But others were. The reactions have been many and varied. First and most poignantly the entire Batfamily is mourning on next month's somber covers, as revealed at Buzzfeed.
And there was much talk in the mediasphere as well, although without cool Greg Capullo covers. One thing's for sure...Damian wasn't the first Robin to die...and I'm guessing he won't be the last.
