That would require somehow having a situation where Jason and Bruce were in opposition without the Bat Office and through them Bruce looking their fricking shit in a BatSchizo episode. It's not happening or if it does it won't be any good because of said inevitable spergy autistic shitfit they throw up onto a panel.
Before Jason, you even had some one-shot blond butthole who wore the suit just to save Bruce and then died. Being in the leotard manties or anything adjacent is cursed.
Well yeah. Most people would assume putting on swimming briefs and elf shoes then trying to go out and fight organized crime would get just anyone killed really real fast.
Surprised it took them this long to do a Superboy clone plot with Bruce.
Honestly, I'm curious to see how Zdarsky aims to pull this off, despite it's 100% likely he'll be killed off by the end of Zdarsky's run.
>There's now more Robins than there are named civilians in Gotham.
I keep thinking they should just have a dozen Robins at this point and just name them all Robin. Even have Dick put on a suit. Play into the whole urban myth and have so many Robins no one knows who Robin is or what he looks like.
Can't be, timelines don't work. Bruce is a very old man in Batman Beyond while Terry is only 16 at the beginning. Bruce is usually depicted as mid-20s to mid-30s in the books, so this is at least 20-30 years too early for Terry to be born.
Yes, and you could make things even dumber by having Terry one day discover his dad was a Robin and confronting Bruce about it. Bruce then tells him he's been watching over Terry his whole life because of that and him "accidentally" running into Bruce and becoming his protege was no accident, it was all according to Bruce's keikaku.
Dear DC, I want to give you an idea. For free.
You could actually unfrick the entire situation without leaving your zone of comfort and do what you always do. >"Deaths in the Family" (rehashing an iconic storyline's name!) >Joker (you don't have to give spotlight to any other villains!) goes on his biggest rampage yet (superficial attempt at high stakes to advertise in the solicitations!) and starts murdering all the pointless additions to Batfamily in gruesome ways (pointless shock value edge!) attempting to break Batman (more brooding Batman! Are we Alan Moore yet? Are we Frank Miller yet?)
This way DC can actually fix the Batfamily without actually taking any risks and doing exactly what it tends to do.
Probably Clockwork Oranges him to overload the brain chip with fear and makes him catatonic autistic brain mush until his deep seated desires for revenge kick back in.
Yeah, I think it was within the same month. Through the power of terrible writing, Joker was able to diagnose and cure the mind whammy that Zdarsky's Batman put in Jason.

Man, I legit pity Jason by this point. He's too stubborn to give up his obssession with Bruce even when they are fundamentally incompatible. The sad part is that I think that despite being a schizo, Bruce is aware of this on some level which is why he offered Jason a new identity on the other side of the country in addition to the fear toxin lobotomy.

I don't understand this posture, is not Jason nor Bruce's faults since you know, they are fictional characters. The problem are the morons DC keeps hiring to write stories with them.

Blame the Batgays in charge. That how these hacks write everything, especially villains.
>He recripples Barbara to start it off,
DC tried that already in Infinite Frontier. The backlash was so severe, they are afraid of ever touching the subject matter again.
I would agree with this normally but DC can't get away with killing a bunch of characters for shock value anymore. Not unless they're willing to ignore all the backlash that would cause.
>Kate, Tim, and Harper have the 'gay' defense. Although pretty much everyone ignores Harper nowadays anyway. >Duke, Onyx, Luke and Jace have the black defense. Granted that didn't stop them from killing off Orpheus or forgetting about Charles Bullock, but that was years ago and the internet is too omnipresent now to get away from the controversy. >Steph, Babs and Cass have the 'woman' defense.
The only safe-ish ones to kill off would be Dick (never gonna happen, Didio tried for over a decade and failed), Jason (he's my favorite Batfamily member but he is unironically the best choice to kill off again), Damian (he wouldn't stay dead for long, too popular right now), JPV (not popular enough to kick up a fuss if he died), Calvin Rose (too obscure and is he even still canon?), and Mary Turner (too obscure and is she still canon?).
You're right, and this is something normies (and frankly many comic readers) don't get. Capeshit is dumb, but there's a fun kind of dumb and there's a dumb kind of dumb. You have to develop a feel for this distinction to enjoy the genre or else you'll either bounce off of it or be constantly stewing in rage.
Jason isn't a fricking robin, the quickest way to fix him is to make him a criminal that kills criminals again, and make him an actual villain to the batfamily. Tim needs to fricking go, he's frickin useless now that Damian took his spot, at least have him leave Gotham, and go off to become his own man. Then this new clone can butt heads with Damian and give us a weird brother that is a exact copy of my father dynamic.
He was and is also grouped with them so he counts. He can’t become a criminal again because he can’t ever kill anyone meaningful and he has to stick with the family that hates him because it sells. You like no guns no helmet plus bonus lobotomy? Because that is what he is now. They hate him kek
You know, the question that makes Batgays suck Joker’s wiener.

Genuinely no idea what you're talking about. I guess you mean "Why doesn't Batman kill the Joker?" The answer has always been the same: "Because DC isn't going to kill one of their most popular characters you fricking moron."

That’s the logic of a hack who can’t make a good excuse to save his ass, and that’s not my point. Batman will never be able to answer the question without sounding like a schizo. So they have only one option left: keep Jason away from Batman. This is good because, without Jason, Batman’s writers don’t need to bother with the question and can do whatever they want.
>Tim needs to fricking go, he's frickin useless now that Damian took his spot, at least have him leave Gotham
Nice try Damigay. It's that little runt who needs to go.
Explaining away a single ward/son is one thing, explaining why a horde of unrelated strangers are all now living with you kind of stretches the secret identity bit.
>this is my son Damian my adopted son Dick and my dozen other adopted children no more questions please
>This is my adopted son Dick >this is Dick's fiance Barbara and the two teen girls she took in >this is Jason, he tried to rob me so I brought him home >this is Tim, he stalked me and won't go away >this is Duke, his parents are alive they're just infected with Joker Toxin
How does Bruce explains to the world the existence of Jason? Is he legally dead and technically doesnt exist or did he somehow find an excuse to bring back the kid he adopted and died in a terrorist attack?
Seems plausible. Nightwing is successful and the Titans nostalgia book has been running for more than a year. It's about time for DC to frick them both over for a Bat-Event, as per tradition.
Batmans just one guy. It makes sense he trains other people in the way of Batman. Imagine if he had a team or army of Batmans all trained by Bruce. Question is why do they always have to be kids? Did Bruce started training as a kid? He wasn't a teen or a kid looking for these monks in far away lands to learn martial arts from.
DC really needs to make a rule against writers trying to leave their mark by inventing a new Robin or Batgirl. Seems like every new writer does it in hopes of making an all new forever part to the franchise.
Who?
A literal, not figurative, clone of Bruce that Zdarsky introduced because there aren't enough fricking Robins apparently.
This character needs to be killed off immediately and frankly the same is true for Zdarsky.
Maybe he can be Jason's protege and get Bruce angry that his clone is siding with his failson and lead to a custody battle.
That would require somehow having a situation where Jason and Bruce were in opposition without the Bat Office and through them Bruce looking their fricking shit in a BatSchizo episode. It's not happening or if it does it won't be any good because of said inevitable spergy autistic shitfit they throw up onto a panel.
It would be pretty great if this happened and the Joker kills Jason's Robin for a laugh.
Did they make him by injecting Bruce's genetically modified sperm into another man and having him impregnate his with with Bruce's clone?
NO SCHWAY!
Clones, don't forget his little brother is a Wayne too.
>because there aren't enough fricking Robins apparently
The high turnover rate justifies it.
Before Jason, you even had some one-shot blond butthole who wore the suit just to save Bruce and then died. Being in the leotard manties or anything adjacent is cursed.
What issue was that?
Brave and the Bold #83, "Punish Not My Evil Son"
Well yeah. Most people would assume putting on swimming briefs and elf shoes then trying to go out and fight organized crime would get just anyone killed really real fast.
I thought Damian was already the designated angsty mini-Bruce
What the hell is this?
>someone should lose thier life because I don't like there comic writing!!
Story of his life
They need to do this again to him. There’s too many sons might as well kill off the worst of them all who has no meaningful bonds left.
Surprised it took them this long to do a Superboy clone plot with Bruce.
Honestly, I'm curious to see how Zdarsky aims to pull this off, despite it's 100% likely he'll be killed off by the end of Zdarsky's run.
I thought the new robin was that little asian girl?
Imagine believing bleeding fool clickbait.
No no, that was like fifty Robins ago. There's now more Robins than there are named civilians in Gotham.
>an event where everyone is Robin now
DC taking a page from Marvel's playbook, now?
We Are Robin came out nearly a decade ago
>There's now more Robins than there are named civilians in Gotham.
I keep thinking they should just have a dozen Robins at this point and just name them all Robin. Even have Dick put on a suit. Play into the whole urban myth and have so many Robins no one knows who Robin is or what he looks like.
The We Are Robin movement is back
Imagine if he is main earth Terry.
Can't be, timelines don't work. Bruce is a very old man in Batman Beyond while Terry is only 16 at the beginning. Bruce is usually depicted as mid-20s to mid-30s in the books, so this is at least 20-30 years too early for Terry to be born.
Shut up, nerd. Zdarsky will ruin Terry, and no one can stop him.
I can imagine DC doing some stupid retcon that actually Terry is Bruce's grandson by way of this clone.
So, you mean the clone would changed his name into Warren McGinnis, and live a normal life?
Yes, and you could make things even dumber by having Terry one day discover his dad was a Robin and confronting Bruce about it. Bruce then tells him he's been watching over Terry his whole life because of that and him "accidentally" running into Bruce and becoming his protege was no accident, it was all according to Bruce's keikaku.
That's not a fat black female lesbian in a wheelchair. What happened to diversity, DC?
>That's not a fat black female lesbian in a wheelchair
Wasn't that the legacy sentry or something from marvel?
Should had given Bruce a female clone instead of another male Robin with black hair that people can't tell apart from Dick, Jason, Tim, and Damian.
Great idea, then people could constantly confuse her with Cass instead.
I hate this one especially because it implies that Bruce Wayne is genetically special instead of being created by the crime alley event.
Worked for Batman Beyond.
No, it didn't, it's a blight on that story that completely undermines its central theme.
The point of that episode was that Bruce's genetics didn't actually have shit to do with anything. basically subverting the idea entirely.
Bruce Timm committed the original sin in having Bat-sperm cuckoldry as a plot twist.
I hope they name him Terry
His name is Wruce Bayne.
Bayne?
>Not Bruuce Wayne
>not Enyaw
Rekrap DISAPPROVES
>New Robin
Are you for real?
even if he does survive past Zdarsky's run he'll probably only have as much impact as Clown-Killer or Gotham Girl
Would be funny if there was a literal genetic clone of Batman in the continuity that every writer completely ignores because the idea is so stupid.
Who the frick is clown killer?
Anon meant Clownhunter, vigilante who kills Joker and his crew. Introduced a few years back.
Dear DC, I want to give you an idea. For free.

He recripples Barbara to start it off, then mows through more cannon fodder to get to his ultimate goal of Red Hood.
Joker leaves Jason alone because he loves him but Bruce abuses Jason in a new and hilarious way that finally turns him back to villainy
Probably Clockwork Oranges him to overload the brain chip with fear and makes him catatonic autistic brain mush until his deep seated desires for revenge kick back in.
> Red Hood (Joker Jr.'d version)
Could be cool, and I am saying this as a Jason stan.
It'd bring things full circle from Jason to TNBA Tim and back
Even more ironic, when one considers the fact that the Red Hood moniker was in some senses "inherited" from the Joker.
Yeah he actually likes him in some twisted way seeing as he went out of his way to fix the lobotomy his loving father gave him.
Wait what the frick.
JOKER of all people was the one to fix what Bruce did to Jason?
Yeah, I think it was within the same month. Through the power of terrible writing, Joker was able to diagnose and cure the mind whammy that Zdarsky's Batman put in Jason.
Anything terrible is possible in this shitty era.
Mind you, that wasn't the original Joker but a henchman that got turned into a Joker clone to be the original's scapegoat. Yeah is fricking moronic
Man, I legit pity Jason by this point. He's too stubborn to give up his obssession with Bruce even when they are fundamentally incompatible.

They can bring back Lance Bruner (the guy who died in a Robin suit saving Bruce) and "Roberta the Girl Wonder", just for cannon fodder.
I love capeshit because it's stupid but sometime it's so stupid I hate it.

zdarsky is a marvel plant.
Unless Robin is female I don't care.
Have I got some good news for you!
If only we could live in the beautiful world where Maps was Cass's Robin.
The dream still lives anon
If they were going to give him another Robin they might ad well have brought back Jenny Wren.
Bruh, I wanted a cute girl to ship her with Bruce... Frick dc
Someone needs to die to make room for the superior clone son. My vote goes to J*son worst son
Not Tim the gay son?
Jason isn't a fricking robin, the quickest way to fix him is to make him a criminal that kills criminals again, and make him an actual villain to the batfamily. Tim needs to fricking go, he's frickin useless now that Damian took his spot, at least have him leave Gotham, and go off to become his own man.

To be fair, Jason isn't the sort to stop trying, even in the face of hatred and opposition. Stubborn SOB.
Nah. Jason only needs to ask one question to set him free from Batman and his stupid family.
Whats the question anon?
You know, the question that makes Batgays suck Joker’s wiener.
Genuinely no idea what you're talking about. I guess you mean "Why doesn't Batman kill the Joker?" The answer has always been the same: "Because DC isn't going to kill one of their most popular characters you fricking moron."

So they have only one option left: keep Jason away from Batman. This is good because, without Jason, Batman’s writers don’t need to bother with the question and can do whatever they want.
And that question is if he can kill himself. He'd be doing the rest and himself a favor.
>Tim needs to fricking go, he's frickin useless now that Damian took his spot, at least have him leave Gotham
Nice try Damigay. It's that little runt who needs to go.
OK, and Damien is doing what right now?
>Uhhh... Please tell me that's your codpiece...
Apparently the entire batfamily + Selina + Huntress are all going to be living in Wayne Manor Together moving forward.
Even Barbara and the girls?
Not sure about Barbara but I think Steph and Cass are living with Bruce
Didnt he lose it how did he get it back
nae clue but he does and the batfamily are all living under one roof.
Explaining away a single ward/son is one thing, explaining why a horde of unrelated strangers are all now living with you kind of stretches the secret identity bit.

How does Bruce explains to the world the existence of Jason? Is he legally dead and technically doesnt exist or did he somehow find an excuse to bring back the kid he adopted and died in a terrorist attack?
He'll explain him away as Jason's legally unknown twin, Joseph Todd.
It's about to be a big bat orgy in there.
So they are making canon Wayne Family Adventures. I'm down if that means bringing Alfred back
Quickly, they need a necromancer
Seems plausible. Nightwing is successful and the Titans nostalgia book has been running for more than a year. It's about time for DC to frick them both over for a Bat-Event, as per tradition.
Damian was pushing it. This is straight up parody.
perfect, now Bruce can go frick himself for real
Batmans just one guy. It makes sense he trains other people in the way of Batman. Imagine if he had a team or army of Batmans all trained by Bruce. Question is why do they always have to be kids?
