This though, not interested. Grayson getting shot in the head and Alfred's senseless murder are 2 of the biggest reasons I am scaling back my comic book purchasing these days.Nicholas Fennerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12425379488804424054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8557726951171561616.post-71242229790958936212020-02-13T00:21:45.438-05:002020-02-13T00:21:45.438-05:00They really don't know what to do with Tim in ...They really don't know what to do with Tim in the regular Bat books and you're right...they keep messing him up anytime he shows up.Jim Wernerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12307419602315578911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8557726951171561616.post-66854768795813881992020-02-12T21:11:53.656-05:002020-02-12T21:11:53.656-05:00Where do I begin?

I found his run overall to be depressing. <br /><br />Now then, onto my other issues. I have to assume this takes places after whatever the hell is happening in Young Justice because back in Batman #71 there is a cameo of YJ fighting some samurai soldiers but Tim is still in his Red Robin costume. Does this mean he eventually gives up the Drake identity or do Bendis and King just suck that much? And I now realize this probably would have been a better question for Batman #71 or the YJ issue which reveals the new look but I can't be the only one wondering. Tim has appeared in the RR suit a few times since #71 which can't be before YJ since the cameo in that issue.<br />The other continuity problem with Tim: his flashback was to the beginning of his career but his suit has two Rs on it. Are we still holding to the "he was always Red Robin" backstory from the New52 even though "A Lonely Place of Living" restored his pre-Flashpoint origin?
