Robin #152 - DC

I'm digging this book more and more. Tim is trying to adjust, so is Bruce and Alfred, to living full time in the mansion. Bruce has decided to adopt Tim and give him a real family, since he's lost so many people in the last year or so. Well during the course of all this, Tim's contact at the GCPD, let's him know that they brought in a "henchman" who used to work with the Joker. His story is that the Joker used to keep an A-Bomb hidden in one of his hideouts, for something he was planning for Gotham City. Or course when Robin goes to this hideout to find it, it is gone. He begins searching for it, but instead finds Cap. Boomerang. The new one. Who apparently has been looking for Robin so they can "talk". They have thier obligatory scuffle, and then decide to team up to seach for the bomb. The reason I like the writing in this book is because they keep Tim real. He's had to deal with a lot of stuff in the last year or so, and to diminish any of that, would certainly diminish Robin's value and respect as a character. Instead they've had him dealing with the stuff as an ongoing process, which is appropriately "real". Dick Grayson was the first Robin, and as such between his adventures, and his continuing character of Nightwing, has definitely established himself as a brick in the foundation of the DC Universe. However, in my eyes, Tim is the best Robin ever.
