Robin III Part 14: Detective Comics #616 (Late June, 1990)



Tim’s left in the dark on this case, only this time it's for his own good.

I have this issue.

At Wayne Manor, Alfred relays a message to Tim from Batman to pack his things and leave Gotham. The boy asks why Bruce ordered this, but Alfred doesn’t know. All he was told was to take Tim out of the city and not to stop until it felt safe.

Notes of Interest:
1) We don’t know where Tim and Alfred go, or even which direction they take.

2) What Tim doesn't know is that Batman has deduced that Joker is still alive, and that is why Bruce wants Tim out of Gotham.

WTF? Moment: Tim’s reduced to four panels this issue, but those panels make clear the urgency of the situation and Bruce’s intention to keep Tim safe.
