Question -- what number is the Robin that introduces the new Robin? Is it out now?

And have any of you seen that Catwoman collection? Is it good?

Question -- what number is the Robin that introduces the new Robin? Is it out now?

Apparently, issues #126 (solicited for May 19) and #127 (solicited for June 23) will deal with this.

And have any of you seen that Catwoman collection? Is it good?

Which collection are you talking about? The current run of Catwoman, written by Ed Brubaker, is top-notch (but there has been an unfortunate change in the art team with issue #25 that robs the title of some of its character).

There is some collection which is supposed to have the "best" Catwoman stories -- are they really the best?

Ah. There's a bunch of "the Best CharacterX stories" out there. I haven't looked at it. Catwoman: Crooked Little Town, is good though.

Some events are recognized faster than others. The downfall of President Luthor seemed to be picked up quickly in the DC Universe, but Tim's situation hasn't been seen to be affecting even the Bat-titles yet

This is true. Though I know it hits Batgirl in a couple of issues.

Some major events, like the Dick/Babs breakup, do ripple across the series, but if they spent the time it would take to develop a coherent cross-book timeline, I don't know that they'd have time to actually write the books.

No shit. They'd be too busy trying to clean up the post-explosion brains from the wall. Most of me knows this. I would like it to start talking to the rest of me before the rest of me causes trouble. Please note, the part of my brain that started obsessing over this is the same part that spent three days researching women's prisons in California for a 500 word snapshot fic.

What is even happening?

There is no escaping the Bat, is there. My kids put cartoon network on, to watch Scooby Doo cartoons. This segment is called, "New Scooby Doo Movies" and the particular episode is The Dynamic Scooby Affair (1972), with cartoon Batman and Robin. Your cult beats the Scientologists by a mile.

That's because Scientologists don't have Batarangs.

Do they have utility belts? I mean, I can't see why they'd bother, without the batarangs, but you never can tell.

Ouch. Coffee hurts when exhaled.

Oddly, I believe they do.

To carry their "theta-clear" testers or whatever the hell those things are.

"Robin! To the Hubbardmobile!!

Yeah, but they're really craptacular. They have dental floss, insted of a grapnel line, and breath mints instead of tear gas. Most of the little pouches are filled with those pamphlets and personality tests.
