Yeah. Since they were going to save Robin they were all dressed in Robin costumes.

I can't help but feel that Damian would be a little annoyed by that, but maybe being dead for a while mellowed him out.

Oh I am sure he would be annoyed by that, but when isn't he a little annoyed? I do not think that he will be happy to hear about Dick either. They also did it to honor him since they were going to save the little bastard.

The world found out his secret identity so he's pretending to be dead for a while.

See, my take on that would have been "when rescuing a damned soul, balance must be kept, the scales must equal, blah blah blah, Take a Robin - Leave a Robin." and then Babs Girl Robin gets screwed over again.

It seems like the most DC thing they could do.

Then again, I think this comes as a surprise to no one, when you consider that the kid's grandfather is kind of known for coming back from the dead.

Of course not :v: . Same way nobody figured out Bruce was Batman after he revealed during Batman Inc that he had been "funding" Batman for years while Dick, Jason and Damien (the obvious Robins) stood beside him.

You mean Tim? At that time Jason was killing people and had no relationship with Bruce.

Hey Tim was in Return of the Joker so technically he isn't the most boring Robin, just more so than Dick or Damian.

Wait, I've not read much DC since New52 but didn't everything get retconned and the titles start from the beginning again? I thought the whole Damien

What? No Grant Morrisons run still happened and Damien was a major part of that. The relationship between Bruce and Damian was the focus in Batman and Robin since the beginning.

Batman was basically unchanged so that Grant Morrison could finish his story. Same with Geoff Johns and Green Lantern.

Everything was retconned out of continuity, apart from the stuff that was not. You are not permitted to know what is and is not canon until it is necessary. Hypertime is real.

I'm interested in reading the whole rescuing Damien arc. Is it just BaR, or the other Bat books, too?

Just BaR. The McGuffin that kicks it off/brings him back is from a arc of Batman/Superman, but it's not that necessary to understand the story.

Yup. Robin Rises Omega, B&R 33-37, Robin Rises Alpha.
It has a catch up on Damian's life and death in the first issue, but you might want to get up to speed on B&R anyway, cause it plonks you right in the middle of Batman, Frankenstein, Ra's and Glorious Godfrey fighting over some sarcophagi.

The Mega Man comic tends to play up how hard it is sometimes to be a sentient robot with feelings and a personality who is locked in their programming and has no free will whatsoever. Mega Man #43 goes into that a little.

I remember reading this issue (up until the last page) and thinking "I need my wife to read this." Then that final panel hit and it was like a punch to the gut.

The first omnibus is part of the current Humble Books Bundle, along with a crapton of other Image trades.

EDIT: Jesus Christ, what is it with BSS and me being unable to read this week? Still, that Humble Bundle gets you up to #18, if you stopped before there, I guess?
