So Bombshells seems to be swiftly heading to its inevitable tragic conclusion.

Short story: Jason was revived, but it appears as though he can't ever leave the underground area they are in. He doesn't want to eventually go mad and feels like he had his chance at life already and doesn't belong, and he doesn't want to make his mothers there with him, so he's shown walking toward the pit with Isis in the last panel of the last issue. A lot of this is part of a larger story you have to read the comics to understand. But it's also to stop Black Adam. There's lot of sad lines about robins and birds and tears will be shed soon lol, but Jason is a brave and noble little boy.
Dramatic sequences about the effect the Pit had on a young Jason was obvious from the get go. I find it would be a missed opportunity if they didn`t explore it and frankly I`m not too worried about him dying again unless is as a sacrífice to stop Black Adam`s facist reign. All I care right now is to enjoy the large ammount of plot and screen time dedicated to his noble and heroic qualities of his, something usually amiss and undevelopded outside flashbacks.
While I do want the happy ending for him in this verse, the hero journey for him seems interesting. He looks quite mature for his age...which reminds me of how Donna described him back on Teen Titans. Well, her and Dick actually. Dick even compared him favorably to how he was to when he was young.

Yeah, there is a possibility for a twist, but I'm not going to assume, especially since the final panel was about him and Isis sacrificing to stop Black Adam. But the comic also did end there, so it can walk back from it.
I'm not sure how it would work for in the future since he's a kid and would they have him with his moms all the time? Seems doubtful, so what would they do with him? I was thinking Cheetah might be involved in some way, but she did have an attempted sacrifice moment already, so we'll see.
Jason using a slingshot in Bombshells got me thinking, did he ever used one as Robin? Dick and Tim both did in early stories but I don't think that Jason ever did.
Two Robins, two Guns.

Ehhhh, not really excited about the Penguin showing up.
The cover doesn`t excite me but the use of Penguin will depend on plot.
But hey, seems like Loedbell agrees with you after all "looking to make a mark on Gotham`s Underworld"...ehhhh he`s already supposed to have a repsheet, dude.
