Considering that for much of Damien's time he was written by Morrison, I could see him not coming back our of respect to Morrison as he's a well loved writer.

Like the respect given to Watchmen?

Yeah, as soon as DC needs to do a big event for Bats, Damien will be back

Yeah, I doubt they'll have much "respect" for him once he's gone. If they think it can be profitable to them they'll bring him back. Look for Superboy to punch reality in the face again.

It depends on how they handle the situation. If DC has a new Robin waiting in the wings then yes he might stay dead.

Rather than get somebody new, Tim or Steph should return to the role.

They don't need to get someone new...they've Harper waiting in the wings

Fist McStrongpunch · February 27 2013, 09:51 AM

Tim's a superhero now in his own right. Why would he regress back into a sidekick?

Icemizer · February 27 2013, 02:31 PM

Damiens blood was infused with Lazarus Pit juice, he just needs a little bit to recover, he will be fine.
I am looking forward to a new and female Robin making an appearance. Time to break up the all boys club there and would enjoy the Batgirl, Batwoman, Robin teamup as well.

Quick thought on Batman Inc #8 -- I cheered, I laughed, I feared, I cried.

Good job, Grant Morrison.

You are seriously overestimating the importance of Batman Inc if you think it's comparable to Watchmen.

I just finished Batman Incorporated #8. I know some of you dislike Burnham's art work but I thought he did an incredible job with this issue. As far as the issue its self...wow. I think Allyn above summed up my feelings. Bruce is going to be pissed off for a while...and I'm actually looking forward to what Tomasai is going to be doing in "Batman and Robin" over the next little while.

Mr Light · February 28 2013, 04:39 AM

So y'know that new thing in the back of DC Comics where the little two page newsshow blurbs on their comics? It spoils the ending of Bat Inc #8. So anybody reading that in any DC Comic this week will be spoiled on the ending... if they haven't already been...

Who does the art on that, anyway? I think I first saw it in "Batman" and assumed it was Greg Capullo.

Trekker4747 · February 28 2013, 05:02 AM

Which is a pretty damn lame thing to do. The "news segment" thing is lame too. Am I really "paying" for this? Are valuable pages for more of the comic itself being used up for this nonsense?

Admiral_Young · February 28 2013, 05:14 AM

The Channel 52 stuff is lame.

I think Freddie Williams who did the new Captain Atom. The noses and the faces are in his style.

Oh, lord no. I'm simply saying that if they don't have respect for the Watchmen--a well loved COMPLETE story, why would they have respect for Morrison's wishes?

If bringing someone back from the dead will get them more dollars in the coffers, DC is going to do just that.

Allyn Gibson Rear Admiral Location: South Pennsyltucky	Re: DC's New 52: Reviews and Discussion (Spoilers welcolme and likely) Quick thought on Batman Inc #8 -- I cheered, I laughed, I feared, I cried. It's fitting that Damian's last partner is also his first -- Dick Grayson. And when they resumed their partnership for this final stand, I cheered. When Damian and Dick went into battle together, there were flourishes from the old Batman television series. I laughed. When Dick fell in battle against the cloned thing, when Damian made a stand on his own against the thing that outclassed him in every way, I feared. And when Damian's battle against the cloned thing reached its harrowing climax, when Batman raced across Gotham on the back of Man-Bat, when Batman cradled Damian's broken and lifeless body, I cried. Good job, Grant Morrison. __________________ "When David Marcus cited the great thinkers of history -- "Newton, Einstein, Surak" -- Newt Gingrich did not make his list." -- 24 January 2012 allyngibson.net

Mr Light Admiral Location: Pennsylvania	Re: DC's New 52: Reviews and Discussion (Spoilers welcolme and likely) Ugh, they actually did it. I really hoping that wouldn't happen. I think Damien is a great character. Still, it was well done in the issue. I'm really glad he got partnered with Dick for his final fight. I figured, uh, does Big Damien Clone have a name?, would be the one to do it. I wish Damien at least took him out in the process of dying. __________________
