Could there be a league of current, ex- and fill-in Robins where they all fight crime together? Would villains take a group of sidekicks seriously?

Would you read a series with that premise?

"Round Robin" came to mind as one possible name for the team. What would you call them?

One of the issues in that story was the very first comic in English I bought. I didn't understand it, so I figured I needed to work harder at learning the language. Years later, I read it again. I still didn't understand it. Then I realized it was because it was horrible.

Just Damian is fully dead. Dick is only "dead".

I think it's a good idea. Maybe if it were a mini-series it would be good - "The League of Sidekicks" event, in which the heroes are somehow put out of action and the sidekicks have to step up and save them or something?

Thought this was interesting. I looked up what a group of robins is called and there is yet no official term. So the British Trust for Ornithology has started a search for one. 'Round' is the most popular suggestion.

I thought birds of a feather flock together.

It looks like Spidey's web-shooter misfired since he's not depressing the palm trigger. It also looks like the Punisher is unsure of what a gun is and how to use it.

I wonder if the art correction department put those things in. If so, they forgot to add the webbing in his right fist.

Thank you for pointing out what a horrible cover that is. Inexcusable, too, since that was Bagley's first story arc on ASM, if I remember correctly It's not like he would be too slow to knock out something 1000 times better.

"Round Robin" sounds like an anthology title where different Robins take turns in the spotlight. Sounds like it could be an interesting idea. Makes you almost wonder why DC hasn't at least tried it out as a giant-sized one shot or something.
