"Remember everything your teachers gave you. Don't be any of them. Be all of them."

Red Robin #8 ****

Bruce Wayne is trapped in time, what's a former Boy Wonder to do? Deal a crippling blow to the League of Assassins and take on the Council of Spiders. Tim basically kicks ass the entire issue. I haven't particularly enjoyed the direction that this series has been going, but this conclusion was fabulous. This whole mini series has been about him diving head first into the League of Assassins and taking them apart from the inside, and he does just that. Then, by being attached to the League he is targeted by the Council of Spiders (did he make some enemies or what), and how does he respond to that? That's right, he gives them a beating they didn't even think was possible. It's like Ra's mentions, Tim is like what would occur if Bruce and Dick had a child, not adopted a child, had one. Oh, and even more awesome, he's coming back to Gotham.
