'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'

I can't believe that I have to buy more comics now.
I was thinking that earlier. My library system has a good amount of TPBs, but for the most ubiquitous titles -- Spidey, X-Men, Supes, the Bat, etc. No Nightwing, damn it, which I feel I should start reading.
Nahh, SA, DC comicverse is way sexier than JL.
Is it? I've only got the briefest knowledge of it all. Amusingly (for me, anyway), when I watched JL for the first time the other day, and Savage was on there, I was all, "I know him! He's in 1602!" A bit backwards, yeah.
You been keeping up with Birds of Prey, too? It's been pretty freakin' incredible.
No, but now I'm thinking I oughtta be. Damn it. Comics are worse than CRACK.
Dude, no shit! (Also, in the latest? Scruffy.)
Gyah. I mean, seriously -- I can't explain how hot he is. I just need to hand people a few of the latest issues where he's on a motorcycle and grinning madly, and basically going, "I think I've gone insane. Isn't it neat?" as he's driving off a roof...
And slowly my flist is being taken over by JL...
Heh. The DC comicverse takeover makes me happy. I felt all lonely when RPS became the hot new thing.
Vandal Savage is in 1602? How? He's a DC character.
Is it? I've only got the briefest knowledge of it all.
Well, to be fair, it depends on your obsessions -- JL has some fantastic stuff, especially centered around Flash. I'm just perversely shippy about the whole twisted batfamily dynamic.

Sigh.... Yeah. And, umm, yeah.

You, me, and Huntress makes three.
Should we start a Batman thread? Somewhat serious --there really isn't a good place for it, and (while the fandom sounds all kinds of awesome, and I wish I had time to get involved in it) it does seem to be generating a lot of posts right now.
Most comics discussion goes in Jossverse.
And a Batman thread doesn't do that much for the Nightwing lovers, strictly.
Now that I no longer hang out in a comic store day in and day out, I've gotten behind. So, Nightwing is following in Batman's crazy footsteps? Well, I suppose it's to be expected, considering who raised Dick Grayson. Still, I love the way the DC comicverse always twitches when any of the Bat-gang is around.
Is Joker still around? Still hobbling around on his shot-up knee? (shouldn't be a spoiler, because that happened years ago)
