I really need to find a way to get more caught up on current Bat stuff. No Man's Land stuff is the last I really read, I think.
Am I supposed to be changing my clothes a lot? Is that the helpful thing to do?

I'm currently reading Batman: Year One, having just read an old New Teen Titans TPB -- The Terror of Trigon.
The Bat doesn't seem quite so crazy at this point. I look forward to seeing him get progressively nuttier.

I've just looked at Amazon and realized that my copy of Robin: Year One doesn't look like this at all. Instead, it's yellow, with Robin in the foreground holding his cape up like he's going to cover his face, Batman stands behind him - it looks like he's holding two cloaked people (one under each arm) and then the Hatter is on one side and three little girls dressed up like Alice on the other.
Are these just two different editions of the same book? (My Robin: Year One alsos says No. One of Four on the cover. Does this mean, I should be looking for three mor books? Or are the other three books other Year One things?

The version on Amazon is a collected trade paperback that contains all four issues of "Robin: Year One." You apparently only own Issue #1, which is pictured on the right side of this page. It'd probably be cheaper for you to just buy the collected version rather than hunt down the remaining three issues you lack, however.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
I always liked Batman Beyond, but I think I was attracted to it more stylistically than I was thematically. It was beautifully shot, with an interesting combination of animation.
Babs is the Oracle, right?
Then who is the Batgirl I see in "Bruce Wayne, Murderer?"

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

A-yup.

That's a newer Batgirl, the daughter of an assassin who was one of the people who trained Batman how to fight.

Also--fans of Outsiders Ho-yay really need to pick up the current issue. Immediately.

Drat! I bet all the stuff I bought used from Amazon's "Marketplace" will turn out to be single issues of different series.

Dude, that sucks so hard. Can you still nail the seller somehow for breaking Amazon rules?

So, apropos of nothing much, how's that whole new Batgirl thing working out anyway? I've only ever read a guest spot she had in Superboy back when Joe Kelly was writing it. Nice, well thought out addition to the Batverse, or more on the level of tacky RazorGlove Batman with 'improved' grittiness action?
FWIW, I liked her in that SB isssue, but that may just be Kelly making me like characters who'd otherwise be worthless.
