Was Batman's First Ever Robin… English? (Robins #2 Spoilers)

Published Mon, 15 Nov 2021 10:27:11 -0600

Tomorrow sees the release of Robins #1 in print. But the comic by Tim Seeley and Baldemar Rivas which appropriately won the DC Round Robin Tournament, was published first on the DC Universe app which is still inexplicable unavailable outside of the USA unless you use a US credit card registered to a US address and a US IP. So, that's basically me.

But it has given print speculator purchasers a head start in the knowledge that the series, as well as showing all the Robins and exploring their relationship with each other, and Batman., introduces a brand new Robin. With the suggestion that she's been around a lot longer than one may think.

But also this week we have seen the release of Robins #2 on the DC Universe App.

Which suggests that this new – or old – Robin, is now an assassin.

And also might be English – from Yorkshire, Lancashire, or the West Country, using vernacular like "love" as an endearment.
