In part 3 of 4 Tim finally arrives in Hong Kong, gets some vague sexual promise/threat from Shiva, and is terribly disappointed with Clyde (parts 1 and 2 here).


Tim, Shiva, and Clyde track the plane carrying the deadly cargo to a field in Hong Kong.





Looks like Tim's been over ruled! I like how "Shiva's a homicidal maniac" counts as an excuse in Tim's book (yes, I get that he really just means that he expects more from Clyde).

Meanwhile, Dorrance expresses his displeasure with Lynx. She promised to make Robin very dead, but she failed.



We'll find out what Lynx's punishment is later. It's not very gentlemanly though, I'll tell you that much.

On this page Tim makes an embarrassing misunderstanding, and looks crazy weird in the bottom panel.



How much later, I wonder? Five years later might be good - just in time to save Tim from the ninja Ra's has sent to deflower him.



Actually I think you'll find that many white people, Christians, and white Christians have proved very keen on killing, Shiva.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to include any pictures of Shiva's training due to the page limit. She teaches Tim to control his emotions and fight with more finesse - that's it, basically.



That's right; Dorrance plans to unleash the bubonic plague on the city he purports to love - all because he's butt-hurt over the transfer of sovereignty. He explains how his plan is supposed to work:



A plague-filled water clock. My god.

In part 4 we'll see all three of our protagonists fight for what they want; Tim to save the city, Clyde for revenge, and Shiva for supremacy.

To be fair, Shiva more than likely knows that Robin is there for training, and knows the Robin is Batman's sidekick.

Oh, she know all right. So really she should be saying "how very Batman of you".

She hardly knows Batman though, they've only met once, during the "Death in the Family" arc, during which Batman drugged her with truth serum and forced her to admit whether she was Jason's mother or not. She has little respect for Batman at this point, aside from wasting what skills he has with non lethal combat.

"Very white of you" is an old saying from colonial times, when some white folk said it intending it as a genuine (if grotesquely condescending) compliment to non-whites. Since then it's become a cliche ridiculing assumed superiority because of ethnicity.

My father uses it as an ironic joke. Similar to his use of "Clever, these Chinese".
