Robin III Part 41: War of the Gods #4 (December, 1991)


Tim plays a part in saving the world…albeit a small part.

I have this issue.

Tim’s in Gotham with Bruce as they witness New Olympus approach. He’s awestruck at the sight, but Bruce mentions that he’s seen “oblivion peeping over the horizon” too many times.

As other teams of heroes attack her on several fronts, Circe launches her army of harpies and bestiamorphs on Earth…starting in Gotham. Tim fights back, alongside Batman, Black Lightning, Katana and Looker. He catches one creature in a Bat-line – only to be carried away. Fortunately, Bruce is there to knock it out of the sky.

Notes of Interest:
1) This is Part 25 (and the finale) of the War of Gods storyline.

WTF? Moment: After being carried away by a harpy in Batman #470, you’d think Tim would have learned to keep his feet on the ground…

WTF? Moment #2: I hope somebody told Tim and the others when the fight was over…or that Wonder Woman wasn’t dead. Sure – the disappearance of New Olympus from the sky (along with the harpies) would have been a sign that they won, but I didn’t see anyone announce Diana’s resurrection over the comlink to the Gotham crew. Whoops.
