so whats everyone think? spoiler...










so Harper Row as the new robin... whatcha think? i had a feeling with her solo story during the court of owls. she was less annoying in batman 18. i havent read anything but i think grant morrision or scott snyder talked about in a pod cast.

A week and a half ago, Scott Snyder had this to say about Harper in an MTVGeek interview:



I haven't seen anything more than speculation about her being the new Robin. At this point, I would say that it's premature to say she is definitely going to be Robin.

makes sense... figured it was way to soon to crown a new boy wonder but! i really don't believe creators... they love to throw out red herrings

Enough with the Robins already. Batman doesn't need a sidekick. Robin was created so the reading demographic of the time could have someone to relate to. Most kids don't read comics anymore. The demographic now is older males.

From a realistic standpoint, when is someone going to arrest Batman for child endangerment?

A grown man in spandex hanging out with young boys is scary enough as it is.

ten years after his initial retirement... yindel slapped it on him lol just saying.

Yindel was right! :)

How many Robins do we need?

Personally I hate robin. Batman is fine as a stand alone hero. Robin was only created to appeal to younger audiences which is bunk now cuz kids don't read batman now a days. I say keep the bird boy dead.

I can do without Robin. I know he's kept in the mix because it's a tradition. But maybe it'll be awhile before a new Robin is crowned.

It'll be a few months at least. For the next few months Batman & Robin will be renamed with a different second cast member: Batman & Red Robin, Batman & Catwoman, Batman & Nightwing, etc.

I really don't think she is going to be another Robin. I think that Scott Snyder wants to put his own stamp on the Batman mythos with a new character. Not a rehash of an old idea. She may be Batman's partner, but I don't think she will be Robin.

Although there is no Oracle in the New 52, so I guess that is always a possibility.

I also think it will be quite some time before Batman gets a new Robin because the main Batman title will be in Year 0 mode starting in June. So that leaves only 2 issues for Snyder to get a new Robin out there.

I guess anything is possible.

I do agree that Robin has run its course, but the fact that there is a potential for a female Robin is quite intreging. (sp?) It may last about a year and then, my guess, it'll be a spin off. My thoughts at least.

I concur with all the Robin hate, lol, I can do without another one...
