Which reminds me -- did anyone read the latest Green Arrow? Sometimes Winick really doesn't suck.
I'd dropped it. Should I pick it up?
Well, Red Hood comes to Star City, followed by Batman (and I'm actually not even pimping the storyline based on any hatesex HoYay, so there!), and Ollie and Mia are in top snarky form and Jay is back to his oh-so-fucked-up-yet-mesmerizing self (we'll call his characterization -- and near-digestion -- in Nightwing a really unfortunate bad dream).
It's mostly the Ollie and Mia snarking that made me full of Winick-love. Though Bats and his great big weak spot for Jay is pretty damn spot-on, too.

Mrph.
Okay. I'll do it for Jay. Because NO ONE writes Jay like Winick. NO ONE.
Mmm. Jay.
PS, that whole RUN of Nightwing was a Very Bad Dream.
How can we dance when our Earth is turning?
How do we sleep while our beds are burning?

Right? It's SO worth reading.
Mmm. Jay.
He *crazy.* And I love that he's Batman's unfixable weak spot.
I have "Dancing With Tears in My Eyes" in my head. Ah, apocolyptic pop, how anacronistic you seem.

He makes me wibble like a little girl. Not in the same way as Dean does, but more in the way that crazy, Wes-torturing Faith did.

And where do Dick and Tim fall on your woobie scales?
Now my brain has cycled onto "Five Minutes to Midnight" by Heaven 17.
And where do Dick and Tim fall on your woobie scales?
Dick's mostly fun to torture and break, but also fun to see in partnership and happy. I'm not sure he fits on the scale, exactly. I have a shallow love of Dick. Tim, well, he's TIM. His boots have toes. He's the most calculating mofo in the history of good. Tim is not a woobie. He'd be figuring out the best way to disarm you using only the soup and blanket you're attempting to smother him with the moment you walk through the door.
