I don't get it; they're turning Robin into a villain now? Why, DC? Why?

 

[Fledermaus]

I guess they figure since it worked so well on Batgirl, why not try it with Robin.

 

[The Leaguer]

The Kubert brothers are so damn overrated.

Find me someone at DC to kill for this.

I'm seriously starting to think they're just crazy. Like, lead-paint-on-the-walls, Charles-Manson-carving-swastikas-into-his-forehead, with-a-capital-C Crazy.

If Robin gets turned evil, even momentarily and does something horrible, I'm pretty sure I'd drop that title like a hot plate.
Although it's great to see Dixon return, I'm a big fan of his Nightwing run, I'm really going to miss Beechen, especially when he does the interraction between Bruce and Tim.

 

[The Leaguer]

I'm really going to miss Beechen

Yeah, it's definitely time for Beechen to go. Readers are starting to break.

 

[CBG]

Beechen needs to stay away from Cassandra Cain. As far as damn possible. The bastard.

 

[The Leaguer]

He needs to stay away from comics in general.

 

[CBG]

Has he ever written a good comic?

 

[The Leaguer]

No.

 

[SpideyInATree]

I got behind on Robin and finally caught up on the past two issues. I kind of enjoyed the whole Dodge storyline. It was wrapped up pretty good and everything. Nothing groundbreaking or anything that hasn't been done before, but a solid Robin story.

So, Beechen is leaving the title? I wonder who will pick up the writing duties then. Hopefully someone who can do something a little more interesting with the title than Beechen has done. Beechen just sort of seemed like a hit and miss kind of guy for the Robin title.

Chuck Dixon

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, I can't wait. Good Robin comics again. What a crazy shock to the system...

 

[SpideyInATree]

Sweet. Chuck Dixon! All right! I can definitely live with that. Hopefully he has a nice run on the book. And hopefully he doesn't have a deal like Waid does with The Flash, just writing three books or something like that, haha.

 

[The Leaguer]

I thought Waid was the ongoing writer for Flash?

 

[SpideyInATree]

I read in Wizard and in the Official Flash thread that Mark Waid and Daniel Acuna's run was only three issues and that another team would take over after them.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I didn't know it was just three issues. I figured he'd only be on for an arc or something, but I thought it would be a full, six- or eight-issue, trade-sized arc.

 

[SpideyInATree]

I am not entirely sure on the three issues thing, I swear I did read that somewhere, but I know that it's not a very long run at all. Because over in the Flash thread most posters were upset that Waid would have such a short run on a title like The Flash. And they already had the next creative team announced after him and that team escapes me right now...but it's no Mark Waid, that's for sure.

NEWSARAMA: So you’ve still got this book for the indefinite future?

MARK WAID: Far as I know, yeah.
