Robin (2021) (Comic Book) | comment |
Robin is an ongoing comic book series launched in 2021 as part of the DC Infinite Frontier initiative. It is written Joshua Williamson, with art by Gleb Melnikov. It began with a two-part prologue in Batman #106 and Detective Comics #1034's backup stories.After years of struggling to reconcile his father's morals and his own sense of right and wrong, Damian Wayne has left Batman and returned to his mother, Talia al Ghul. However, he learns that there is dissent in her life as well, as the League of Lazarus, a rogue branch of the League of Assassins, has returned and is starting a tournament that will include the best fighters on the planet. Damian decides to do things his own way, ignoring his mother's invitation to rejoin the League of Assassins and instead begins an investigation into the tournament. First step? Entering it.The series will crossover with Batman and Deathstroke Inc. for the Shadow War crossover in March 2022. This is followed by leading into the miniseries Batman vs. Robin, also spinning off from the events of Batman/Superman: World's Finest. | |

The Worf Effect | |
Robin (2021) (Comic Book) / int_178ca149 | comment |
The Worf Effect: The first issue has two instances. Damian effortlessly defeats King Snake to establish quickly that he can hold his own. It happens again in Damian's fight with Flatline. While the fight is very evenly matched, it ends with her offhandedly killing him, which establishes her credibility. It also doubles as something of a Sacrificial Lamb, since it establishes the stakes of the tournament and that it's a fight to the death situation. | |

Small Name, Big Ego | |
Robin (2021) (Comic Book) / int_28a5213a | comment |
Small Name, Big Ego: While not exactly small name, Damian is relatively inexperienced in fighting compared to most of the people at the tournament. He introduces himself by interrupting their host, Mother Soul, and announcing his heritage as the son of Batman and Talia al Ghul. Nobody is really impressed and Flatline decides to fight him then and there, and actually manages to kill him with relative ease. Thankfully for him, Death is Cheap on Lazarus Island. | |

Worf Had the Flu | |
Robin (2021) (Comic Book) / int_2c628d38 | comment |
Worf Had the Flu: In Damian's first fight against Flatline, he didn't know that killing was required and that everyone got some "lives" as it were while on the island and resurrected. He says as much to Flatline when they meet again, though she says it wouldn't have made a difference. Bronze Tiger's absence from the tournament is explained by his opponent cheating to defeat him, while Lady Shiva was apparently bribed by the League not to attend (presumably because she's previously managed to defeat their preferred champion). | |

Adaptational Sympathy | |
Robin (2021) (Comic Book) / int_39a41690 | comment |
Adaptational Sympathy: In the Post-Crisis era, Ra's al Ghul already had a Tragic Villain backstory but there wasn't much accounting for how he would choose to work for a fickle Sultan and his evil son, engage in reckless horse races with the Prince that injured bystanders (though Ra's did show deep remorse for that), and looked like a twisted madman who enjoyed playing God as soon as he resurrected the Prince before tragedy ultimately humbled him. In this series, set in the Rebirth era, it's revealed that Ra's was traveling with his ailing mother and Sora to the Sultan's throne because Ra's felt he had no other choice but to become a court physician and gain the resources to save his mother's life. Ultimately, his mother died (though was resurrected much later) before the tragedy that befell Ra's and Sora but it was because Ra's wanted to save her in the first place that his working for a capricious Sultan and an evil Prince is given more rhyme and reason than before. | |

Talia says that Damian failed in his time as Robin because he promised her he'd be a worthy adversary for her. This is a reference to when he disowned his al Ghul heritage in the Batman and Robin phase of Grant Morrison's Batman saga. | |

Issue #11 has Damian holding a vial of Lazarus Serum, and saying he needs to go back to Gotham... and then ends on a shot of Alfred's grave. | |

Damian and Flatline are both into manga. While she tries to strike up a conversation about it, he ignores her when she immediately makes a joke about having killed him. After the tournament is over, she tries again in a more earnest way, and he explains that it's something that is uniquely his and not associated with being a Wayne or an al Ghul. This little connections leads to them having a Big Damn Kiss. | |

Robin (2021) (Comic Book) / int_70489c17 | comment |
Superman Stays Out of Gotham: One of the combatants mentions that she got in because the Secret Society of Supervillains paid off Lady Shiva so she didn't have to fight her. Given Shiva's skillset, it doubles as a reason for keeping her out of the tournament, otherwise, she'd defeat pretty much everyone there. Once Damian learns that the tournament hosts are conducting some sort of experiment with a huge Lazarus Pit, Rose tells him to call Batman. He doesn't, since the entire point of this series for him is doing things his own way without his father. | |

Said issue also features the return of Brutale, Artemis Crock, Nite-Wing, and Batman of Japan, all of whom hadn't been seen in years. Issue #6 sees the brief return of one-shot Titans' villain Tengu, who hadn't been seen since 2000. | |

Continuity Nod | |
Robin (2021) (Comic Book) / int_9dab0a6e | comment |
Continuity Nod: Talia says that Damian failed in his time as Robin because he promised her he'd be a worthy adversary for her. This is a reference to when he disowned his al Ghul heritage in the Batman and Robin phase of Grant Morrison's Batman saga. Talia mentions her recent loss of the Lazarus organization from Event Leviathan as another recent hit to her standing. The idea of the League of Assassins being splintered was first introduced in Detective Comics (Rebirth) with the League of Shadows (who also make a return) and this comic further expands on the idea of Ra's al Ghul's organization being splintered. King Snake mentions fighting other Robins, most likely referring to his role as one of Tim Drake's primary villains. Rose Wilson for some reason has Jason Todd's number, and Damian asks what's up with them. This is a reference to Red Hood and the Outlaws where it's mentioned that Jason and Rose used to date. When Ra's al Ghul is explaining to Damian why he's on Lazarus Island, he mentions his last defeat at the hand of Batman and his Outsiders in Batman And The Outsiders 2019. When "Alfred" asks Damian how his father's journey to being Batman began, Damian recalls the events of "Batman: Year One" and plays them out in his head with him in Bruce's place. | |

It's Personal | |
Robin (2021) (Comic Book) / int_a0db7803 | comment |
It's Personal: "Alfred" asks Damian if him fighting King Cobra was because the latter is Bane's father since Damian still understandably hates Bane for killing Alfred. Damian says it was just a coincidence, but given that Alfred is just a manifestation of Damian's grief... yeah, probably not. Implied to be why Rose Wilson is at the tournament. She has no interest in actually winning the thing, but is after something on Lazarus Island and has a bone to pick with Respawn, who's modeled himself after her father, Deathstroke. | |

Big Brother Mentor: When the Robins guest star in an issue, Dick reminds Damian that he completely gets what Damian is going through, more than anyone else, having run away from home many times when he was Robin and struggling to find himself. Dick says that, while he, Jason, Tim, and Steph started as Bruce's Robins, Damian started as Dick's, and gives Damian his blessing to go and find his own way. | |

Robin (2021) (Comic Book) / int_affc0c98 | comment |
Significant Wardrobe Shift: Damian dons a new costume that distinctly distances itself from the Robin look, being primarily grey. It looks like a combination of what a League of Assassins and Bat-Family member would wear. | |

Dysfunctional Family: As usual, the al Ghuls. Mother Soul was imprisoned on Lazarus Island after being seen as too extreme by even Ra's al Ghul, and she has nothing but contempt for her son. Talia joins the fray and is on Ra's side again, but Damian doesn't care for either but sees Mother Soul as the bigger threat. Issue #11 even has Mother Soul raving and screaming that she wishes Ra's was never born. | |

Adaptational Wimp: In the Post-Crisis era, King Snake was able to give a good fight to Tim Drake's Robin and while he wasn't quite as good as Batman, he could at least take multiple hits from him and keep going for some length of time. Here, in his first major Rebirth appearance, Damian Wayne takes him out easily in one hit when he decides to get serious. | |

Damian says he approved of Bruce doing the same in his Batman training and Alfred says he definitely didn't. It's then that Damian says Alfred isn't even real and decides to not talk to him. | |
