As Dick finds out what happened to Raymond/Saiko years before





Odd that Dick doesn't seem to be using his escrima sticks, they'd be useful when fighting someone with hand blades, no?

But anyway....



The raw rat diet is looking pretty good by comparison.

The Court of Owls are indeed bastards of the first water! (I may have my little quirks, but that's too extreme for me thanks)

I tend, like icon, to think that the revelations of this story will be important for the crossover where they fight the Court of Owls, but I just can't imagine writers years from now being bound to details like the Graysons murder being the thing that saved him from being recruited into the Owls, which brought tragedy to Very Important Raya and Raymond. I think even already DC has shown signs they just want to have it both ways--they want the iconic Robin stories that work, they just also want Bruce to be young.

So I think it'll be in continuity that the Owls exist and that Bruce beat them. They might even keep the idea that the Owls had their eye on Dick. Because those things have potential to the story and characters we care about. But I wouldn't be surprised if they did that without erasing Dick and Bruce's relationship since that's long proven to provide good stories in ways these details don't.
