Another Robin. You are not going to believe this...

And again I say "Bah!"

I'm really enjoy the trades I've been getting lately of older stuff...to hell with this "modern" era...

When I get to Working ....
I'm going Back ..., and Gonna Start with Batman ..., and Start Getting from 398 to 1 .
Just here and there, and something I am into that I've always wanted to do.
The New 52 is Junk Mail Spamed imo.

According to the article she is not a young kid like in DK...She's "A Spunky College Girl..." I give it a year and we will see the wedding of Batman & Robin. Mark my words ...Sensational without killing a character off this time.

^Yeah, I noticed they made her "legal". Probably afraid to stir up stories of a grown man living with an underage girl. The image of a costumed Carrie hugging a naked Bruce Wayne in DKR was always a bit...odd for me anyhow.

By making her college-age, they are free to exploit her sexuality. And yes, they could possibly marry her off to Bruce. As I said earlier, nothing would surprise me.

or i will later be revealed she is another illegitamate child of Bruce's, maybe with Selina or something. maybe they reveal that after they use the romance angle. nothign they do surprises me anymore

>The negativity with this confuses me. Wasn't this bound to happen sooner or later?

I agree, considering the closed circuit nature of superhero books. I also think it's another misstep: an attempt (effective or not) to appeal to the OLDER crowd, who've already given up or are already lifers. They're cribbing a character from a comic that's like, 25 YEARS OLD!

>I noticed they made her "legal". Probably afraid to stir up stories of a grown man living with an underage girl.

Maybe. Perhaps they're still smarting from the Hal Jordan/Arisia thing. I suspect the truth isn't as detailed. Or inflammatory. They probably figure a kid sidekick wouldn't appeal to the readers.

Got to have another Robin to kill off at some point, why not Carrie Kelly?

If Batman/Bruce has only been in action for about 5 years in the new 52, where does a 10 year old kid with Talia come from? Did they do some Superboy style accelerated age thing or did they retcon his history so that he hooked up with Talia before he was Batman?

[jwyblejr]

Not to mention the fact that DC had a popular Robin in Damian Wayne and offed him. They could have over ridden Morrison on that.

No kidding. They did it with Alan Moore.

Robin is now the comic equivalent of the drummer in "This is Spinal Tap".

Well, considering all those red shirted guys that got whacked in the original Star Trek, it makes sense that all those red breasted Robins would have short life expectancies, too.

I think (and I might be wrong here) that in New 52, Talia has the baby grown in some test tube chamber thing rather then natural birth. Then artificially aged. Seems kind of dumb.

What gets me is that she seems to be a rip off of Velma Dinkley from the Scooby Doo franchise!

The glasses, the hair, the face; they all scream 'VELMA'!

I liked Damian! Why do they keep messing this stuff up?
