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.
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

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

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
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)

The Joker will always be around. I don't think he was hobbling when he tortured Lex in The Outsiders. (Nightwing's following Bats in more ways than just crazy).

That was what I thought, but I was wondering if I was wrong.
No big.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

This is why comics are confusing and headache-inducing.

Hmm. And now I feel guilty because I can't stop babbling about comics. I feel like I need to write a livejournal post where I promise not to let comics fandom devour me from my bottom, or something...
Edited to say that, obviously, that's my weird thing, and yeah, shutting up now.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Vandal Savage is in 1602? How? He's a DC character.
And there we show how little I know about these comicverses. Who's the dude with the mirrors, and the pointy goatee, then?
