I guess technically Tim Drake was my introduction to Robin. I read Identity Crisis and like a random Teen Titans trade here and there before the New 52 but I found getting into superhero comics pretty intimidating before the renumbering. So really, for a long time, Damian was the Robin I was most familiar with. It was…

I only included that because I just happened to read it not too long ago. Double-checked it really quick before I posted but just on wikipedia so I could still be wrong. But ultimately I think the cost is inconsequential and the part that’s relevant to the ongoing conversation is that one person did influence the…

I disagree. I love Jason’s backstory. I think it makes him so interesting. Like I said before, I think they’ve done a good job with all the Robins. I love that, after Dick who is defined by his ability to overcome his personal tragedy and face life with light and humor, Jason comes from a world that Dick never knew.…

It was .50 per call and editor said there was one person in california who rigged his computer to call the “kill” like consistently accumulating over 300 votes. Assuming they actually paid for those calls (I don’t know how 80's tech works :) ) dude would have spent about $150.

Yes. Dennis O’Neil said that there was one person in California who rigged their compute to dial at intervals racking up over 300 votes.

Indeed. It would be heartbreaking. Jack is a very sympathetic character. They’ve done a good job of making me care about him, even through my skepticism during the first few issues. I really want to protect him from the Joker because I feel like the Joker enjoys torturing Jack as much as he’s obsessed with Batman :(

Then thank you! I was too young to read it at the time (barely born) but I’ve read his entire run as Robin and I liked him (but I didn’t have the contemporary context of Dick leaving... my Robin is Tim Drake and I was used to mantle passing by the time I read it) so I probably would have voted to keep him alive. Which…

Dick and Tim went up against Batman when they were Robin pretty regularly (especially Dick). And I’ve read all of Jason Todd’s run as Robin, albeit not during the 80's (I was only a few months old when he was killed off), and he wasn’t bad at all. I think the biggest reason he was disliked is because people were just…

It’s not really being portrayed as a choice of Jack’s. He seems genuinely horrified and scared when the Joker starts to come out. It may end up being a long con of the Joker’s but I don’t think Jack knows about it.

So there seems to be a bit of a misunderstanding. There will be two new titles as well as the regular Justice League title all of which spin out of No Justice, BUT No Justice is the storyline that breaks the superheroes into teams Wonder, Mystery, Entropy, and Wisdom. These teams do not continue beyond the events of No…

I’m aware. Sometimes people misspeak.

You’d have to assume Kendra is gone too...

I think he means in the JL animated series. And in that case he would be right. In the animated series Aquaman was not a founding member. It was my first thought, too, when the article said, “Yup, save for a swap in of Barry over Wally West, and the addition of Cyborg, this is pretty much the team we all knew and…

Oh, you :)

I feel like it’s actually more difficult to get the biggest, most popular characters working than the smaller, lesser known ones. EVERYONE and their dead great-grandmothers have a personal concept of the real Superman and the real Batman and when this group over here gets what they want these other 90 groups over…

Wait, a New Gods movie?! Is this something I should have known was in production before now? Holy crap. That’s cool. Maybe it can retcon Steppenwolf back to normal size.

This has me pretty psyched.

Maybe because I was removed from the cultural and historical context surrounding his introduction and Dick Grayson was never my Robin, but the character never came across as writers or editorial trying to be edgy. Perhap it’s because, given some concession for being a comic character, he acts in a very real and…

And their resemblance to Bruce is a running joke that I love every time it pops up.

I respectfully disagree about the blond, I actually like the red better than the blond (at least, after Frank Quitely left). I really do think it’s better if they’re all dark haired (sometimes artists give one or two of them brown…

No actually that would make perfect sense. Starting Jason Todd’s story at the beginning never even occurred to me. That would be the best way to do it. Even though I would prefer they say that Jason’s been Robin for a couple years now. New 52's wonky Batfamily timeline is kinda semi-retconned in Rebirth and a longer…

Hopefully the black. Grant Morrison never really understood the character. It’s best if we just kinda forget what he did with Jason Todd and stick to Winnick’s interpretation.
