What Might Failsafe Be? (Batman #125 Spoilers)

DC Comics has been teasing the appearance of Failsafe in this week's Batman #125 for some time. So secretive was the character's appearance that they… put him on the cover, as designed by Jorge Jimenez. Okay, so spoilers going forward beyond that, I suppose. But we have been talking about Batman #125 ahead of publication a lot and have discovered a few things of note…

But there can't be much. Failsafe, a seeming robotic entity is triggered in Batman #125. By what? Well, it has "a dark connection to Batman's past", there are a few options.

• We have the almost death of a Robin.
• We have the death of the Penguin,
• We have a Batman framed for his murder.

Could he be something Batman installed to take him down if he ever becomes a murderer? Something created by Fox Tech as part of the Magistrate Future State? Is he an Amazo? Or something else entirely? What is he a Failsafe for? Who built him? And why is he a threat to Batman? No, sorry, still no idea. Oh and in Batman #125 you are still going to get no ides. But you can see how the character appears in the comic book right here…
