I love this Robin! So good for the points!

[thugit]

Very good version of the new Boy Wonder. Stats and powers are perfect, but he should have at least a 4 range--he's used batarangs since he first appeared as Robin.

[MooKow]

That quake at the beginning is so much fun! You might end up sacrificing him for it, but to have him jump in and wham! One of my favorite Robins!

This is one of the few really great figures to come from the underwhelming BATB set. He is extremely efficient for his cost as a tie up threat who provides your team with the Bat Ally TA. He has become my go-to guy for tie up, especially on WC teams, or when I don't have the points to spend on the HoT Venom for tie up.

One of the deadlier figures in the set. He can do all sorts of nasty things for the points.

Found the answer to my question about the Leverage power in the forums. Note to self: use search function more often...

[Yondu77]

Tie them up and quake them into a wall or off elevated terrain. Hard to k.o. and who cares if he does for the points. He will dish out a lot of damage before he goes down.

I dare you to try and give me one good reason to not play this figure. you can't, so don't even try. He is an absolute beast and can easily handle twice his points worth of work. His only weakness is that I love him too much. <3 <3 <3

A superb character. He absolutely blows away the other 'Martial Artists' from this set. Robin here is the epitome of rock-solid efficiency, with all his combat values having potential going off the charts for his point cost. Incredibly playable, and a great source of Batman Ally TA to Wildcards. He definitely belongs in the top 10 characters from this set.

This little guy here won me the Brave and the Bold release tournament, granting me the prize of--BLACK LANTERN OBJECT! In every round he was outstanding, and KO'd nearly triple his points consistently and weakening others. But it is the final round which made him my go to Boy-Wonder for Batman. My team was Hawkman and Atom, Wonder Woman, Diana Prince, him, and some filler. My opponent had Mademoiselle Marie, some checkmate pieces, Holiday Killer, and Metallo. The first turn or 2 I was trying to avoid Metallo--since his move and attack hitting me for 7(with an object) wasn't on my To-Do list, trying to take out his ranged pieces first. Robin L/C over to Metallo to tie him up, his sacrifice would NOT be in vein, but Metallo's Poison was inevitably going to kill him. Metallo 2 turns in a row tried to hit him, but couldn't roll an 8. Robin chipping away little by little at Metallo. After the failed attempts to KO Robin, he began to try to break away--failing. For the entire length of Robin's dial, Metallo was stuck next to him, failing his break away and his attack rolls. Wonder Woman, and Hawkman and Atom emerged victorious in their assault, but at great cost to their life. Diana Prince manage to heal them enough to be ready for a fight with Metallo. Robin eventually died, as sad as it was he did his job, and Metallo went after WW and HM&A. Thanks to Robin keeping Metallo at bay the entire game, and hurting him enough to make it easier to take him out, earned his spot at #2, second only to the B-man himself.

Wow, what's not to love here? Robin is BUILT for jumping right into a gang of losers and Quaking them all the next turn, pushing himself onto big damage to fight whomever is still around. The endless Combat Reflexes, seemingly unyielding attack values and flashes of CCE let him menace guys outside his weight class. That last click is especially annoying to an enemy brick - he can chip away at them with 11 attack while being hard to put down.
The Leverage power is one that I've been dying to see and they finally made, which lets you reposition an opponent because of their own strength (sorry, Maneuver, but you're just too unrealistic on pieces where you don't belong).

I admit I like Damien as Robin. Both the character and the figure. The figure is a nice tie-up piece, solidly mobile at a great cost. His free Maneuver is nice also, especially going after those more average stated Batman Allies. Range would have been nice but I think Lunge is a good substitute. Top click is probably his best due to damage potential. End dial can be frustrating unless playing against someone with damage reducers. A fairly straight forward point and click style piece for every level of player to use. He will be even more enjoyable once DC75 Batman arrives. Not a fan of the sculpt - too little, so I repainted an Icons Robin (and added the hoodie), which I like.

[Mattw1982]

Played him the other day with the Batman/Catwoman duo, DC 75th Batman, and Question. Everyone focused on Batman/Catwoman, but the Dick Grayson Batman allowed Damien to sneak in for Quakes and Close Combat Expert attacks. Awesome secondary attacker.

[Kite-Man]

Insane.
I saw a game where he killed everybody. Everybody.
Nobody could hit him.

[Owlman166]

Best Robin so far, IMHO. Crisis and AA Robin's are excellent, but the fact that this Robin's only 43 points, and can dish out massive damage outside his weight class makes him more cost effective. He's a little whirlwind of destruction that will shred you if you're not on your guard...
