Batman, Vol. 1 #480A (Direct Edition)

Tim Drake and his father Jack are visiting their mother and wife's grave. They discover her tombstone has vandalized by a gang called the Y-Dogs. Tim comforts Jack, who calls him a good son and promises to be a better father to him.

Tim doesn't want to move into his father's Robinson Park penthouse or work part-time at Drake Industries like Jack wants. While Alfred is driving him back to Wayne Manor, Tim sees two Y-Dogs graffitiing a building and gets out to confront them. He beats them up and leaves them on the ground of an alleyway.

Tim joins Batman on patrol as Robin, believing it could be his last night. He wants to investigate the Y-Dogs since the two he fought were wearing designer clothes. Tim considers telling his father that he's Robin, and Bruce tells him that's a decision he has to make on his own.

The Y-Dogs rob a Drake Medical warehouse, and Batman and Robin catch them in the act. They beat up the gang members and leave them tied up for the police.

Tim realizes his father needs him and asks Alfred to drive him to the hospital. Alfred hands him a real estate listing for a mansion next-door to Wayne Manor, suggesting the country air might be good for Jack.
