8 Times Robin Outsmarted Batman
6. Damian Wayne Schools Jim Gordon - Robin War
After Bruce Wayne had memory loss, got a new brain, and grew a big ol' beard in the aftermath of Endgame - no, not that Endgame - an agreement between The Powers Corporation and GCPD saw Jim Gordon take on the moniker of Batman. Well, kind of.
Gordon was indeed known as Batman, but his Batsuit was a mechanical contraption and he had no working relationship with the famed Bat Family of heroes. Instead, Jimbo was at the beck and call of Gotham's decision makers, taking orders like the good soldier he is.
Said orders, of course, would soon put him on a collision course with some of Batman's fellow heroes. And in Robin War, Gordon's Batman first came face to face with Damian Wayne's Robin.
In the absence of Batman - as in, the proper Batman - the residents of Gotham City began to rise up and declare themselves as "I am Robin". Councilwoman Noctua looked to shoot down this movement, and so outlawed anything to do with Robin. Not only were the police force instructed to arrest anybody sporting an R emblem or Robin colours, but so too was Jim Gordon.
This didn't work out too well for Gordon, for his Batman was taken to school and electrocuted upon confronting Damian Wayne in Robin War #1.
