We have seen Duke Thomas as a kid in Batman Zero Year.

We have seen him grow up as a confident of Bruce Wayne.

We have seen him lead the gang of Robins.

Go toe to toe with others who have worn that mantle.

And mocked for his choice.
We have also seen his future as a Robin.
But also as a "Lark"

The future, then, seems uncertain. But with Bruce Wayne making Thomas an offer pre-Rebirth…

And now taking him up on it in today's Batman: Rebirth #1…

We get a better look at what is coming. Spoilers of course. From today's Batman: Rebirth #1 confirmation that Duke Thomas will not be a Robin.

And a costume closer to that… of a Lark. Remember….?

And then lots of stuff about wheels, colours, doing your own thing, being someone else, not a Robin.

Well, in today's All-Star Batman #8 in the main strip by Scott Snyder, Giuseppe Camuncoli, Mark Morales and Dean White, he's still going by his real name. Which one would think should be a no-no in the Batverse right now.

And in the back-up by Scott Snyder and Francesco Francavilla, he's mocked for it. "Lark" is now shade, thrown by Isabella Ortiz of the We Are Robins crew.
