Duke Thomas: We Are Robin, Signal Appreciation 2018

I`m not following the book, what did Duke do?

I just skim read it, but he's got some sort of meta power with his eyes, they turned yellow and he can see people differently or something.

Likely a function within the armor/helmet. Maybe lens.

The most meta I can believe they would go for would be the visual trick that characters like Hawkeye, Shado, Dragon and Cass do with analising flaws on someone. But that seems related to body/target reading characters. I could mention Daredevil here, true, but his case it really is enchanted senses.

He's not wearing any armor. Duke appears to be a metahuman. Daryl was asking what he is

And that's what Duke appears to be at the end of this issue. Like above poster said, he wasn't wearing his armor during the fight, his eyes just started glowing.

Yeah, the mention of Daryl thinking that Duke used one of his seeds, so perhaps he sensed something strange in his body. In which case the stress of his situation probably awakened it, but I don't really know what is power is supposed to be, beyond glowing eyes and strange zebra vision.

[Aioros22]

Ah no armor, yeah that`s something else.

Curiouser and curiouser....

Wait, so Duke has powers now?!

Holy shit, I'm sorry for you Duke fans (I'm indifferent to him as a character), cause it seems like they're doing everything they can to make us classic Batfamily fans hate him.

[Assam]

Sorry for double post.

[SpideyZERO]

On the contrary, Duke being a metahuman makes him much more interesting to me. Looking forward to more of his story

As a classic batfamily fan, don't speak for all of us. And I think this is better as Tim/Damian fans can stop claiming he is trying to take their spots as they are showing he is clearly something different than them two by having super powers.

[Aioros22]

Why would other fanbases hate the fact he may be a meta? Who cares?

All that matters is how he`s used and penned. The rest is more of the same.

Some things are not meant for men to know.

As for Duke being a metahumans, it is a development I like, firstly because it will introduce something new for Batman too (how do you train a meta when you aren't one yourself ?) and that Duke's powers aren't over the top (at least, I don't think that they are), meaning that he'll remains a street-level vigilante, only he'll have some sort of power (and it's great, Gotham deserved its own metahuman heroes, I mean it is full of meta-villains, it was about time that it gave Batman some meta allies who are locals, and it has done so, twice now).

Oh, and just thinking about it, but I think that Gotham-Girl will play a role in helping Duke handling his newfound power.

Time for Bruce to watch Arrow season 2.

"How to train your dra--our meta!".
