You did well. Is what I made with Supersons. Comic that I only started because Damian was here.. When I saw that is not what I wanted I left and never saw it again..
Good choice. Reading it maybe I would find reasons for that Damijon existence.

The best that one fan can make is avoid see his/her character used in a way that you don´t want.. Like sadly Steph in Detective Comics. I made a mistake watching that Tynion run until the end.

I also don't think that Damian needs someone like her in his life right now. The only reason I see these two getting together is because the writer wants to, not because it makes any sense for two characters like that to enter a romantic relationship.

Hmmm... What kind of person would you consider "right" though?

It seems like they're really pushing this romance between them. I hope it works out.

Uncover the secret origin of all the breakout fighter stars of Robin in this oversize special that puts the K.O. in comic book! Plus: Atlantean fighters join the tournament?

It's time for a rematch! Robin and Connor Hawke face off for round two in their winner-take-all battle for League of Lazarus supremacy, but with the tournament nearing its end, what surprises does Mother Soul have up her sleeve? I hope it doesn't involve that massive, hellish pit and the immortal monster lying within it—aw beans, it's about that, isn't it?!

Thanks morgoth

Yeah they are pushing it.. Good for him. It was REALLY DISAPPOINTING when his previous ship attempts(Emiko and Djinn) failed.

—from XXL and his hype squad to Respawn and his Deathstroke fandom

What?? Damian will fight against one Slade group of Fans?

no fighter has made an impact on Damian Wayne like Flatline, the former sidekick of Lord Death Man and one of the most elite combatants in the tournament. But who is Flatline? Uncover the secret origin of all the breakout fighter stars of Robin in this oversize special

Is saying that we will ONLY Discover Flatline origin or.. That we will discover another characters origins too?

Atlantean fighters join the tournament? C'mon, Mother Soul, never order the fish—always order the steak!

WOW..

Robin and Connor Hawke face off for round two in their winner-take-all battle for League of Lazarus supremacy

Good luck Damian.. Or I hope that is a tie for what comes next..

I hope it doesn't involve that massive, hellish pit and the immortal monster lying within it

As admiral ackbar said: IS A TRAP

**Morgoth** · 08-13-2021, 09:55 AM

Judging by cover, they will take Flatline hostage, or something like that.

Flatline, the former sidekick of Lord Death Man

Wait, the former? Was it stated in series, she's not working for him anymore?

**adrikito** · 08-13-2021, 09:59 AM

Rose said that FT was Lord Death NEW SIDEKICK. While the FT said that he allowed her to go alone on her own for first time. She is here but is still working for him..

As simple as that she left her Boss to make the Ship possible(for now). Damian is not a villain.

**Morgoth** · 08-13-2021, 10:10 AM

Oh, so I guess I know how Flatline will stick around with Damian. She will fail Lord Death Man in tournament, he will try to hunt her down for that, so Damian will bring her to Gotham with him. But Bruce won't be there for a while, so they eventually will be screwed, lol.
Melnikov has already posted their picture in the city, so I'm sure there will be something like that.
i'm curious, if Damian will be able to meet Bruce before he leaves Gotham? I remember Williamson mentioned, that next arc is centered around their relationship, I wonder how it's going to work out.

Flatline reading a Nightwing Book?
and the dude that drew Nightwing like Chandler Bing in the previous issue is back for the Annual. Urg.

**Light of Justice** · 08-13-2021, 10:15 AM

Wait, the tournament already ends on chapter 8? I thought it will be longer

In Robin 2 Flatline said that she went to the tournament with Lord Death Man permission, so she should be still under him

I literally have no interest in the potential love life of a 14 year old child. I'd love for Flatline to stick around. She's really grown on me...as her own character and not some love interest that gets shunted onto Damian simply because that's a "percieved" missing part of his character when that is in fact by design, because he is a child.

Ignorance is bliss, so I'll continue to believe this is just the marketing leaning into romance tropes when there is the barest semblance of romantic feelings (like a kiss on the cheek that surprises Damian and throws him off his game in the tournament) in the text of the book and everything else has only been indicative of the beginning of a friendly rivalry.

**Light of Justice** · 08-13-2021, 10:27 AM

I like this cover... And curious about the new Atlantean, how old is Mera in canon?

You and me both. Romantic relationship in comic is almost never permanent so it's useless to ponder too serious about it. Not even characters that were specifically designed to be other character's love interest were safe from writer's mood swing (case in point, Kory and Steph)

WOW.. Awesome..

MERA??

Or Mera daughter(andy)?? I remember her in Aquaman as Baby and in that Future Justice league as a teen.. a Mera Jr. who was trained for one Older Aqualad as little girl before.
