Damian Wayne: Robin Appreciation 2020

[Light of Justice]

I expected more. I get that Tomasi is ignoring stuff, especially if he truly has to bring Damian back to the "good side" in the now last 3 (?) issues of his run

Yes Tomasi said that he writes Tec book only until issue #1033

[Digifiend]

Wait, so he's off the book when it returns after Future State? Where did he say that?

Here's from his twitter. He presumably will be off the book to write something titled "Alexander Nevsky"

Btw, here's sneak peek of Tec #1033 from Tomasi's account. His domino mask is back, so he will be Robin again?

[Morgoth]

He's wearing Robin suit in Death Metal as well, Capullo showed sneak peak from one of future issues.
Walker, by the way, already had a sneak peek on Instagram from one of the future issues. It depicts Bruce and someone else (the figure is not drawn to the end), but in the hashtags Walker indicated that it is Robin, without specifying which one. Now, apparently, it is clear which one.

Urgh, wonderful. Way to make Damian's character even more pathetic, now he does tamper tantrums and then return back to Robin.

The Rebirth era will have been horrible for him from start to finish save for a few issues of TT it seems.

If that's what it takes to get readable Damian stories again, fine by me. Almost everything about Teen Titans was unenjoyable garbage and the worst part is, ending up that was was basically the only way such story could go in the DC universe.

I don't think that "Alexander Nevsky" is the "something else for DC" he's talking about here. So while he's probably off Tec he will continue to work for DC.

It will make Damian less readable not more. I found that during Glass TT he was far more sympathetic and understandable than anywhere else during Rebirth, even the previous TT run of 2016. Now, he just seems set to become a pathetic little wimp who does tamper tantrums, goes out with grandiloquent tirades only to return like a pathetic dog to his own, with his tail between his legs because reasons.

That's trash tier level of writing and characterization for any character but especially damageable for him.

I know it's subjective but I didn't find Glass' Robin to be very sympathetic. He could be entertaining but something about the way the writing justified his actions wasn't likeable.

You mean going from a clear Middle Eastern background to strapping a bomb to Damian's chest? Yeah...

And Damian acting like a sociopath. I felt like I was reading an edge fest and not the fun kind.

That's quite the read considering Glass TT run was a deliberate attempt at ruining the character. Pushing him to such an unlikable extreme so they can take Robin away him so they can justify/ sway WB to allow them to do so.

Glass crapped on Damian every issue.
he was pushed around and phy7sically attacked multiple times by Crush
Was blamed for accidentally killing RH's sis
Turned into a Suicide bomber
Took an L from Jason who he had beaten handily before
Agreed to be mentored by Jason who isn't his even equal in anyway
Went to hell
is all AlGhul no Wayne according to Alfred
his motivations made no sense
Damian we learnt doesn't really belong in Gotham or with the batfam preferring to hang out with the Middle Eastern refugees in Gotham
His team are afraid of him despite constantly bullying and smacking him around.


TT was a hate letter to Damian and his fans Masterminded by Glass and those with Power behind the scenes who have been trying to replace him since Snyder took over Batman.

It's been 9 years and I'm still waiting for Damian to have a peaceful tenure as Robin/Batman's sidekick

[CPSparkles]

I'm glad Damian is getting away scot free with what happened in TT. It wasn't right what they attempted to do to the character.

There's no justification for deliberate character assassination. Damian did not deserve what was done to his character. No character deserves that.

It's fitting that his about turn should be just as swift as his heel turn and make about as much sense. Nicely done Tomasi

I’ve said this before but it’s just so weird that if Damian did kill brother blood we never saw it. He said he did it sure and apparently Batman figured it out, but we never see a flashback or even a recording showing him doing it. If it literally wasn’t for Batman monologuing that Robin killed someone and Damian not denying it you’d think someone set him up.
