The Robin OYL Thread

[Nightwing 52]

You're right Corp, I just noticed he's holding one on that cover...

 

[Hellstormer]

If Tim uses a gun he's a coward, he has to much potential to bring himself to being a hitman.

 

[Nightwing 52]

thats pretty sad, i thought tim would learn from his future self, to prevent such a thing. and he the dude has better skils then needing a gun. im surprised you like this direction corp, considering your a fan of tim's.

And didn't Tim say he'd never be like his Tomorrow counterpart? That he'd do everything in his power to prevent it from happening, makes me curious as to what exactly drives him to start carrying one after he swore he'd never do such a thing.

 

[kiuju2k]

Yeah i really don't like tim heading towards his titans tomorrow self. I mean if you look at it he kicked that batman's ass. I believe he will go with the LoA if anything for some training thats what I want to see a capable martial artist robin(heres to hoping of course it won't happen). Him with a gun kinda disturbs me i thought bat prodigies were smarter than that.

On another note it leads me to believe that on that 52 cover the guy with the cape who looks like superman just might be conner. I mean if they have tim with a gun who is to say.

 

[GoldenAgeHero]

why would it be conner? he's not even that size. plus conner becomes the next supes when tim becomes the next batman. so i think your way off. and given the the trinity is coming back, and batman is already here(see detective comics 817), kinda makes your theory waaaaaaaay out of left field.

Which cover?

When the hell did using a gun suddenly become synonymous with being a hitman? I'm pretty sure Tim's holding a gun on that cover is either one of those cases where the cover doesn't really reflect what's in the issue or it'll be temporary. I don't see how using a gun makes Tim a coward, either. Arsenal uses guns. Is Arsenal a coward? Green Lanterns make giant emerald guns all the time. Are all the GLs cowards? Beyond everything else, Tim doesn't want to be like Bruce. What better way to strike out and differentiate himself from Bruce than by using a gun, since Bruce is dead-set against them?

 

[Hellstormer]

Arsenal and Green Lantern are diffrent. Arsenal is able to use guns because he was part of Checkmate if you were ever part of an organization you're allowed to use guns. Green Lantern can use a gun because it's no diffrent then him using an energy blast. In my opinion if Tim starts using a guy he's just a hitman that's going after criminals almost like Deadshot in his min but he's diffrent.

i doubt robin is gonna rebel against batman. plus i think its batman thats gonna say tim its time "you should be on your own now" or whatever.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Well, it's all just speculation at this point. We do know that something will change Batman and Robin's relationship over the course of the "Face to Face" arc in Batman's comics. What it is or how it changes their relationship is still totally unknown.

Arsenal and Green Lantern are diffrent. Arsenal is able to use guns because he was part of Checkmate if you were ever part of an organization you're allowed to use guns.

Arsenal doesn't kill people even though he uses guns. Why would Tim not be able to use a gun now and then without killing anyone? Besides, if Tim accepted the Veteran's offer, he would've been with an organization: a little one called the United States Army. If you personally don't like the idea of Tim with a gun, fine, but you're really not drawing any valid distinctions here.

 

[kiuju2k]

Its just outside of character. I don't think my idea was way out of left field i mean he looks more like conner. I don't know if they're gonna do that to tim why not conner. I haven't even seen anything on him after crisis so you never know plus that guy in that pic is missing an S. I don't know i don't know. Maybe i just want him to actually where a costume and establish a earthly identity for himself much like clark.

Fine I just don't think it suits Tims.

i think it just you. how does he look more like conner? he doesnt even have a freakin face. stop overthinking it. its just superman and wonder woman's shadow.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Or it's meant to represent the male and female superhero archetypes.

 

[kiuju2k]

Or conner kent getting a rather unique costume change? haha

 

[TheCorpulent1]

If by "unique" you mean generic, then yeah, I guess.

 

[boywondernerdDC]

that is not conner on the cover. the idea of tim using a gun is actually an idea i like even though, if the cover says anything, it looks like in a rage he took the gun. but i personally have loved arsenal's use of guns without killing people so why couldnt tim?? i see no reason to not use one in some instances like (not saying it has happen or will) but if robin fought amazo like nightwing and batman did a gun would come in handy considering he didn't have supes invulnerability....but yeah cool cover

whichever.

Wait, I thought the solicits have been saying that the Dynamic Duo are back together after Tim's name is cleared of whatever he didn't do/isn't about to do/or maybe whatever/**** this OYL crap/shouldn't be happening until IC is over/arrrgh.

By the way, did they ever publish an actual explanation for what went down in the intervening years of Titans Tomorrow? Like, the actual events that split the Titans, what the hell happened to Dick Grayson, how the older heroes died, and all this.

thats the impression i got, there back together OYL, but the solicists also says that bruce/batman has to make a descsion on the future of robin/tim. go to this linkhttp://www.dccomics.com/comics/?cm=4928
read this one too. http://www.dccomics.com/comics/?cm=5060

and finally this one. http://www.dccomics.com/comics/?cm=5378


and no there was no follow up to titans tommorow.

 

[Hellstormer]

Ya know what I don't get? If this is after crisis then doesn't that mean Alexander failed and the multiverse was remade? Or has it been remade and we just haven't seen the ramifications?

And do you think Wildstorm should be included in a multiverse since it is DC woned and other heroes hae crossed paths? I just needed somewhere to post this question

Here's the other problem with OYL--it all happens at the same time. We already know that the Duo's back together. So that "decision" will be to keep Robin. Totally ruined that one.

 

[Hellstormer]

Ok it's official, Tim's been getting younger as the years go on.

Tim in his first mini (i thought this was Dick!)

Tim's first issue of his ongoing

And his OYL appearence
