Flatline is Working with Ra’s al Ghul, But for What Reason?
Ra ’s al Ghul ’s return key and Flatline ’s partnership with him was established nearly a class ago and this is the first sentence fans have seen any development on that front . Damian seems to be unaware that Ra ’s has come back to aliveness and he ’s also incognizant of what Flatline went through duringLazarus Planet . It seems that Ra ’s is potentially using Flatline for some unknown intention and thatFlatline does not desire Damian to live about her work with Ra ’s al Ghul .
right ascension ’s ’ intelligence sustain only two things : That Flatline did not amount to explore for her sister , but for Damian , and that whatever she ’s come to do is passing metre - raw .

Or maybeFlatline only bestow Ra ’s al Ghul back to living halfway and Damian is neededto work his grandfather back in a more permanent capability .
The latter seems most probable because Flatline clearly does n’t want Damian to know that she ’s been function for Ra ’s . It seems odd that Flatline just would n’t tell Robin what ’s going on as the two were quite faithful on Lazarus Island . But for whatever understanding , Flatline has chosen to blot out her unexampled alliance from her swain . Maybe she feel that she ’s protecting him , but she should know thatDamian has a complex relationship with Ra’sand he ’s not going to take this kind of confidential well .

By working for Ra ’s al Ghul and not tell Damian that Ra ’s was animated , she ’s crossed a wrinkle she might not be able to well fix , putting her relationship with Robin in risk .
It ’s hard to speculate on Flatline ’s reasoning for hiding this from Robin . But what ’s done is done and now the question is a matter of when and not if the relationship is going to go sideway . While it depends on how press Flatlline ’s secret is , one thing is for sure : Robin is going to be absolutely heartbroken when he finds out about Flatline ’s treason .
