It’s all lead up until this moment where Tim Drake decides what kind of a hero, and what kind of a man, he wants to be. He’s taken on Ra’s al Ghul and the League of Assassins, an evil Internet, Catman, and even had time for a little romance, but nothing has prepared him for what happens next. Red Robin comes face-to-face with Captain Boomerang, the man who murdered his father.
In a logical manner Tim has left breadcrumbs for Captain Boomerang to follow, with each selfish decision further closing the noose around his neck and putting him in harm’s way. Red Robin actually carefully orchestrated Boomerang’s death at the hands of Mr. Freeze, only to have second thoughts at the last minute, deciding he needs to do the job himself.
In the end Red Robin can neither allow Mr. Freeze or himself to kill Captain Boomerang. He skates a thin line but still comes out the hero. The issue ends with short conversations with Dick Grayson and Batman receptively, which showcase how closely each was watching Tim’s methods.
