    Red Robin #17: You're The Catwoman To My Red Robin

    No Caption Provided
    How does Bruce's return impact Red Robin's hit list and career? A whole lot! As Red Robin is finally completing his own personal 'check list' Tim Drake will be finding out who he wants to fight with, what area he wants to live in, and other items will be checked off of his list too. That's not all. As Tim Drake is one of the founders of Batman INC, he will help Bruce find new recruits for this team that is going all over the world fighting crime! As Tim Drake's plans are all approved by Bruce, Tim's love life also gets a twist as he dates bad girl, undercover cop, and gang leader Lynx. So with all of this interesting news, join the Red Robin team Fabian Nicieza, Marcus To, and Ray McCarthy as they take Tim Drake to even greater heights!  
     

    The Good

    Cassandra Cain is back in action! As that is already a big spoiler, Red Robin #17 is only the tip of the iceberg in Batman INC. As Tim's life is falling into place just the way he wanted things will get exceedingly great for Tim. It's good to have the Red Robin team from issue 13 back and ready for more action. Fabian Nicieza (as always) delivers an interesting and thought-creating story for Red Robin. Marcus To and Ray McCarthy always have the best artwork in every issue of Red Robin. From the previous issues that they've worked on I can see an huge difference from the past issue, to this issue. Fabian incorporates a father-and-son relationship with Bruce and Tim, now that Tim isn't alone any more Bruce will act more as a father to Tim throughout more of Red Robin's comics. The relationship between Lynx and Tim Drake is outstanding! I didn't see this coming. I figured Tim was going to break her out of Jail, but the new girlfriend of Tim Drake will be the best part in eventual issues.  
     

    The Bad

    Cassandra Cain's appearance was minor and she didn't have a big speaking role in this issue. So Cassandra Cain fans will be displeased if they like this character a lot. 
     

    The Verdict

     Red Robin's got a new mission and his check list is being completed. Red Robin's writing and art team is still delivering the best stories and artwork ever! And for what Tim's going to be doing next you are not going to want to pass this series by! Overall this is a 5 out of 5.

      This is it. This is the moment many have been waiting for. The return of a certain Bat-character that has been missing from the pages of comic books for too long. Just a note, if you're not already aware who this character is and haven't heard, there will be a spoiler mentioned.  The Good Cassandra Cain is back. You might recall a few issues back when Tim first showed his list of people he was keeping tabs on. Cassandra Cain was listed as being somewhere in Hong Kong. As you begin reading the fi...

      Red Robin #17 - The Hit List, Epilogue: Back to Front by duo_forbidden on November 10, 2010

      After meeting up with an (long overdue) ally in Hong Kong, Tim contiunes to search for clues on if the new Lynx says who she really is. Pros: It was wonderful to finally see Cassandra Cain again after so long. The hints have been there in Red Robin and recently Bruce Wayne: The Road Home Batgirl. Despite Stephanie being the current Batgirl, Cass will always have a place to be Batgirl to me. Her taking back the suit makes me think that she will use it not as Batgirl, but as something else (as Tim...
