After the flood of Bat-related news today, one name went unmentioned: Tim Drake (or Tim Wayne), the current Red Robin and former Robin. He could pop up in the future announcement of Teen Titans #1 (assuming there is one), but as whom?

Or maybe, he won't be around post-Flashpoint–maybe, he won't even make it that far. Grant Morrison's statement regarding the end of the current run of Batman Incorporated is rather ominous (emphasis mine):

Batman, Incorporated will continue through to Issue #10 and August’s shocking season finale that changes the Batman status quo yet again. The series will take a brief hiatus while I work on a major new project to be announced shortly. Batman, Incorporated returns next year with me, Chris Burnham and Batman: Leviathan, the epic 12 part conclusion to my 6 year Batman saga. Don’t miss it!

Are we seeing the last of Tim Drake this summer? I sincerely hope not, but I'm getting a feeling…

UPDATE: See here on the fate of Tim–not a pretty picture, I'm afraid.
