Another Robin is dead, and here’s what they’re saying
Well, the task of being Batman's sidekick has claimed another life. Young Damian Wayne, the fruit of Batman's own loins, with killed in a battle with his clone brother in Batman, Incorporated #8. And not in a quick one panel zap, the way we used to do comic book deaths, but in a multi panel pummeling. Since Damian was a little brat for most of his 10 years, some people weren't that sad. 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.
