Handsome brooding vampire guy has to swoop in all sensitive mouth and overhanging forehead. How 'bout leaving some scraps for the homely-looking fellows who don't turn evil when they get some?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I am very sad I don't own this comic.

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

Can someone explain Jason Todd's hair to me?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Just speculating; could it be a Lazarus Pit thing?

I look more rad than Lutheranism

ita, I don't know where I read this, but I feel like it was retconned that he always had red hair but dyed it dark brown when he was Robin. (Possibly he dyed it because Batman made him?)

I swear I read that in one of the comics, because I can't imagine I would just dream that up in my head.

And then he dyed in a white streak? So confusing.

Anyone reading Flashpoint? What's up with it? Any good?

I have had the hair question cleared up in my reading of Batman: Black Glove. You are absolutely right, Steph. Then he mentions the Lazarus pit gave him a white streak, and then the colourist goes on to not give him a white streak for the next couple of issues.

It's really weird seeing him red-headed. I keep thinking he's Allen or West.

Oh, *that's* where I read it!

Still, I dislike the red hair immensely.

I thought his hair reminded me of Ra’s’. (Ra’s’s? Ra’s?)

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Ra’s’. (Ra’s’s? Ra’s?)

this has to have come up before. Somewhere it must be canon.

Pretty sure it's come up *here* before. Buffistas and punctuation? We're going to discuss it. (Teal'c, I am looking at you, buddy.)
