Bat Family Reacts To Robin's Fate In March Covers

[BloodOps]

i saw those covers and thought the next nightwing is just going to be brutally hearthbreaking but then i remembered kyle higgins is writing it.

It really should be. Besides Bruce, this should hit him the hardest. He was the first to trust Damian and the first friend he had.

It could be why he's leaving Gotham.

DAMN tim is a Dick

If you read the last issue of Teen Titans you'd know Tim is being mind controlled. I for one can't wait to see how it plays out.

I think people's issue is that the arc is badly placed. A child just died and thats the cover they choose. It couldn't have waited an issue.

Agreed. I liked how Steph was actually one of the few people he considered to be a friend.

exactly honestly when bruce came back and then they rebooted i thought damain was headed for trouble without dick and steph in his life. at least with them and alfred he stood a chance of becoming a decent guy. i thought " oh well here comes jason todd 2" i had no dea how right i was

Personally, I think both DoTF and the events in Batman, Inc #8 were both badly timed myself and that it wouldn't be an issue at all if Morrison had been allowed to start Inc vol. 2 at the start of reboot instead of in a later wave of titles.

As for this specific cover it could simply be that Lobdell wasn't informed of the "death of Robin" before he was already committed to the storyline TT just started and the artist may have merely added in the Robin suit to the already existing cover so that it would at least jive with all the memorial covers.

That's an intriguing concept. The fact that Dick and Alfred could have saved Damian but Bruce couldn't. I wonder if DC or any writer working for them might have the guts to run with that angle.

Damian's death is actually a reflection of him being saved. Heroic sacrifice and all that. Thats the tragedy of it. Him becoming a "decent guy" is ultimately what lead to his death.

"Being Robin is the best thing I've done."

I like to think he thought that til the very end.
