PLOT: Knowing that Tim Drake has not only replaced him as Robin, but is reportedly a better Robin than he had been, Jason breaks into Titans Tower to confront Tim. Wearing an altered version of his own Robin costume, Jason quickly immobilizes the other Titans and strikes Tim down in the Tower's Hall of Fallen Titans. Furious that no memorial statue was made for him (despite his short tenure as a Titan), Jason demands that Tim tell him if he is really as good as Jason has been told. Tim says "Yes" and passes out. As he leaves, Jason tears the 'R' emblem from Tim's chest. The experience has apparently left Jason with a grudging respect for his replacement as he states, "I'll admit. He's good". As he disappears into the night and back to Gotham, Jason is also left wondering if perhaps he would have been a better Robin and better person had he a life like Tim's and friends like the Titans.
