Around San Diego Comic-Con, Bleeding Cool heard the rumour that DC Comics were planning to off Red Robin, Tim Drake. Well, there are rather a lot of Robins and Batmannish folk, you probably wouldn't miss one.

It wasn't announced at San Diego, but the rumour didn't go away. But what can you see if you look at last week's Detective Comics #939?

DTC_939_5 Making plans to go to college… what is it they say about the best laid plans? And "leaving Gotham" – is this an example of "retirony"?02_17 And we get a seriously played out last stand against a bunch of armed drones that even Batman takes very seriously indeed. 02_18How many guns can he dodge anyway?

Detective Comics #940 is listed,

"Rise Of The Batmen" part 7! This epic concludes with a battle against the Colony that will change Batman's world forever—and in a way you'd never expect! Whether they win or lose, they've already lost…

And for the solicited covers to #941-#945, Tim Drake does not appear on them or in the descriptions…
