Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

Damian is so great. Have you seen any of the B&R pages? I can probably dig up highlights while goofing off tomorrow. (Probably = definitely.)

(I have no idea who Colin is.)

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

I've seen very few actual pages, mostly just fanart and read the Wikipedia page.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I totally have no idea who Colin is. Apparently I am WAY behind on my pulls.

Related-ish-ly, Tim and I had a long conversation last night about what to name my new laptop. The current one is Titans Tower. The 2 peripherals are named after characters (external hard drive is Batman, iPod Touch is Blue Beetle). Following that logic, the laptop should be a place, not a character, so I'm thinking Batcave. Tim kept throwing out things like "Batmobile! Gotham! Asgard!" (I told him that I can't mix DC and Marvel, because I would be afraid of what happened if I connected a DC peripheral to a Marvel computer.)

Batcave for computer, and I'm thinking Red Robin for the enormous external hard drive I'm going to need to back it up.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

Is the USB hub Oracle?

Why not Batcomputer for the computer?

Colin seems to be a red-headed normal kid around Damian's age that he's pals with. But I'm not sure what he knows or how weirdo psycho Damian knows him.

I think that I might be making a visit to the comic book store this weekend. It's been a while. I've just been keeping up via graphic novel. But Cass is coming back and apparently not evil! She's still my favouritest.

As weird as what I'm about to say is -- that's a little too literal for me. (I know.) I like them being places, like Titans Tower, Batcave, Fortress of Solitude, etc.

Is the USB hub Oracle?

Holy cow, now it will be.

Oops! Sorry if that was spoilery. I'm out of touch enough that I don't know what's common knowledge. It seems to be in the pre-press promo stuff. Gates of Gotham. I can't wait.

Okay, some Damian highlights...

From Batman #656, Damian meets Bruce.

From #657, Damian meets Tim.

From B&R #9, Damian meets a crazy cloned Bruce. Families, right?

From #12, Damian chats with Mom. Because of "I hope I can be a worthy one."

And from #13, Damian meets the Joker. Because crowbar. (I cannot find this but also in 13: Dick finds out that Damian’s talking to the Joker & freaks out. Gordon’s all, “Oh no, that poor kid! and Dick snaps "It’s the Joker I’m worried about!")
