	at least she's trying. How many months has it been since Final Crisis and they're jsut starting to reference it? I wonder if that's an editorial decree to make it seem important. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I'm not sure where it fell continuity-wise in relation to Final Crisis, but in the last issue or two of the Robin title, Tim appropriated just the hood from the Red Robin costume to cover either a bad wound or a bad burn (burn, IIRC) over about half his scalp - very identifiable.

	Hey, well-written Cassie! Nice to see you again! Tim may be an emo pile of angst right now, but at least he's adorable when he's not in costume! I'm gonna just be an optimist and block out all the bad. It'll work...right? (Reply to this)

	Oh Cassie... you think Batman can actually die. Tim knows the editors won't allow it. Also good for Tim finding that piece of rock that Batman drew on; but how did he know Bruce wasn't dead. (Reply to this) (Thread)

So so far each issue of this has had Tim deciding that another support system in his life has betrayed him. First one was Dick, then Stephanie, now Cassie. ::sigh::

Though I kind of like the way they're showing that no matter how aggressively he's pushing everybody away, they're all trying to support him anyway. He refuses to speak to Dick, so Dick can't call him, but I like the way Yost keeps making it clear that he's still obviously thinks of Tim the same as ever. Unless they have a big falling out in issues to come.

I admit I'm drawn in. When Tim talks about how he's got to get everything back to the way it was, back when he started out when he was 13, and he thinks he's going to do that by chasing Bruce (and finding Ra's), that's really sad.

	This reminds me of something I mention a lot: Spider-Man constantly giving the Punisher a "pass." Even if Jason did kill people while dressed as Batman, they were criminals. If the Punisher killing criminals doesn't bother Spider-Man, then Jason Todd killing criminals shouldn't bother Tim Drake. What part of the Anti-Life Equation would Tim agree with?

When they started with this "Tim believing Bruce is alive" thing, I was guessing that maybe Tim examined Bruce's remains that would lead him to believe Bruce was not dead. Despite its condition, (flesh burnt off and the clothes remained)there is a lot of information there to confirm if this is Bruce or not. Broken bones, I'm sure there were a few teeth knocked out and replaced, and don't forget the surgery done on him by Thomas Elliott in Hush.

That would have been interesting to see Tim use his detective skills in finding out the truth, but sadly they seem to have forgotten this one talent of his.

	I... I'm liking this. A lot. I don't know what's wrong with me, I'm liking it so much I'm considering buying this issue. Why? Well, because Cassie is decently written, Yost is pulling a lot of stops to explain Tim's emotional state, there's a reference to Tim being the Robin who needs a Robin (Tim? That's why you were dating Steph, darling.)... I'm so conflicted. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Interesting that they're FINALLY saying what the Batboys were doing during Darkseid's reign, because the miniseries told us bugger all after they answered a call by Alan Scott. Always seemed irksome in such a Batcentric series. (Reply to this)

	Man, I'm of two minds about about this issue of Red Robin. I like the assassin trio and Ra's, but every time Tim gets emo I want to shout, "Oh, shut the fuck up, Drake!" His whining is completely irritating. (Reply to this)

Its nice to see Cassie being written well, getting Final Crisis mentionings from other peoples perspective (though this is a retcon, they had Tim as an extra in the background I think at Superman's Fortress of Solitude with Supergirl and streaky, I think.)

It's nice to see Tim looking his age (wonky art in some places, but I like how they're drawing Cassie's shirt too and dealing with the metal bands being actually a shiny PART of the shirt, really cool.)

HOWEVER I feel they've really really shafted Stephanie, Cassie gets this and Stephanie gets kicked in the stomach...kinda unfair. I mean, she DID lie to Tim, lied to him about dying, lying about hiding information about Batman..... but I had thought they had gotten past that. Kinda confused, unless this spurning was necessary for her to do whatever they have planned to do in 'Batgirl'.

That comment about Anarky though, I thought Bruce was dealing with RIP, or was RIP really just in his head on that Lump Clone Machine and he had been abducted? That makes it seem like he dissapeared/died there instead of Final Crisis.

	I've been buying RR issues these last few months, and am being drawn and drawn deeper into the plot. And being entertained by thoughts that in RR Tim's gonna get laid. For the first time? I don't think I've seen scans that states that Tim actually did the deed. (Reply to this)

	psychop_rex 2009-08-15 02:45 am UTC (link)
	Aw, dammit! Just when it looked like Tim was FINALLY going to have his cathartic 'man, it's so GOOD to finally tell someone about this' moment, Cassie has to open her big mouth. Dammitall, Cassie, your timing sucks. Couldn't you have just said 'but how can he be alive?' or something like that, and let him KEEP TALKING? He might have finally loosened up a bit! Grrr!
