Sophia’s Reviews > Robin, Vol. 2: Triumphant > Status Update

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a CE do a variant cover gallery! That was cool.

Robin III #6 -
Tim beats up the slew of goons and makes it out of the room with Ariana in tow.

Then, the situation gets more complicated when Huntress is captured and the Ghost Dragons arrive!

Robin saves Huntress of course. And Sir Edmund knocks out KGBeast!

Ed and Robin agree to a deal, but Tim gets a laugh because he made the counterfeit money unusable!

Tim’s dad just changes his mind like that??

Robin III #5 -
Clever how they had Huntress wear a Superman arm band but not explain it. Works for those who know AND who don’t.

Robin has learned what the Russians are planning and searches different locations with Huntress.

They find the right factory but Huntress enters first… And is knocked out by KGBeast!

Robin tries to deal with the program first.

Then he spots drug packers… One of them is Ariana!

Robin III #4 -
Tim’s skipping school and getting into arguments with his dad.

Then he goes to Huntress - and tells her he knows who she is - to discover more of the Russian’s plan.

They get ambushed by some goons and the KGBeast but are able to subdue them all.

The next day, Tim runs out on the councillor. Then his dad tells him, he’s sending Tim to a school in Metropolis!

Robin III #3 -
Tim feels the lies swallowing him up. He hates lying to his dad but can’t see any other way….

Robin is snappy with Huntress but they are interrupted by an older Russian who wants to help his new country.

Nothing good comes out of that as Tim learns Ariana was killed and gets a new bruise.

Oh, and Lynx took one of the Russian goons. Edmund wants to take over their plan…

Robin III #2 -
The Commissar asked the same question I did, why’d his henchmen kidnap Ariana after they killed her father?

They needed him to print on those papers Huntress saw.

Speaking of, Huntress seemed shocked Batman hadn’t told Robin anything about her. And she doesn’t reveal why his mentor has an issue with her…

Tim’s councillor made assumptions and told his father… Bruce is beating him!

Robin II #4
Robin’s plan involves Alfred tapping into phone lines and borrowing a Batman costume…

As Gordon reassures the Mayor Bats can handle the Joker, he’s hoping that Robin won’t let him down.

His plan allows Robin to get the drop on Joker and he chases after him into a waste facility.
Where Joker (and his plans) end up in… do-do.

Back at Arkham, Joker promises to make sure Robin stays dead next time.

Robin II #3
The Joker makes his demands on the city… Something the city cannot provide.

Through a D&D rip-off game, Tim gets an idea. An idea that is almost turned around on him!

Lucky his second idea yielded better results…

Gordon doesn’t want to leave the fate of the city up to an ‘adolescent’.
Robin wants to feel as confident as he sounds when he says he wants to deal with the Joker himself!

Robin II #2
Robin tries to use a projection of Batman to make people believe he’s still around.

Unfortunately, he did not account for Joker trying to shoot the hologram…

Causing a distraction, Joker was able to plant a drugged Pellinger’s program within Gotham’s phone lines.

Joker got a few hits on Robin before getting away. The young hero is NOT happy…

And Joker realises Robin’s ‘home alone’!

Robin II #1
So much for Robin’s first solo outing being an easy one.

Joker once again escapes Arkham and is determined to plunge Gotham into chaos.

No one can fault Robin’s investigative work when a clue leads him to the right person.

Computer expert Pellinger… Who Joker kidnaps to force him to make ‘the town a circus’!

Robin realises he has to make Joker think Batman is still in town…
