The Robin OYL Thread

[The Ether]

I was waiting for Boomerang and Robin to meet each other. They have every right to hate each other, or they the opposite. who would have expected Beechen would do a great job on Robin?

 

[SouLeSS]

I can't find a copy of 149 anywhere. Guess it's time too look on ebay

 

[Tamanon]

Huh....well that was expected, wonder how it will all play out.

Spoiler

Cass is the leader of the League of Assassins, she wants revenge on Cain and Robin to join her, shock

 

[BatmanReborn]

ya i was kinda floored by the way 150 ended. It makes sense, and i wont complain because thus far i actually like robin oyl better than the other oyl titles.

 

[sinewave]

i just read issue #149 and if i'm not mistaken, i'm pretty sure that

Spoiler

cassandra hasn't been kidnapped, but is the new head of the league of assasins and she's trying to fool people into thinking it's someone else. i bet she went a little nutty once she was revived in the lazarus pit and she's now a villain. i think she'd make a pretty kick-ass villain. maybe she'll be one of robin's rogues, even.

ha! i called it! sorry, corp.

I wasn't surprised by it. The hint of it being Cassandra was all over issue #149. Especially when Tim was decoding the ransom note, and mentions how Bruce taught both him and her how to speak Navajo. #150 was another great issue to add to the title for OYL, I'm interested to see just how all this takes it's course.

 

[The Spirit]

^ Yeah I wasn't suprised by it either, great issue nonetheless.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Bull****. They better goddamn well give some explanation that the Lazarus Pit ****ed up Cassandra's head or something because that chick in Robin was absolutely nothing like the Cassandra that appeared for the entire duration of the Batgirl series.

Probably in the next issue, I wouldn't want her in her current state without an explanation either. If not, they may continue on with it and explain what happend to her in 52. Like what happend with Barbara and Dick, Jones has yet to mention it in his current arc...

 

[bulok]

Lazarus pit is so convenient how could that not be it? No other explanation except Cassandra's just living up to her childhood training what with her parentage and all.

 

[WonderWoman]

I agree with both Corpulent and Batman, I think it's the Lazarus Pit as well.

I hope Cass comes back as Batgirl after this whole thing, she was the best!

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Just living up to her training doesn't fit with the character established over the last decade at all, though. There has to be something more to it. I'm actually hoping it's not Cassandra at all. Maybe it'll be that Annalea chick impersonating her out of jealousy, since Cassandra was basically Cain's most favored child. I'm grasping at whatever hope I can that Cassandra will somehow turn up back to normal after all of this.

 

[J.R.]

This has been the best OYL title in my opinion. It'll be interesting to see how everything plays out.

 

[bulok]

OMG has it been 10 years since NML?? i feel old lol

 

[SouLeSS]

Can someone give me a quick rundown of 149?

 

[The Ether]

as long as Cass isn't a villain, I'm ok. Miss the times when she couldn't talk. It gave her so much character development potential.

 

[warren_sparta27]

i just read #150, and although it was a huge suprise, i'm still shocked.
and saddened that Cass is now a villian i was really hoping it was Bane kicking ass again, or Shiva. But oh well, at least we know what happened to Batgirl now

 

[kieron39]

i bet cassie and jason todd hook up (if he doesnt die again), they'll be like the ruthless side of the batman family. i'd like to see that.

that actually would be pretty cool. jason is tied to the league of assasins now so it could happen.

Basically what happend is that it we Tim inside the GCPD, recovering Batgirl's suit while being chased by a dozen police officers at the same time. They don't stop chasing or shooting him, until he switches his Robin suit with that of an officer to escape. After, he's back at his own safe house examining the suit and his eye catches something that's on the lense of Batgirl's mask. It's a small piece of paper which he later discovers to be written in Navajo. Lady Shiva ends up visiting him, telling him about her new leaf of working with the Birds of Prey. As well as mentioning Nyssa's assasination to him, possibly done by someone in the League of Assasins. Tim later thinks it's Talia behind it all, though in issue #150 we learn it's actually

Spoiler

Cassandra.

When she leaves, he later decodes the ransom note.

 

[SouLeSS]

Thanks Batman.

No, it's been about 7. I rounded up in my rage.

I hope Jason Todd never rears his ugly head anywhere near Robin. At least he's been mercifully contained to the crappy Nightwing comic OYL, which I'm probably going to drop before much longer anyway. I hate that guy.

The only problem with that, is that Annalea is dead....

I dropped it after issue #119. Jones' arc thus far hasn't been as amusing as all the other OYL titles. I don't like his depiction at all of Dick, and I'm hoping that after this whole ordeal of a female Nightwing it over with, that the book will start to pick up again.

According to "Cassandra."

 

[Nightwing 52]

According to "Cassandra."

She was killed in #149. Why else would Cassandra have called her "sister" before twisting her neck?
