That Alan Davis page is strong. The "Chum" panel is amazing. Batman is at once powerful and paternal.

Gotta confess I broke down with the news of the Robin demise and
checked out several comics featuring Damian. There's a bunch drawn
by one Chris Burnham that really caught my eye!

The Damian Wayne Robin is a bit too "Battle of the Planets" for my taste. Not a big fan of an expressive mask either.... For me, George Perez did the meanest (and by mean, i mean best) Robin!!!

Looking at these latter day Robins, I am reminded of a point which seems to completely elude current artists: superheroes are supposed to be "quick change artists". They are supposed to be able to shed their civilian identity in a matter of seconds and race into action. I look at some of these guys (like the Damian Wayne version) and think of how long it took to lace up my skates for hockey in school! And that was just the skates!Gotta be a lot easier to be a bad guy these days. To paraphrase Mark Twain, "Evil can rob a bank while Good is getting its shoes on!"

The tale of Dick Grayson coming of age in the pages of the Teen Titans left quite a mark on me!
His need to step out of Batman´s shadow and transition to the Nightwing identity,as well as his leadership skills added up to make Robin a very well-rounded character!

I thought there was also some character decay on Batman's part necessary for Wolfman/Perez to make Robin a "well-rounded character" (though I thought he was just swell prior to 1969). The one that casts the longest shadow is that Batman is a bit of an obsessive jerk and lacks true leadership skills (which Dick, however, possesses).
