Even with the cheating, that only works if people actually end up buying the book. So DC is just going to get burned in the end. I’m confident that GLs would have solid sales, tho not Blue Beetle.
Polls that tie to an actual commercial decision are always a bad idea.
That being said, I'm pretty convinced they're going to release most of the pitches there.
Robin won the Instagram poll so they will likely still win, there almost needs to be an 80:40 ratio win on Twitter to overcome Instagram's advantage.
Also, when Marvel did their X-Men poll they were able to detect bots and adjusted their results DC will probably be able to do the same thing.
Why would she not be included? She was Robin just like the rest of them.
All the more reason to hope that DC's not actually stupid enough to throw away all of these good ideas. Especially the ones who've made it this far. Having only one winner would be such a waste.

I mean, they can still be bought in carts too but honestly, it's far more convenient than some other places. I remember when I was living in Canada I loooooathed bagged milk. I shouldn't have to cut a perfectly angled katana strike and be required to have accessories just to pour me a bowl of mini wheats.
on topic of Round Robin: not gonna cap, I'm fine with Robin not taking the W. I was rooting for it for a second but the premise and art they released didn't pull me. plus, it's giving very much We are Robin but just with the "official ones", so I took the absence of Duke lowkey personal. (yeah yeah "not an official Robin, why would he be there" blah blah)

THE SIGNAL (Duke Thomas) is DC's secret shonen protagonist so I made him a fandom wiki
also, check out "The Signal Tape" a Duke Thomas fan project.
currently following:
- DC: Red Hood: The Hill
- Marvel: TBD
- Manga (Shonen/Seinen): One Piece, My Hero, Dandadan, Jujutsu Kaisen, Kaiju No. 8, Reincarnation of The Veteran Soldier, Oblivion Rouge, ORDEAL, The Breaker: Eternal Force
"power does not corrupt, power always reveals."
I wish Duke (and the rest of his crew, too, for that matter) were afforded this level of defense and commitment, even if Duke (and his) was a non-traditional Robin.
Well said. Duke and the We Are Robin kids contributed much more to the legacy and meaning of Robin yet fans will insist that they aren't proper Robins because Bruce wasn't around or Alfred was the one who insisted on making them Robin.
Things that they share with Tim - Alfred was insisted when bruce flat out said no
Damian - who became Robin when Bruce was gone.
This is supposed to be a Title where the Robins talk about what it means to be Robin. Duke at the very least should have been there to represent the We Are Robin Movement
Steph's Time as Robin wasn't cut short because of some target that she had on her back. Her tenure was supposed to be short since the onlty reason she became Robin was a s a ploy to lure the Real Robin bck into the suit.
She was a temp filler and was always planned as such. No to mention that she is another Robin who was slotted in in a way that damages batman rather than add to his story.
Steph is often the one used to represent the female Robin. Due to fan's valuing getting their way over what is actually best. Steph is a negative representation while Carrie is the positive rep that girls who would like to see themselves represented amongst the Robin need.
Steph is my fav Batgirl but she is just more evidence for those that argue that Robin is a bad concept. I wish DC spotlighted Carrie half as much as they did Steph.
Carrie the 1st female Robin
The 1st Robin who wasn't an orphan
The 1st Robin to juggle a normal life and superheroics
The 1st Robin who went seeking Batman.
Her time shouldn't be swept under the rug and her uniqueness passed on to a male Robin but her we are.
Hahaha nice parallel
GL also won on DC Universe.
Looks like Robins will not make it.
Don't forget people who vote against Robin "for JLQ". Really don't understand the logic here, it's not like they will not meet GL and other books if they can move past Robin. Well, Twitters do Twitters.
DC Universe has a smaller userbase than Twitter let alone Instagram. If Robins is winning on Instagram it'll probably win overall.
In any case, they've clearly paid for art, so they'll use it somewhere. Backups, anthologies?
