All over Gotham City, teenagers came together with the common purpose of protecting their home. They were vigilantes. They were heroes. They were Robin. But now being a Robin means being a criminal. Robin colors are illegal, and the Robins have gone back underground. Some of them —like Duke Thomas, on a quest to find his parents—have other things on their mind. Some of them are exploring new, more dangerous ways to become vigilantes. When the Jokers strike, will the Robins fly once more? Collecting : We Are Robin Get A Copy. Paperback , pages.

After the outcome of Robin War, the Robins have hung up their suits. As they try and return to their normal lives, a gang devoted to the Joker rises. Will some of our Robins come out of retirement to deal with this new threat? I found the story kind of boring with very little of merit actually occurring. Jorge Corona's art is NOT very good. Glad to see this book end. Dec 16, Lashaan Balasingam Bookidote rated it liked it Shelves: read-in , dc-comics , comic-books , robin. This little event takes place after the "huge" Robin War. There is no more "we" in each of the new Robins and they each are doing their own things. Whether its finding their lost parents or pursuing a crime-fighting life that they strongly believe in, the story mainly focuses on their individual motives in life and their struggle to believe in the Robin cause that was strongly shook by the Robin law. Coincidentally, this is also the moment when a certain juvenile individual with a facial defect This little event takes place after the "huge" Robin War. Coincidentally, this is also the moment when a certain juvenile individual with a facial defect exits juvie and quickly flips his life upside down. This is the beginning of Smiley and the rise of a bunch of Joker wannabes. I mean, Joker himself is always easily able to find himself a bunch of goons to dress up as him and perpetrate evil around Gotham, so seeing a teenager take the lead wasn't much of a game-changer. Smiley's plans are quite erratic what else are we to expect of a teenager, right? This gave Lee Bermejo the opportunity to tackle the issues about guns and also change the whole "I" back into "We". The final issue was a nice wrap-up for the whole series not just this volume. The connection and the little wink wink to The Nest at the end were nice. I have to say that this series really had nice ideas, but the execution could've been so much better. The artwork isn't that revolutionary, but I guess it still remains part of the identity of the series. May 30, Christy rated it really liked it. Every day, some things end The Robins are all over the place, splintered after the Robin War, and this issue is a glimpse into how everyone is fairing after disbanding. Duke, Izzy, Riko shout out to those of you who remember her from Gotham Academy; hopefully we see her back some day! Inste Every day, some things end Instead, Affluenza-affected, makeup-wearing Joker-fanboy villain, Smiley, is wreaking havoc on Gotham. Will the Robins be able to turn that frown upside down and put a stop to Smiley and his band of clowns literal clowns or will Gotham be once again warned to stay indoors after dark? Jan 17, Dan rated it it was ok. Aug 14, Jess rated it liked it. Pretty good. Jun 02, Adam Fisher rated it liked it. They still keep in touch, but they don't patrol or "save the day". He then paints his face to match his idol, the Joker, and recruits a gang to help him terrorize a high school. They claim "We Are Jokers". The Robins get back together to save the school from the Jokers, and they realiz 3. The Robins get back together to save the school from the Jokers, and they realize they need each other more than just for fighting crime, but also as friends. In fact, when one of their group takes it upon himself to rob Wayne Manor with a crew of criminals, the Robins re-suit up and stop them, helping their friend escape it all. This title was very short overall, but provided a youthful and modern expression of "Robin". I know that Duke Thomas will be be continuing his adventures in the post-Rebirth main Batman title, so I am anxious to see what his next step is. Volume recommend. Series with the Robin War crossover in it recommended, especially if you want a new perspective on what it means to be "Robin". May 11, Wing Kee rated it did not like it. I just want this to end. World: The art is fine, nothing special. World building is spotty and illogical just like the entire premise of this series. Story: The story is choppy and the villain this arc was just unappealing, it was paced a bit better than the previous arc but not by much. The separate stories for each character was better but as I said in the last arc, they are all racial stereotypes which annoyed. This series ends with this arc and I'm so happy. This is garbage. Characters: Th I just want this to end. Characters: There is more effort to give motivation for the characters here. But choppy writing still hinders these characters and also not a lot of appeal at all. This series is ended yeah!!!! Onward to the next book! Jan 18, Ronald rated it it was ok Shelves: comics. I loved the story in the first volume of We Are Robin. But between Vol 1 and here there was an epic world changing monstrous crossover event which besides sucking to high heaven and being generally a terrible idea and story it ruined the We Are Robin comic. This volume is the team recovering from something that did not even happen in their own comic book. It was stupid and angsty and lame. I mean the best thi I loved the story in the first volume of We Are Robin. I mean the best thing the creative team can come up with is another Joker story? An hour passes and no one has been sent in to collect Duke and when he turns the door handle he finds it unlocked and that the police station was in-fact just one room inside a warehouse. Also inside the warehouse is a motorbike a leather jacket embroidered with the "R" insignia of Robin and a phone telling him to meet up with the Robins nearby. The Robins are all sat upon a rooftop when Duke arrives; he briefs them on the situation with the bombs and they all compare information regarding the man who is running things and who recruited them all. The first bomb target is the Gotham Hall of Records, across the street from them. The Nest's video surveillance follows the underground army's preacher, explaining that he is a puppet of a much larger evil. Sign In Don't have an account? Start a Wiki.

  • Why No Wonder Woman?
    Why No Wonder Woman? A REPORT ON THE HISTORY OF WONDER WOMAN AND A CALL TO ACTION!! Created for Wonder Woman Fans Everywhere Introduction by Jacki Zehner with Report Written by Laura Moore April 15th, 2013 Wonder Woman - p. 2 April 15th, 2013 AN INTRODUCTION AND FRAMING “The destiny of the world is determined less by battles that are lost and won than by the stories it loves and believes in” – Harold Goddard. I believe in the story of Wonder Woman. I always have. Not the literal baby being made from clay story, but the metaphorical one. I believe in a story where a woman is the hero and not the victim. I believe in a story where a woman is strong and not weak. Where a woman can fall in love with a man, but she doesnʼt need a man. Where a woman can stand on her own two feet. And above all else, I believe in a story where a woman has superpowers that she uses to help others, and yes, I believe that a woman can help save the world. “Wonder Woman was created as a distinctly feminist role model whose mission was to bring the Amazon ideals of love, peace, and sexual equality to ʻa world torn by the hatred of men.ʼ”1 While the story of Wonder Woman began back in 1941, I did not discover her until much later, and my introduction didnʼt come at the hands of comic books. Instead, when I was a little girl I used to watch the television show starring Lynda Carter, and the animated television series, Super Friends.

STATIC, YET FLUCTUATING: THE EVOLUTION OF BATMAN AND HIS AUDIENCES by PERRY DUPRE DANTZLER Under the Direction of H. Calvin Thomas ABSTRACT The Batman media franchise (comics, movies, novels, television, and cartoons) is unique because no other form of written or visual texts has as many artists, audiences, and forms of expression. Understanding the various artists and audiences and what Batman means to them is to understand changing trends and thinking in American culture. The character of Batman has developed into a symbol with relevant characteristics that develop and evolve with each new story and new author. The Batman canon has become so large and contains so many different audiences that it has become a franchise that can morph to fit any group of viewers/readers. Our understanding of Batman and the many readings of him gives us insight into ourselves as a culture in our particular place in history.

  • School Board: Are You Batman's Robin -‐Or-‐ Superman's Kryptonite?
    School Board: Are You Batman’s Robin -or- Superman’s Kryptonite? What if you could raise student achievement in your school district by nearly 10 percentile points (basically, moving average achievement from the 50th percentile to the 60th percentile)? That’s the impact of a highly effective Superintendent according to the research of Marzano and Waters in a meta-analysis of 27 research studies concerning superintendent effectiveness in 2, 714 school districts.1 An essential component in making that type of leap forward is alignment between the School Board and the Superintendent. The Key Work of School Boards, published by the National School Boards Association, is based on the same conclusion that student achievement increases “when the Board and Superintendent work together in a systematic way.”2 The Board’s Impact School Boards are charged with governance responsibility for their school districts, and, ultimately, increasing student achievement and decreasing achievement gaps. A Superintendent is hired as the district’s chief executive officer, and he/she is expected to put the Board’s vision into action. It therefore comes as no surprise that the Board’s practices have a significant impact on the effectiveness of the Superintendent. The Board’s leadership steers the district, and every employee’s effectiveness is impacted by the Board’s practices. Help or Hindrance? We know that organizations function more effectively when everyone is on the same page and working together to reach a mutually agreed upon destination. We call that a common vision, and we expect the Superintendent to use his/her “super” powers to get us there.
