It's Robin PTSD Week All Week At DC Comics (Spoilers)
This week sees the release of both Batman And Robin #11 and From The Vault: Death In The Family: Robin Lives #1 from DC Comics. It gets heavy,
Article Summary
- DC Comics explores Robin's trauma in Batman And Robin #11 and Robin Lives #1.
- New releases revisit Jason Todd's near-death and Damian Wayne's loss.
- Fans get a twist on history with an alternate tale where Robin survives.

This week sees the release of both Batman And Robin #11 by Joshua Williamson and Juan Ferreyra and From The Vault: Death In The Family: Robin Lives #1 by J.M. DeMatteis and Rick Leonardi from DC Comics. And both see Robins revisiting rather tumultuous events in their lives. Jason Todd walking out like the stroppy teenager from Bruce Wayne and Alfred at the Wayne Manor…
And Damian Wayne watching Bane on Dinosaur Island, recalling just what it was that Alfred said to him.
Jason Todd recalls the events with the Joker that, in another lifetime, would have killed him.
While Damian recalls the events that played out in front of him, despite Alfred's pleas, that saw Bane snap Alfred's neck.
This is not a great week for any Robin's mental health. Mind you, these are both Batman books, so it comes with the territory, Batman himself can't escape such fates even in Elseworlds like the new Batman '89, also out this week…
It was a different time. And this one took quite some time to come out…
