James Tynion IV: In the "New 52," Tim Drake had a different origin - a pretty fundamentally different one - that I think a lot of fans of the character felt did not speak to the core of who Tim Drake was.
What we did here - the scenes you're seeing played out here, word for word, are scenes from the original "Lonely Place of Dying."
That was a very deliberate choice.
This is us bringing the spirit of "Rebirth" into the comic books, because in order to really do a treatise on who Tim Drake is as a character, we needed to ground him back in his most iconic origin, the story that really defined him for a generation of fans.
So that's why we sort of - that's why we hammered that in right at the beginning, making sure that fans know the definitive "Rebirth" origin of Tim Drake is his original origin from "Lonely Place of Dying."

This powerful image is a masterful nod to George Perez's original piece for the introduction of Tim Drake into the Batman Universe. It's the perfect cover for Tim's Return, after the Bat Family's gut wrenching loss of him, last year! This issue also marks the return of Eddy Barrows and Eber Ferreira to this Batman title!

In Detective Comics #968, Tim will finally escape his current imprisonment at the hands of the mysterious Mr. Oz (whose identity will be revealed soon in the pages of Action Comics). However, as DC’s solicits tease, getting home is not quite the same thing as surviving the experience.
The arc’s title, “A Lonely Place of Living,” is a play on Drake’s DC Comics introduction in 1990’s “A Lonely Place of Dying.” The storyline, written by Marvel Wolfman and drawn by George Perez and Jim Aparo, was a crossover event between Batman and Teen Titans, and served to bring a new Robin (Drake) into Batman’s life following the murder of Jason Todd years earlier. The story was designed to illustrate how important Robin was to helping Batman regain his humanity in the face of Todd’s death.
Check out the cover — which homages the final chapter of the aforementioned “A Lonely Place of Dying” storyline — and solicitation text for the Tim Drake’s return, below.

“A LONELY PLACE OF LIVING” finale! Tim Drake is back on Earth — but if the deadly threat he brought back with him from outside of time has its way, it won’t be for long…and this shadowy figure wants to take one of Batman’s team down with him, too! Everything Tim died for the first time is at risk, if he can’t survive this attack!

Exclusive DC First Look: September's Action Comics and Detective Comics Titles
by Russ Burlingame | June 13, 2017
DC has provided ComicBook.com with an exclusive first look at the solicitation text for Action Comics #987 and #988,and Detective Comics #965, and the standard covers for Action Comics #987 and Detective Comics #965.
The cover for Detective Comics is particularly interesting, as the image is an homage to George Perez's cover to Batman #441, the middle chapter to "A Lonely Place of Dying," the story arc in which Drake was introduced as the third Robin.
The upcoming Detective story is titled "A Lonely Place of Living," and sees Drake trying to decide between escaping Mr. Oz's prison or staying behind -- a decision made harder by a surprising revelation that fans will have to wait to fully grasp the gravity of.

5 ‘Batman’ Comics From the 1980s That Prove Frank Miller Is a Genius
By Collier Jennings | Published Sep 10, 2026, 8:46 AM EDT
For over 85 years, Batman has remained one of the few superheroes with a massive foothold in pop culture. He dominates television, movies, and video games, but most importantly, he's still a major figure in comics. Plenty of creators have had their chance to put their stamp on the Dark Knight, whether it's Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta radically shaking up his mythos in Absolute Batman or Chip Zdarsky and Jorge Jimenez creating the terrifying artificial intelligence known as Failsafe. Most Batman fans would argue that one creator's had an impact on the character that lasts to this day, whether it's through his work or other stories.
(excerpt)
For all the grit and violence that The Dark Knight Returns brings to the table, it also features a ray of hope in the form of Carrie Kelly, who becomes the new Robin under Batman's tutelage. A similar approach appears in the highly underrated Batman: A Lonely Place of Dying. Written by Marv Wolfman and illustrated by Jim Aparo and George Perez, A Lonely Place of Dying shows that Batman is growing more violent and reckless following Jason Todd's death. To shake him out of his funk, Tim Drake, a teenager who discovered Batman's secret identity, attempts to convince Dick Grayson to become Robin again. However, in a twist of fate, Tim ends up becoming the new Robin.
