Review Batman #16

Yesterday, i've read batman (2016) #16, and the part that i liked the most was surely the part where we see the tree former robins arguing. First we can see damian complaining about his meal and richard answering that it comes with a toy wich leads damian to conclude that he hates him(i can't say that i'm surprised) and of course jason, seeing an oportunity, asked for the toy but the other answered that the toy is his so jay provocated him by repeating his sentence wich of course leads damian to conclude that he hates them both, he was only praying that this toy isn't a red hood action figure or else he would kill someone( in the end it was revealed that the action figure was indeed in red hood's image) .Anyway, for the first time we get to meet the bat-family all in one place this year, but i don't think a fast food restaurant is the right place to meet, neither does bruce but like richard said they always meet in the cave, and they're tired of alfred's cucumber sandwiches. So he figured this would be more "familial" and normal (yeah cause it's normal to meet batman and robin in McDonald's) so like you can see bruce starts talking to the former robins about bane and  meanwhile jason steals damian's red hood action figure, when damian turns and realizes that his toy was missing, he immediately blamed jay but the other started provocating him by denying. Duke wasn't able to believe his eyes not because of knowing that bane was after the bat but because of bruce's "weird" way to eat a burger(with a fork and a knife ; but seriously have you ever seen an american eat a burger like that?) and nightwing showing him how his son eats a burger (duke turns to see damian throwing his burger on jay's face) but bruce suddenly shout and tell them to go out of gotham for five days so that he can save gotham girl and then he leaves the place. Jason, damian and richard starts plotting about how they will go fight bane but duke disapproved it and told them that he will not just ignore the bat, richard replied that ignoring batman's orders is pretty much the definition of being a robin but duke leaves saying that he is not Robin and he will not just ignore Bruce, and we have another fight of damian and jay about hair or whatever.
The second scene shows catwoman and batman on the roof of the GCPD...
The next scene shows bruce with alfred and gotham girl in the Wayne manor entering the Batcave where they find three dead damian, richard and jason with "I AM BANE" written on their chest.

Seriously i'm not buying it, first of all they can't be dead AGAIN, and second each of them is the main character of their comic book series(nightwing,red hood and the outlaws, teen titans,titans and super sons) wich are pretty much the garanty of them not being dead. So rest assured, plus like i said, DC comics will not kill them again: Red hood was already killed by the joker long ago, Damian was killed by the heretic in batman incorporated vol 2 #8 and nightwing was killed by lex luthor in  Forever evil  (actually he faked his death) or when he was killed by damian himself during the events of Injustice: gods among us wich is not a primary earth story so isn't considered as his death.
But like all of you there's one question that is turning in my mind now, if they live so who are those guys hanged in the batcave ? But what i think is that nightwing plotted the whole thing, i think he trapped bane OR it's bane who trapped batman by letting him believe it was his "sons" but actually were not. Cause if you read clearly and think for a second, you'll ask who was richard talking about when he said "smart kid"? was it Duke or damian? and what did he mean by that?
Of course the answers to all these questions will be in the next issue wich is airing next week on the 15th of february (the same day where super sons airs YAY!)
Here are some of my favourite pages😊:
I love the fight scene so cooooool


if you watch carefully you can see jason stealing damian's action figure

like father like son. one tries to eat his burger in a fancy way and the other throws it on other's faces, but in the end both of them don't eat it

Duke: All of you have been dead?! Am i going to be dead?😝

Bruce you left without eating your burger, but you know what? Go, your body is a temple remember? so don't eat that JUNKfood

Damian: Don't worry Todd, i'm sure Alfred can teach you the lost art of the comb over. Your hair is fine Jay stop worrying. and you Damian stay like you are😝

OH. MY. GOD (please don't be dead, please don't be dead...🙏
