Go toe to toe with others who have worn that mantle.IMG_00301-600x333

And mocked for his choice.

And then lots of stuff about wheels, colours, doing your own thing, being someone else, not a Robin.

Well, in today's All-Star Batman #8 in the main strip by Scott Snyder, Giuseppe Camuncoli, Mark Morales and Dean White, he's still going by his real name. Which one would think should be a no-no in the Batverse right now.

And in the back-up by Scott Snyder and Francesco Francavilla, he's mocked for it. "Lark" is now shade, thrown by Isabella Ortiz of the We Are Robins crew.

However it looks like there is a name out there.

Just neither Duke – or us – are getting it yet.

All-Star Batman #8 is published today from DC Comics.
