I like the reasoning behind there having been so many Robins:
Robin is an intern program. An intensive one at that.

I've aquired a couple of the new 52, never been a DC man, but this is some good sheet.
So far they've all been a big ol case of miss.
And also a tad confusing as some titles seem to be continuing of sorts from the old universe (with slight differences) while other titles are completely different.
For example.
Justice League - Meta-humans are new and feared. The members don't know each other and are just starting to come together.
Justice League International - The JL has been around for ages, meta-humans are the norm.
Action Comics - Superman is new to the scene and not accepted.
Swamp Thing - Superman has been around a while and is accepted! (Swamp Thing clearly continues on from Brightest Day)
The fudge...? What is the continuity in this "new 52"?
Justice league is 5 years prior to current Superman and other books.
Action comics is another 5 years on top of that from memory.
its to still show the origins in other books but still have current events happening in others.
Some are in the "past" I'm guessing. Action Comics has a younger Supes in the t-shirt & jeans combo. Superman has an older Supes in the new outfit. I assume JL & JLI is a similar case.
I suspected as much, but ... why?
If this is suppose to be a new continuity I thought all the books would have run parallel. Unless the "origin" books will jump ahead a few years.
Probably that.
A new article on Kings Comics (in Sydney) on my favourite international comic book site: http://goodcomics.comicbookresources...-kings-comics/
I can understand them doing some books as "year one/flashbacks" to tell the new origins, but you'd hope that they would be clear about it. All it would need is a caption on page one "Five years ago..."Quote:

JL has the "Five Years Ago" caption, unsure on about the others
