Robin #178 - DC


Fabian Nicieza and Freddie Williams II are putting together a fantastic story-line here. I love the direction that were heading. Robin seems to be wrestling with a decision, but he's not really saying what it is out loud. He's trying to figure out the best way to contain all of the violence that bubbling just below the surface of Gotham. He's really doing the best he can, and getting help from everyone he can . . including Ragman. But, there's a few X factors also. First, there's someone running around in the Red Robin outfit. He's shown up at a couple of Robin's scuffles . . from a distance . . and has kept his involvement to a minimum. But Robin doesn't really know who's side he's on. The only thing we really do know is that it's not Jason or Dick. Other than that . . who knows. The other factor is . . I think that Stephanie may be working against Tim. She acts like she wants to help . . and has been there for him on several occasions, but . . I think she has her own agenda. The problem is . . we don't know what that is. And Tim's got to much on his plate right now to even notice. But anyways . . back to the decision. I'm thinking the decision that Tim's wrestling with is . . . whether or not he's going to pose as the Batman in his absence. I think he's coming to the conclusion that there's only so much he can do without the threat of 'a Batman' out there. So I think he's going to address that personally. Which, unfortunately, would lead him closer to the future that he witnessed in Teen Titans. I don't think it's going to be long now.
