I was disheartened by previous comments and considered abandoning these Robin posts, but I decided to stick with them. Or was it just me being contrary? You decide. (See also: My Guy Gardner posts.)

Batman: Holy Terror
May. 17th, 2021 11:58 pmlizard_of_aus
Seeing Frank Miller's disasterpiece show up on scans-daily put me in mind of a certain obscure piece of my Elseworlds collection. As you can see, it is also known as Holy Terror, and it has Batman as the protagonist, like Miller's work was originally intended to. As you can probably guess, it also revolves around a powerful Abrahamic faith.
( There, however, do the similarities end. )

When the time came, as it inevitably did (and faster than you'd think. The vote to kill Jason was in September 1988, the stories I'm using here started in August 1989) for a new Robin, they sowed the seeds early.
( During Batman Year Three in fact )
icon_ukIt was 30 years ago next month that Tim Drake debuted the first major redesign of the Robin costume, outside of the older Dick Grayson of pre-Crisis Earth 2.

Black Panther #30: "The Story Thus Far"
Mar. 30th, 2018 08:59 pmsuperboyprime
"T’Chaka was not fat. Or short. Wakandan security forces are *elite* and could take on the AV’s themselves. The Dora Milaje would both need to be dead–twice–before they allowed any harm to come to their king. This was a gross violation of the T’Chaka character (and by extension, BP). T’Chaka was incredibly wily and would *never* have been caught off-guard like this guy. Assassinating the Wakandan king would be considered an act of war–not even mentioned. An old fat guy got whacked. On to the next plot point." - Christopher Priest on Captain America: Civil War
