Title: Robin Dies on Wednesday
Post by: Bison on February 25, 2013, 06:23:44 PM
Well another Robin dies on Wednesday.  Seriously it's not a good gig to be Batman's sidekick.  They always end up dying.

Robin the Boy Wonder, Batman's aide-de-camp, will be killed battling a brutal enemy in a comic book published Wednesday.

It is like being the number 2 guy in the Taliban or Al Qaeda.  One of them gets drone poisoning on a regular basis or
The Boy Wonder is like a drummer for Spinal Tap.

IN the original Batman, didn't Robin wear a red shirt?

He also had shoes that Carrie Bradshaw would kill for.

DC wanted to kill a character that people actually care about.

They rebooted the entire DC universe and still couldn't make Aquaman cool.

Yeah but heroes don't tend to stay dead in the DC Universe. Jason Todd killed by the Joker but resurrected, Superman killed by Doomsday but resurrected, Superboy killed by Superboy but resurrected...you get the idea. Damian will be back eventually.

So you're saying it wouldn't do any good to kill Aquaman

LMAO at this thread. Poor Robin can't get any respect even when dead or compared to Aquaman.  8)

You don't need to be gay to know who Carrie Bradshaw is, you just need to work around women who seek to affirm their shopaholism through media role models.


Speaking of gay... I read a blurb that Catwoman is looking to take advantage of certain States' explanation of the definition of marriage to allow for more chromosomal pairing options than previously allowed.

This is like the fifth time I've seen this image. I think Kenny is trying to tell us something.

Either he got the runs from that coffee-choco sludge or he's trapped in Willy Wonka's next great invention, the Starbuckatopia.

Yeah, considering that Damian is the grandson of Ra's Al Ghul, and that his mother knows where the Lazarus Pits are buried, I doubt he stays dead long. I wouldn't be too surprised if he has already come back.

(Hasn't Talia already resurrected Tim Drake once, back when he was looking for Batman? If she brought a Robin back who was only the protege of her beloved, she'll bring back her own son. Only question is when.)


Also, Aquaman == King Conan + King Arthur with authority over 3/4 of the planet and high technology by DC Earth standards. Considerably more awesome than any of the Robins (although Grayson comes closest).
