tim Drake.

[Jack Zodiac]

Remember? I just spent the past couple hours reading old backissues 'cause I wanted to remember how cool the Super Cycle was.

[disco stu]

young justice was the book that got me into comics in my teens, this is a sucky time for me right now, im going to hope that this leads to something cool for tim.

[matt_hatyber]

2 people said its terra in the grave, well it cant cause terra is coming back, and its probally bart, but i would think barts funeral

[Kevinroc]

How cool the Super Cycle was? YJ showed how cool the DCU was. A DCU without Bart is a weaker DCU.

[Jack Zodiac]

Any book where a bunch of superkids play baseball on an alien planet with Green Lantern's old sidekick Derby Dickles is the best !@#$ing book ever.
