how must the Dick -> Jason Robin switch have looked to the Gotham Rogues. it's not as if they did a formal 'attention, Robin has quit his job and will now be operating as Nightwing' announcement. like after a certain point it must have become like a Known Thing that periodically Batman gets new sidekicks. but that first changeover must have messed w people's heads right??
like. you are a B-list Gotham Rogue. You haven't seen Robin in months. You've asked around and no-one else in the circles you move in has seen him either. You're starting to get worried but you aren't sure if you have the kind of relationship with the Batman where it would be appropriate to ask after his sidekick's wellbeing. Every time he shows up Robin-less you get progressively more stressed out.
you are a B-list Gotham Rogue. Batman has Robin again but he is very clearly a different, significantly younger boy. This suggests that the OG Robin being gone is a permanent state of affairs. You're starting to fear the worst. You're like 85% sure Robin died and Batman quietly replaced him with a different child in the same costume. You've been asking around to see if someone killed him but no-one will admit to knowing anything. You really want to ask but you don't feel comfortable asking the Batman if his sidekick got murdered, especially not with the new kid right there.
you are a B-list Gotham Rogue and you're fighting Nightwing for the first time, he's usually over in Bludhaven so you haven't crossed paths with him before. And wow this guy's voice sounds really familiar but you can't place it - wait Robin?? Oh my god Original Flavour Robin is that you?? Hey buddy how've you been?? Love the new costume! We're so relieved we all thought you'd died!! :D Hey ow-
*B-List Rogue has been apprehended by the Batman and is sitting around waiting for the police to show up*
B-List Rogue: hey you know you could have told us the og Robin was Nightwing now
Batman: why the hell would I do that
Batman: wait how do you know that?
B-Lister: I've met you guys a bunch of times? I know what his voice sounds like and what most of his face looks like? so I recognised him?
Batman:
Batman: ok but why would we tell you? do you not understand how the whole masked vigilante with secret identity thing works?
B-Lister: you son of a bitch I thought he was dead?? he straight up disappeared and I thought he'd died or something?
Batman: what the hell do you care
B-Lister: ..................I rob banks and do museum heists and you know all my methods are non-lethal, so yeah I care??
B-Lister: I don't want your kid sidekick dead??
Batman: alright but I don't understand why you assumed he was dead just because he stopped being Robin.
B-Lister:
B-Lister: he disappeared for months and then you partnered up with a similar looking kid in the same costume, do you have any idea how creepy this whole situation looks from the outside??
Jason, who's been standing off to the side throughout this entire interaction: I'm getting kind of uncomfortable
B-Lister: ...yeah that's fair I'll shut up
B-Lister:
Jason:
Batman:
B-Lister: so did you end things or did he end things or what
After this Bruce realizes he should make some kind of statement so that people don't think he got Robin killed, so the next time there happens to be a news camera around he goes up to it like
Batman: I would just like everyone to know, the original Robin is alive, he, uh, moved to a farm, up state...
Everyone in Gotham: Holy shit Original Robin is so dead...
[For those comments who discovered that Caine fits next to Kinger: YES you're right! His only place was there at the edge, left out. Because Kinger is too kind to push him away.]
