When she awakens Batman tries to make up for the harsh encounter and King blackmails him so that he will allow her to hold the mantle of Robin.

Robin in the meantime escapes from Joker and finds Stephanie but in an attempt to save her, is brutally shot to death. Batman arrives too late and he kills Ivy by strangling her with her own plants. Two-face disappears, but Joker escapes but not before Batman cripples him like he did Barbra.Batman then falls into deep depression, taking out his anger on any two-timing low-life he can find. He is a vigilante. And he doesn’t care. With Rebecca’s help he learns to trust and feel again and by the end of the series, returns to the original Batman.
Conclusion
[edit]After two years of being The Robin, King begins to decrease on her intensity. She explains to Batman it is because she is happy and at peace with herself. This changes however when she realizes that Bruce never officially adopted her, only naming himself as her guardian. She goes ballistic, wanting desperately to have a family and almost kills Bane. Batman decides that maybe she needs a break to which she tells him that she has re-entered herself into the adoption agency and has already been picked. She claims she wants a normal life when all she wants to do is hurt Bruce. She gives up being The Robin and encourages Bruce to allow people back in his life and that she will never lose touch. Batman learns to respect her on a whole new level and gives her little resistance. But when she tells him that her new adoptive father is some man named Lex Luthor, Bruce doubts her future safety. Is this the end of The Robin or a beginning of a more frightening chapter?
Robin 5
[edit]As the 5th Robin, King’s reign was swift and brutal. But She perhaps gained the most respect from Batman.
