This is gonna be a fucking disaster.
Guys on right are fucked.
>>77433151
Who else read that as Porn War?
>>77433151
Is the Battle of Cross-Dimensional Alfreds up next?
Will Batfags literally buy anything tangentially related to Batman regardless of quality?
DC sure as fuck hopes so.
>>77433151
He was just an impostor pretending to be Robin. Batman wouldn't let his students use guns.
I'm curious why are the two teams on the side opposing each other.
>>77433269
>Batman wouldn't let his students use guns.
Whole right team has weapons, unlike left.
>>77433151
Im sure training a bunch of kids stupid enough to try and do vigilante stuff untrained isn't going to end well.
>>77433331
The most retarded thing is Dick going "this is my responsability"
Not it isn't you fucking idiot, you should be stopping them not praising them
>>77433151
The picture implies that there's going to be conflict between the robin teams. Red hood probably wants excessive brutality. One can clearly see by the gun he's holding. The robins on the left team want to do it the code of honor way like Batman wanted.
>voices
ugh
can someone just sum up what happens please?
>>77433331
1/4 of the canon robins became villain.
Sure he turned good again, but training a 100 kids is probably going to turn up some supervillains.
>>77433422
Fake Robin whacks crook and cop.
Dick gives speech about heroism and how Robin kids are awesome and trve heroes and welcomes them to Robin school.
Those voices were painful.
>>77433151
I like the idea of Dick training a bunch of kids that want to help the city, but then gain i bet these fucks are going to start trouble
>>77433151
Tom King is writing it, why would it be a disaster?
>>77433422
The first video is about an mask stranger who is stopping a robbery inside a store. The masked stranger who stops the robber claims to be a robin. After the masked stranger stops the robber, the police aims his gun at the robin. The police tells the person to be robin to drop his gun. He doesn't. The criminal wakes up from being unconscious. He tackles the police. The masked stranger and the criminal have a shot off. The police and the criminal died in the stand off and the robin lives.
The second video is about Nightwing given a lecture to dozens of people wanting to be Robin and how hard job it is. That's pretty much it.
>>77433492
Because while hes on a streak of good writing, plenty of other good writers have written terrible books.
>>77433269
>He was just an impostor pretending to be Robin. Batman wouldn't let his students use guns.
Well that's pretty much the idea behind We Are Robin, none of them are trained by Bats
>>77433420
eh, red hood hasn't been about "excessive" brutality for quite some time. if anything, his philosophy has generally become "violence, is necessary. sometimes murder is necessary."
>>77433168
Can't wait for Jason to get another Dick-shaped footprint on his head
>>77433492
It doesn't makes a lick of sense.
Dick's willingly sending a bunch of random kids to their deaths. He says their going to train them, so they will be ready in a few nights? Is Dick staying on Gotham for at least a year to giving them proper training?
Jason and Damian fucking DIED on the job, how the fuck are they alright with the idea?
>>77433151
Why the FUCK does Damian have the staff instead of Tim? That staff was like half his character.
>>77433578
Damians probably going along with it because of his respect for Dick.
>>77433622
Just goes to show you how little character Tim actually has.
>>77433632
And Jason?
Hell, the kid on the first preview got both a cop and a mugger killed. How the fuck is Dick alright with that?
>>77433578
>>77433646
I thought the main premise of the event is that Damian returns to Gotham and is pissed with a bunch of kids claiming the Robin name?
>>77433578
If the situation in Gotham is ever going to get better, change obviously has to come from its citizens, since the Police and Bat family are incapable of making any significant, long-term gains.
Is this the form for that change Dick would have picked if he had a choice? Probably not, but he'd be stupid to think of it as anything but a good thing.
>>77433622
I am angry it doesn't even have their right weapons. Dick is escrima sticks, Jason is a gun, Tim is a staff and Damian is a sword
Gahhhh
>>77433151
Why the hell would they be fighting
>>77433669
That is how it was advertised but now is about the WAR kids figthing the Court of Owls and the OG Robins getting caught in the middle.
>>77433684
So Dick is fine if the future is being built over the bodies of a bunch of idiot kids and innocent bystanders?
Because sure as hell those kids won't be ready to fight Gotham's crime on just a few nights.
>>77433669
Well, with the opening to Robin War #1, it might be that he hates his name being tarnished by an amateur killer.
Besides being annoyed about the sides vs weapons, I'm not going to put too much stake on a promo image. It can't be as terrible as BR: E and has some of DCs best creative so I have cautious hope
>>77433684
I mean in the Bats absence, the problems Gotham has doesn't disappear. Gotham becomes overrun with wannabes who don't know what they're doing, We Are Robin already has a death so I guess the idea he feels responsible to make sure they're at least better equipped makes sense,
>>77433669
That's what it was initially billed as, but now it seems more like a Dick event.
>>77433668
He's not alright with how they're doing things, hence the Robin school
This sounds like a trainwreck.
At least I hope it will be an entertaining trainwreck, unlike BRE who is dull as fuck.
>>77433668
Jason's retarded. This is unquestionable.
And that kid killing the mugger is probably why Dick is taking over to teach and discipline them. He can't stop the Robin movement, but he can at least control them to prevent them from doing stupid shit.
>>77433786
This
At least we could get a decent storytime of pain out of this
>>77433202
>Implying you wouldnt read that
>>77433783
>He's not alright with how they're doing things, hence the Robin school
Unless the OG Robin stick around as mentors for at least a year, that idea is retarded as fuck. Are you honestly suggesting a bunch of teenage kids will be ready to fight the Penguin with just a few nights of training?
What will Dick do one of those kids gets killed or gets someone else killed?
Plus, we know that both the WAR kids will be fine by the end of the series and somehow will be able to beat the fucking Talons by themselves.
>>77433827
>He can't stop the Robin movement, but he can at least control them to prevent them from doing stupid shit.
He can simply suit off as Batman and tell those stupid fuckers to knock it off.
>>77433880
Well we know one of them is already dead and the preview shows another one getting two people killed, so we don't need to worry about that.
I think two guys on /co/ could take the Penguin after two nights of training
The idea is dumb but it's an event, and events are the natural habitat of dumb ideas
When people take Batman seriously we end up with threads like these
Robin is a dumb concept in itself
Don't take it seriously
>>77434005
I don't think anyone is taking it seriously m8
>>77433668
Are you retarded? The entire idea is to train them so they don't do shit like that.
What's Dick gonna say, no? Half those kids won't give a shit what he'll say and they'll keep doing it, getting themselves and others killed.
Either way there will be bodies, but this minimzes it.
>>77434042
He could break their legs.
>>77433748
>>77433771
But who is Dick to say that the kids shouldn't? Will they be perfect crime fighters on day one? No, of course not, but if he's offering them training, then a will to make Gotham a better place shouldn't be stamped out when its apparently so fucking rare.
>>77434176
Cities shouldn't have to use mass vigilantism to improve them.
>>77434230
Gotham isn't an average city, even by DCU standards.
>>77434176
>>77434042
The kids got mixed on these just because Alfred was retarded and make them believe Batman wanted them there. Just have Dick use the Batman suit to tell them off.
And really, isn't like the WAR kids have done something useful or positive for the city so far.
Unless you think allowing a bombing is a good
thing.
>>77434289
Other than Bloom bullshit, Gotham hasn't been better in years
>>77433151
I really appreciate that last panel for RObin War preview; it's a clever twist on the classic Bruce scene.
>>77434308
>Just have Dick use the Batman suit to tell them off.
That wouldn't change anything, except a couple who are too afraid. It's already started and its not gonna stop when one man tells them to stop, that's not how social movements work.
>>77433151
I was excited for Robin War, but now it's started to look like the whole thing will be an advertisement for We Are Robin, which has always just been kind of mediocre despite what DC tries to push.
>>77434341
What social movement?
The book itself hasn't shown a true social movement. The only kid really comprosmised with the ideal is Duke. All the others are just being dragged along for their fantasies.
>>77434368
Looking at the crowd the idea of Duke being the only one with an ideal is insane. Sure there'll be some who are just having fun but they'll get weeded out quickly by intense training.
Also I guess a better term to use would be general crowd mentality be it a mob, a social movements, whatever. Either way one man can't bring down all of it. Hell that's what Bruce tries to do with crime all the time but crime still exists.
>>77434407
Are you seriously comparing crime with a bunch of idiotic kids playing vigilantes?
The more I read about Robin War, the more it sounds like they're just ripping of the ending of TDKR, but with Robin instead of Batman.
>>77434434
I'm comparing the fact that just because figures of authority tell you not to do something, it doesn't mean your not going to do it. Whether its crime or vigilantism(AKA a crime)
What is gonna happen when Bruce gets back
This is gonna turn into a scorched earth for the family
>>77433151
Why are they shitty videos
>>77434555
Guaranteed. I'm betting he will scare the shit out of these kids or banish them from Gotham. Stupid little shits have no business doing what they are doing and are gonna get killed.
>>77434701
>I'm betting he will scare the shit out of these kids
That would be hilarious, I hope this happens.
>More underage teenage girls to follow Dick around
>>77434555
They're not scared of the Batman that's a corporate-fascist robot. Unless Batman is gonna swallow that hypocrisy and brutally assault a bunch of teenagers for daring to try and help their city in the only way that gets results, it's not gonna be that easy.
>>77434811
>t scared of the Batman that's a corporate-fascist robot
That robot was more than enough for everyone to chicken out
