Batman #145 - "Dark Prisons" (2024)

I think people forget that in addition to all the shit that Dick goes through in the YJ animated show, like losing Wally, countless betrayals/double agent-y stuff, losing even more teammates, watching Babs get paralysed, etc, Dick also lost Jason in that universe.

And we don't really get to see much of it, we get a glimpse of it only when Dick himself tells Tim "Just don't die", and later when Kaldur says "Now Jason is dead".

But Dick goes through that too. Despite all the suffering he was put through ever since S1 basically (Haly's, failsafe, "I don't want to be the Batman", ...), we collectively need to remember that he lost Jason too, there.

Not to mention, the potential that the next season has (they must make it.) with the Sanctuary.

If Tim does have an alternate personality programmed into him, we know its trigger phrase can't be Zur-En-Arrh because he's heard or said that phrase like half-a-dozen times since Zdarsky's run started and hasn't been activated yet.

Zur-En-Arrh is Bruce's trigger phrase because it's drawn from his 8-year-old self mishearing or misremembering his father's last words, "...the sad thing is, they'd probably throw someone like Zorro in Arkham." (This is an obvious stretch -- the real reason is because he's named for and based on a one-off alien character from the Silver Age, "Tlano, the Batman of Zur-En-Arrh," but it does play interestingly with the way Zdarsky's been portraying ZEA as a unstable, entirely masked personality that Bruce 'locks away' inside of him because his 'purity' is too extreme -- his very own metaphorical "Zorro in Arkham.")

So it's possible that Tim's trigger is drawn from something similar, particularly because we know he's the only Robin who for sure heard his own father's last words -- Dick's parents were a distance away from him when they fell, and Jason's dad died well out of his sight, but Tim hearing Jack's last moments over the phone and not being able to do anything to stop it is a pretty big part of his trauma.

So maybe Tim's trigger phrase is similar mix of sounds drawn from Jack's last words to him -- "What you do is worth it. Tell Bruce to take care of you." (Ka-Uf-Oo?)

Or maybe, since Zur-En-Arrh presumably did the conditioning, they drew the trigger phrase from his mythos instead and it's something like "Tlano" or "Bat-Radia."

And that also raises the question of, what would a "Zur-En-Arrh" Robin even be? Zur-En-Arrh is repeatedly described as "Batman without Bruce," which would presumably make his equivalent "Robin without Tim." But like... what does that mean?

I don't have any answers to that question, just a whole bunch of pieces that might be clues but I have no idea what they're adding up to. It's just very interesting to think about and I want to see where they're going with this.

DC's Epic Event: Absolute Power - A Battle of Heroes and Villains!

DC Comics has pulled back the curtain to reveal the full details of their upcoming summer event, "Absolute Power." This monumental storyline will see Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, and a myriad of other heroes facing off against a formidable "Trinity of Evil" led by the cunning Amanda Waller. With far-reaching implications for the entire DC Universe, "Absolute Power" is poised to be an event of epic proportions.

As previously teased, "Absolute Power" will unite a trio of villains - Amanda Waller, Braniac, and Failsafe - each with their own nefarious agendas aimed at eliminating the world's metahumans. These characters have been making significant power moves in various ongoing comics, and now their convergence is set to unleash chaos on an unprecedented scale.

"Absolute Power" is not just big, it's massive, spanning across eight separate titles and a total of 15 issues. The event kicks off with the "Absolute Power 2024 FCBD Special Edition" on May 4th, followed by the prelude "Absolute Power Ground Zero" on June 25th, and culminating in the main event series starting on July 3rd.

The "Absolute Power 2024 FCBD Special Edition" will feature an original story by Mark Waid and Mikel Janín, providing readers with a glimpse into the events leading up to the main storyline. It will also include a preview of "Absolute Power #1," setting the stage for the epic conflict to come.

"Absolute Power Ground Zero" serves as a prelude to the event, bridging recent events in Batman, Superman, Action Comics, and Suicide Squad Dream Team. This oversized one-shot will unveil Amanda Waller's grand plan and the full extent of her ambitions.

The main event kicks off with "Absolute Power #1," a four-part limited series written by Mark Waid and illustrated by Dan Mora. As chaos ensues and heroes face off against overwhelming odds, Batman leads a resistance movement against Amanda Waller's insidious schemes.

Additionally, the event will feature tie-in titles such as "Absolute Power Task Force VII," which explores the events from the villains' perspective, and "Absolute Power Origins," delving into the history of Amanda Waller.

Fans can also expect tie-in issues in their favorite series, including Batman, Wonder Woman, and Superman, as these iconic heroes grapple with the threat posed by the Trinity of Evil.

With stunning artwork and a star-studded creative team, "Absolute Power" promises to be a game-changer for the DC Universe. Don't miss out on this monumental event, hitting comic shops starting May 4th. For more information and updates, visit DC Comics' official website.

I want Bungie to reveal that Failsafe knew about Neomuna this whole time but never said so because nobody bothered to ask them.
