If this was a mini series with a villain, maybe the Joker pulling the strings it'd work really well. But that would have him using them/the image of Robin negativity to create friction. It's possible that might happen here but basing an ongoing series around it doesn't work for me.Erin S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15663158782066282265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3056373842046198497.post-19824069668142529802015-07-08T10:53:40.291-07:002015-07-08T10:53:40.291-07:00Exactly, it just doesn't work with the idea.

Is Gordon let them do their stuff?<br /><br />If the series would've been something entirely isolated from the DCU (maybe under the Vertigo) it would've been great.

Maybe blinding them with their hero worship to turn them into fodder for his personal war? <br /><br />I always loved the Robins so the concept of this series does bug me. What right do they have to call themselves that? None of them have earned it and it's basically a family title since it originated with Dick.Erin S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15663158782066282265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3056373842046198497.post-56045248348904283522015-07-07T21:56:05.767-07:002015-07-07T21:56:05.767-07:00My biggest problem with this series is that the co...My biggest problem with this series is that the concept doesn't work with the setting. Snyder has spent his whole run driving home how terrible Gotham is and developing secret societies controlling everything from the shadows, In that context is absurd that a bunch of "supposedly" regular kids are gonna survive long and made a difference.<br /><br />It also devalues the meaning of the Robin identity, since it was supposed to be given to exceptional kids and almost always at a hefty price.Dark_Tzitziminehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17055905660404131186noreply@blogger.com
