scans_dailySome love for the DCAU Robin--in this case, Tim. This particular story is called Disappearing Act, written by Matthew K. Manning and pencilled by Tim Levins
So here's the premise: Batman's disappeared after following up a lead on a robbery--a robbery committed by none other than J'onn J'onnz. Tim's gone to the satellite to try to get help from the Leaguers on watch--Superman, Flash and Hawkgirl. After Superman keeps Flash and Hawkgirl from beating the tar out of Tim for the unexpected invasion, they go on another call--apparently another Justice Leaguer is committing robbery:
So "John" gets away, and the League (plus Robin) go to investigate the latest breakout at the penitentiary. Of course, Robin already knows who the primary suspect is--Clayface.
Gotta love how cavalier the warden is about the breakout. Also, I just love the way Tim is hiding in the shadows in the second panel. So, Tim goes to check out Clayface's old cell
This time, Clayface is masquerading as Wonder Woman, but gives up that disguise pretty quickly. Meanwhile, Robin is trying to figure out the missing pieces of the puzzle using the book he found in Clayface's cell.
I love the way he nonchalantly dodges the attack in the third panel.
Anyway, also on the list of escapees is one particular felon who just might happen to have an interest in the book and the artifacts that Clayface has been stealing--Felix Faust
Oops, I think that's not gonna feel good in the morning, Felix.
Gotta love Robin making the spooky exit at the end.
What I really dig about this story is that it's great seeing A) Robin actually using detective skills, and B) the way the League mistrusts him initially, then later supports him wholeheartedly as he's gained their trust.
