I Was Having Feelings About Victor Hugo's Poem "Demain Ds L'aube" (Tomorrow At Dawn) About His Grief

I was having feelings about Victor Hugo's poem "Demain dès l'aube" (Tomorrow at Dawn) about his grief following the death of his daughter and Bruce losing Jason and I wanted to make a little comic with the text, but I'm scared to draw Bruce and can't seem to get the angel statue right, so here's a spotty translation of the poem so that you, too, can feel sad about it. Choices and sacrifices were made to keep the rythm and most significant parts, things got lost in translation that I couldn't salvage, but I still hope it helps sharing a little of its beauty.

Tomorrow as the land pales in the light of dawn,

I will leave for you see, I know that you await

I will go through the woods, and through the mountains high

I can no longer stay so far away from you.

I will walk with my eyes boring in thoughts my own

Unseeing any sight, unhearing any noise

Lone, and unknown, with a bent back and folded hands

Sad, and the day to me will be such as the night.

I will not gaze upon this dusk a golden fume

Nor the shade of the ships sailing to the harbour,

And then, as I arrive, I will lay on your tomb

A bouquet of holly and blossoming heather.

Victor Hugo, from the Poetry Collection «Les Contemplations» Book 4, Pauca Meae (1856)

This isn't even the poem I've read that fits them best, far from it, but I keep picturing Bruce walking from the cave (leaving the Robin suit) through Crime Alley to the cemetery and being sad about it and now you get to be sad too.

'Have I Told You About Minnie?' by Hinn_Raven

Author: @secretlystephaniebrown

“Use the fake identity Master Bruce gave you, Minnie Malone. You’re looking for your uncle, your cousin Pete’s got caught by Batman, and he needs to come home now.”

“Got it,” Steph says, letting her hair out of her ponytail.

“Hey girlie, you’re too young to in here,” the guy at the door says, looking bored.

“It’s fuckin’ Gotham, who cares?” She demands, throwing a heavy Burnley accent on for good measure. She flinches, as if she’s realizing that she shouldn’t have said that. “Look, I’m sorry, I’m just lookin’ for my Uncle Matches, an’ my mom says he’s here tonight, I—”

“No shit,” the man says, suddenly. “Are you Minnie?”

“Yeah I am,” she says, putting her hands on her hips, wondering what the hell Bruce has gotten her into. “What’s it to you?”

The man laughs. “Damn, I was starting to think you were a figment of Matches’ imagination.”

She wrinkles her nose. “Uncle Matches wishes he was smart enough to come up with me.”

He flat out cackles, slapping his knee. “Damn, you really are Matches’ girl. Alright kid, go on in.”

My boy Duke the Daystar himself is up next!!! So excited, hope I do him justice in his Winx Enchantix ripoff transformation

"Oh, this is so bad."

"And things are just getting more complicated really fast. You focus on what I just sent you, I'll take the other party. I don't know what game he thinks he's playing, but he's not gonna win this one."

"I'll get right there. Are you okay, what's happening?"

"A little rat has just shown himself in Gotham."

And we finish the low quality Classic Transformation Constellation of the Robin round-up with Damian, the Boy himself! He's about to Wonder his enemies something good

His Robin transformation also has black because of the influence of the Bat in his blood since he, like Duke, is the son of a Star and has some of the powers of said Star in his blood without needing a crystal for it.

Abilities:

Flight

Enhanced athletics

Enhanced healing

Colour Swirl: that charging light he looks about to spear you with is a colourful wave that bludgeons through enemies like a brick rain (tim can confirm)

Son of the Bat: this ability takes its roots both in the pre-existing parental link between the Constellations of the Bat and the Robin, and the parental relationship between most holders of the Robin and one of the holders of the Bat, as well as Damian's powerful drive to prove himself as Batman's son. When Robin is in the vicinity of a Bat, all of his abilities, physical and magical, are enhanced (up to 3 times more powerful) though that may be altered depending on his relationship with the current holder of the Bat.
