Joshua talks Robin
Time code for robin: 35 mins
Issue 5 is about all the Robins.
Robin 1 sold really well [can't wait to see the figures]
DC approached him and asked if he wanted Robin [even though he has been pitching books for Damian for 10 years now]
He put Damian on an island because he felt Damian had become swallowed up by too many groups [Supersons, TT and bat family drama] so he wanted to separate him and explore the character.

Damian kills again.
Robin is going to eventually tie in to another unannounced series he's going to be writing.
This series is only short.

Thank you for the link!
Wow, can't wait! We will get Issue 5 solicits this week, right?
Good for him, I'm happy for him. Looks like he really loves Damian.
Finally! I thought I was the only one who thinks that. But JW really went "this boy has become fodder to uphold too many people, I take him and put him on an isolated island so leave him alone!" hahaha

Eh, at least he's now on an island that kinda "legalizes" killing, and no one bitching about hero-no-kill-rule or something. I don't really care, but I hope JW will not use it as a cliffhanger like on Demon and Detective, because well, it's overused at this point.
NEW CODENAME! NEW CODENAME! I am probably the only one who is on board with Damian will not reclaim his Robin status, but I really want Damian to have a new codename and costume. Besides, current Damian is not Robin in everything but name.
Aww, that's disappointing, but JW already promised more Damian on his next book, hope that the next book will have more issues instead of the usual less-than-thirty.

Damian killing again, basing on the circumstances he's in I'd excused it. The only way he could feel somewhat better in killing his opponents is that he does it as humanely as possible.
On the other note, Damian being too diluted with other groups. Over the recent years, like 2016 to now, yeah I kinda see the boy getting involve with too much of other groups than having his own story.
Still I'm more hyped of Damian's potential other costumes, the Robin series promised Damian with multiple costumes, and boy I wanna more costumes. Like his dad with the multiple bat suits.
I don't think Damian will get a new identity. Williamson said that while we'll see Damian in different outfits, the new Robin costume we saw in Robin #1 will be the his suit for the forseeable future. Plus it's an ongoing titled Robin, why give that to Damian if you don't want him to be Robin anymore?
No, he was saying the unannounced book was short, not Damian's book. Robin is an ongoing.
I wonder if the book he's talking about is that Deathstroke Inc book that got teased some time ago. Rose and Respawn both are connected to Deathstroke (or at least Respawn looks like it).
I found it very interesting but it seems i missed/misheard a couple of things so I hope you get the chance to listen to it.
I like that he decided to say yes when DC approached him with Robin. JW 10 years ago and Jw at the start of Rebirth isn't JW today.
At the time when he was approached he had become a high profile writer so for him to accept when he could have gone for a JLeaguer means something
I'm also hyped about the costume changes.

@Astralabius was correct. Respwan kills two people not Damian. I was mistaken
Like I suggested to @ lightofJustice if you can find the time listen to it yourself. I might have missed more and there's also the other important parts of the interview that are his personal thoughts, him speculating etc Things that aren't simply objective which i didn't list.
I was about to write an angry post and how upsetting it is that the supposed fan of the character still can't write anything new with Damian. But luckily it was all cleared up
As for tie-in book, Williamson has talked a lot about Green Arrow. So maybe a mini starring Hawke?
Ah, okay. Thank you for clearing that up.
I was a bit confused when I read your spoiler because I remember Williamson talking about how one part of this arc is that Damian is on an island full of assassins and now he's in the position where he has to convince them that killing might not be the best solution or something along that line in a previous interview.
