Loving Damian's new look, it's awesome!
Maybe Tim will be Robin in Gotham, but Tynion won't develop that. He had already said his Batman comic will focus on the new characters, while the Batfamily won't have a big role there.
In itself, I think DC has a lot more faith on Damian as Robin, since he has a solo.

Not mad at Damian being in a new Robin series (kind of looking forward to it), I just wished that DC would make up their minds on if Damian is Robin or not.
Isn't Grant dead ? Isn't his whole deal that he die the very first time he puts on a mask and that's why Slade hates the Titans ?
I've got to hand it to Tim. When he gave up the Robin mantle, he at least added something before his new moniker. Here, we have Williamson stating that Damian is trying to distance himself from Batman by calling himself Robin. Even without taking into account the events of TT, which shouldn't be done because they marked a turning point for Damian, who was finally able to fully make a decision regarding his future on his own, I'm kind of baffled by this very notion.
And don't tell me that Robin sells more than Damian would have as a title. Naomi sold well and she was brand new. People who hate Damian won't pick up his book because of the Robin tag, he's not Batman. And as for myself, while I planned to buy is obviously coming solo, I wouldn't even read it on pirate sites now because it's called Robin. Beyond undermining the character, this choices does absolutely nothing, not even sense.

It would be really interesting, and I think is not impossible, since the Lazarus pit is obviously involved in the story somehow.
I guess they didn't, because of 5G, and now changed their minds. Maybe in the back-ups we will know how he goes back to Robin.
