Why? Because it's DC. Y'know "we make you like our heroes, then we get rid of 'em" DC.

This doesn't sound like a particularly good premise -So Robin's a slow leaner and lives under the shadow of Tim Drake. I expect sooner or later he'll save Batman's life after which the unfavourable comparisson's to past Robins will end.
It would be better and much more original if he continued being a total fuck up

I'm going to say that while this is bullshit, it won't last long.
Remember, DC Did this same thing 10 years ago...
Bats was replaced with Azrael, Supes with 4 different people, Wonder Woman was replaced with Artemis, Ollie Queen was replaced by Connor Hawke, Wally West was slated to die...
Now, who are all those characters?
Tim Drake will be back. This is a story-arc.

You're probably right. I just hope it's not a "Kyle Rayner" thing.

You're right, that would be really cool. Totally against the grain. I love books and movies where the protagonist is a stumbling buffoon.
And that's terrible.

Hm, interesting.
Considering Geoff Johns' current direction with Teen Titans, I wouldn't be surprised if Tim takes on a new moniker like Dick did during Wolfman and Perez's NTT run.
I wouldn't have a problem with that at all.

Now thta would be cool. I think DC should clone Geoff and have him write all the mainstream titles.

I'm also betting on this whole Robin thing being nothing more than a short -lived, shock-value story, especially since DC is giving Wizard the preview.

I couldn't agree more. The storyline's premise is reminiscent of Knightfall.

Actually Tim's running off with his step-mom to live a life of sin... "Screw you Bats! I got me some real stuff now!" is Tim's exiting line.

Could the new Robin be the new Supergirl?!
It would make sense... Kryptonian origin, trained by the Amazons (as seen in the new Superman/Bat-Man solicitation), and fights crime in Gotham.
