I don't give a good gorram about relevant, Wash. Or objective. And I ain't so afraid of losing something that I ain't gonna try to have it. You and I would make one beautiful baby. And I want to meet that child one day. Period.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

No, I'm pretty sure he was never "Robin," but the retcon is that he apparently worked with Batman as "Red Robin."

NOT THE SAME THING, DC. Taste my hate.

Here's one link, but it's from July: [link]

And another: [link]

I'm not okay with this. Deeply not okay.

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

Oh, good god. What huge sloppy fuckups (that used to be floppy suckups, which is a whole different vibe...)

Like, seriously, THE REASON YOU HAVE TO CHANGE IT WAS BECAUSE IT DIDN'T SUCK ENOUGH THE FIRST TIME.

I'm still pissy about the Cass stuff, so you know...

I'm re-reading the Bruce Wayne: Murderer/Fugitive TPBs right now, and I forgot how much wonderful Cass stuff is in there. (Or, actually, that the whole impetus behind Cain framing Bruce was because of Cass. Which is sort of fantastic and sort of not.)

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

So DC are being complete clueless tools. Good to know.

Hmmph. Yes, that too.

Young Justice is back! Can I just say that I’m loving how totally fucked up the Roy Harpers are?

Was that Jason Todd's image in the underground cavern? If so, how does he fit into the canon of the group? Timelines feel a bit tight, but I guess they don't have to be realistic, because the show hardly is. Stil...

Yes, it is, ita. There's a five year gap between seasons 1 and 2; plenty of time to wedge him into the timeline.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

It's kind of funny, as I was wondering the other day if Jason existed in this universe. Question answered.

I do agree with ita that the timing is a little tight. It means Dick has likely been Nightwing for awhile despite only being 18/19 currently.

I enjoyed the episode. The bit with Captain Cold was cute.

Poor Ollie. I didn't even think about the triple whammy of "failure" between the two Roys and Artemis' "death."

I've posted [link] here before. It seems appropriate.

I forgot to mention, I love how completely unflappable Luthor is.
