Tim Drake: Robin Stays With Batman Post H2SH, Anyone Else? (Spoilers)

Tim Drake: Robin stays with Batman after H2SH, but does anyone else? Big Bat Spoilers for Batman #161 and Batman #2...

Big BatSpoilers to follow. You have been warned. This week's Batman #161 by Jim Lee and Jeph Loeb sees Batman go up against the Batfamily, after he saved the Joker's life, as part of Hush's machinations in the currently running H2SH storyline. With Batman relaunching in September (even before H2SH concludes in October), there may be some joining up of events to do. Because it does look as if Batman will, again, be on the outs with the rest of the Batfamily. We know that as a result of events, Red Hood will relocate with Huntress to New Angelique. But what of the others? Well, the solicitations for Batman #2 by Matt Fraction and Jorge Jimenez, scheduled almost an entire month before Batman #163, reveal that Tim Drake's Robin will still be along for the ride. Here's some art from the comic in question.

But who will join him? This Wednesday sees Batman out of sorts with Batgirl over the whole affair. And here's where the rest of those big Bat Spoilers come in.

… and concludes with the entire Batfamily (as well as The Riddler) teaming up against him.

Tim Drake, notably, is not among them. But Huntress is. Here's how it will all play out in publication order. Batman #161 is published on Wednesday from DC Comics. Then DC will go without a main Batman comic book title until the Batman #1 relaunch in September, leaving this cliffhanger unresolved. Until Batman #162 comes back two weeks later. This is going to get confusing, right?
