The Colony intercepts a message from Batman, telling his team that Red Robin is engaged in a dangerous fight at Old Wayne Tower. Realizing the military is hot on their trail, Colonel Kane tells his team to activate the Black Flight Protocol. His daughter Batwoman knows this is unacceptable and punches him through the side of their ship. Meanwhile, Tim Drake - The Red Robin, is on the verge of suicide and prepares to take the brunt of the Kane's megaweapon to save Gotham. He calls his team one by one to give his goodbyes...
Batman and Batwoman try to reach him but on the way, the bullets and lasers tear through Red Robin, killing him. As they all try to come to grips with what has just happened. Batman tells Batwoman to bring Kane to the Belfry and put him in one of the holding cells so he can deal with him personally. Meanwhile Batman meats up with Spoiler to console her, whom hands him Tim Drake's acceptance letter to Ivy University, and they're left to silently embrace in tears.
The issue finishes with a flash, and Tim Drake surprisingly looks up asking where he is. A hooded figure explains to him he was putting too many threads together and they had to take him off the field. He's imprisoned in a mirrored corridor and can only hope his friends will rescue him.
Not a bad issue, but how many Robin's can die? At this point, I'd probably be a little leery to put on the Boy Wonder's costume. I'd give this one a 9/10.
