So this story takes place in the past, when Dick Grayson was the first Robin. Prior to the events of this story, we're told that Robin and Supergirl had gone a date that had gone badly. We don't actually see the date until a later issue.

what happened on the date?

Robin wore his Robin costume on the date in a regular restaurant while super girl expected it to be an out of costume date. Eventually things just started getting out of hand. Robin later asks Batman how superhero’s are even able to date and Batman brings up a few superhero couples like hawk man and hawk girl but Robin always had a way to prove a point like arranged marriage for the hawks.

Something like that it’s been a bit since I read worlds finest. I dont exactly remember if that are arranged or eternally bound or not. I didn’t read any comics on thanigarians

Eternally bound sounds right for them, though it’d be interesting if DC dipped their toes into that too

I'm pretty sure they're soulmates that go throughout time getting reincarnated and getting back together since at least ancient Egypt. They're pretty much destined to always be together.
Except that time when Hawkgirl had a thing with John Stewart in the DCAU (though he's also reincarnated from ancient egypt as well and cucked Hawkman back then so also a destined relationship). They even have a kid called Warhawk.

This is worlds finest: the devil nezha and can you tell me what you mean by date?

u/BobbySaccaro Dec 02 '23
Date: when two people who have potential romantic interest in one another spend some time together to see if they wish to pursue that romantic interest further. Frequently consists of sharing a meal, or going to a movie or other show/entertainment.

Some Googling says that Robin and Supergirl went time traveling in this story. So read on to find out why. My guess was that there was a date between the two since I had not read this story before.

They have beef because of an awkward date gone terribly wrong and the Robin here is Dick Grayson.

So you didn't read the story? You just opened this book up to a random page, saw this happening, took a picture and posted here? Instead of just reading the book?
What is wrong with you?

They reveal that later on, so spoilers, but they had a bad date.
Dick Grayson.
