Robin by Williamson and Melnikov Announced

[Tzigone]

I think you are onto something here.

I bet the prize for winning the league of Lazarus is bringing someone you love back from death. It would explain why many of the top fighters of DC are willing to risk it all in a tournament.

Would explain Deathstroke likely wanting to revive Grant Wilson.

That makes sense. So, Alfred's our bet on that? Maybe he'll try to kill Batman again, like the Outsider did.

But I do hope that doesn't mean we get angsty, "sympathetic" backstories for all the villains about their loved ones. Really quite tired of that.

Yes! Maya was great!
Maybe we'll see the return of that little kid from Streets of Gotham too?

Yo! Don't get my hopes up! If he brings back Colin he will officially be my new favorite Damian writer lol

[Light of Justice]

Has he written Damian before this?

Yes, on Gotham Resistance arc of Death Metal. Fun issues. I like Damian on there, and it can even make me enjoy reading Harley.

They wouldn't resurrect him if DC thought he was worthless.

He's worthless on his own. He's 11-12 years old. Nothing will come of this solo, because nothing can. It would be ridiculous if he won, given his previous feats.

What kind of pose is that? He's 11-12 years old....

He's probably closer to 14 now, if he isn't already there....Just saying. He's been 13 since Rebirth started. And if Jon was 11 before Bendis swooped in and ruined him, then about a year has passed since the the start of Rebirth.

That said, yeah I don't expect him to win this tournament. At least, he shouldn't. It all depends on who else is entering.

[Light of Justice]

Williamson wrote on twitter that he was trying to write Damian's ongoing for years and that's his dream project. And he says there will be more suits.

Hope so. Personally don't like the new suit. After Red Hood, Red Robin, Batwoman, and now even Grifter and Clownhunter, we seriously don't need another red-themed costume on Batfam member. And I agree with @dietrich, where's the hood?

He's the grandson of Lazarus Pit owner, does he really need to enter the tournament to use his own family's heirloom?

That all depends on what you want out of this. His age has nothing to do with whether or not the character is capable of telling a good story. Especially since his last solo was really good and that was back when he was 10-11.

Guess it depends on where he and Ra's stand right now lol

Well, he's not on good terms with Ra's.

He’s 13 grandpa you don’t understand

Maybe they are leaning into the Teen Heartthrob archetype. A wise move since Damian in relationships has proved very popular. Get that teen and tween money DC

[Light of Justice]

Fair point. That grandpa is quite stingy to his own family, and often challenge Damian on multiple occasion. I can see Ra's with his popcorn already, watching his grandson on the ring as gladiator.

RSOB begs to differ both in world and real world [only Grayson outperformed it of the bat kids titles]
Damian can win and has won. he has the most impressive feats of the Batkids [baring Dick ] relative to age.

I think that what will come of this is that at the end he dons the Robin colours on his own terms or at some sort of compromise with his dad.

You never try posing like adult when you're a tween? ^^
