#grayson 5

What else could come after "In Arms" except Dick's more extreme equivalent? Grayson #5 is a pure odyssey of the heart. Stranded in the desert after a helicopter crash, Dick swears to save the baby girl that was just born on their flight all while saving himself and the people around him.

As Dick cares for her survival, he does not allow any doubts to enter his mind, not even when Midnighter tries to invite them. Helena shuts him up effectively for a while.

Dick and Helena work together even as Dick is forced to leave her behind, showing their dedication to preserving life, even though that was part of their conflict before.

The retelling of the comic story "Robin Dies At Dawn" commences as Dick is the last one standing and does not give up on carrying the baby to safety.

Through survival, Dick brings her to people who will love and cherish her. Not only saving her from a cruel heat death but also from Spyral's experimentations.

As the carrier of paragons heart, the baby has superpowers (likely Diana's), so yes, another child cared for, another contender for the army of sidekick's Dick should have. 😌

So I was reading Grayson #5 and thinking huh this is familiar.

And it hit me. Batman #156- Robin Dies at Dawn

But don’t worry-

It was all fake. Bruce was testing out something to simulate space travel. But he was in there for too long and his mind became I guess overwhelmed with his worry for Dick. 

Actually he went a little bit out of his mind. Kept thinking Dick was in danger. Not a great week for Dick. But interesting to see how they translated this story into the reboot. 

Also as a bonus-
