Robin #170 - DC


Robin seems more than a little distracted. There's a new Vigilante in town that calls herself Violet. She's really a thief, but she's low on Batman's priority list because she's robbing from thieves. After some investigating, Tim realizes that she seems to be operating out of this bowling alley, Pin Heads. It's know for it's bookie making, and numbers rackets. She seems to be watching it also, and then hitting the couriers when they leave to make their drops. So, to Batman, it's kind of a victimless crime. But the reason Tim becomes so obsessed with it, is because, for some reason, this girl just reminds him of Stephanie. As the Spoiler she also wore a purple outfit, and Tim thinks it a little to convenient to be coincidental. Plus he keeps thinking that he sees Stephanie from behind. He's seeing her everywhere. School, the streets, everywhere he goes. So he stakes out the bowling alley. But Violet is pretty good to. She finds Robin lurking about and jumps him causing a huge scene. So now, there little ballet has been noticed by the Penguin . . who's actually running the book there . . and he's hired one of his couriers, that's been robbed, to take them both out as payment on his debt. Chuck Dixon wrote it, and Chris Batista and Jamal Igle did the pencils. I like this little mystery that's going on now, about Stephanie. I never really thought the whole thing was wrapped up all that neatly anyway. Hopefully between this, and Gotham Underground, we'll finally put the issue to rest. One way or another.
