Dick, in fact, is so far from happy, he can't even smell the hamburgers.
Yes, but if Nutty sets his underpants on fire, then he'll be desperately unhappy and naked.
Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

By all rights, he should be an annoying Mary Sue.
I know! And yet, he's fabulous. There's a crazy, calculating edge to the boy, and it's acknowledged, which is I think why he works.

Especially now his underpants are on fire.
Given how often he's ditching them, I don't think he'd have felt more than a tingle.
He's kind of a needy manho.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi
Devin Grayson is also an out lesbian, which is even rarer in comics than being a het woman.
Some Buffista who I cannot recall but whom I thank again nonetheless sent me a book of interviews with comics writers, about how they work and how they got into it (which I would be happy to add to our Comicsflix pile, now that I think of it). Devin was the only woman interviewed, and one of the writers I liked the best from the book -- and I wasn't even reading Batfamily comics at the time! I got the rec for Nightwing/Huntress based on liking the interview, and now -- well, now I'm buying the latest issue of Birds of Prey to read on the LIRR and wondering why Huntress is surprised to find out Babs and Dick were an item when she was the one who called it that they were going to get together in the mini!
And, for the record, Tim Drake has yet to do anything for me. I don't get it.

Kind of? Hee. According to Babs, he sleeps with anyone who's nice to him. Or who reminds him of Bruce.

Tim is deeply Not Right In The Head. He's a competent little control freak in a cape, with a sense of humor, a slightly evil way about him, and a dysfunctional relationship with everyone in the known universe.
I, um, overidentify with him sometimes.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Or who reminds him of Bruce.
It's like Babs is one of us.

She just understands that Dick puts the Ho back in HoYay.

The boy just decided he wanted to be Robin, and then made it happen. I don't think you can get much less right in the head than that.

Now, don't leave out the first part: the boy decided that BRUCE needed Robin, and tried to get Dick back into the pixie boots. Then, when that didn't work, he threw himself on the alter of Bruce's needs.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore
Actually, I think Tim's even scarier than thet. He decided that Batman *needed* a Robin, and only after reaching that conclusion did he appoint himself best severely disturbed youngster for the job. He's so *methodical*.
(xpost with plei, of course. hee.)
