With the death of Robin in Batman Incorporated #8 this week, a number of fans have expressed reservations about the fairly violent way that a 10-year-old child was dispatched in the story.While it’s been a vocal minority, with most fans understanding that Damian as a character didn’t conform to the normal rules for pre-teens (among other things, he’s killed people), their concerns have been well-taken, and certainly the bloody, damaging nature of the fight that laid the Boy Wonder low did little to quiet them down.Still, it’s hardly the first time we’ve seen a kid killed in comics, and some of them have been handled with a lot less class, and/or featured kids a lot younger, than Damian Wayne’s.Like whose, you ask?
