Holli: hold off on that, and I'll do more digging for you in about two hours.
The money was too good. I got stupid.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think I missed an introduction to The Outsiders. What is it and should I start buying it?
The Outsiders used to be a group of misfits run by Batman, which ran concurrently with The New Teen Titans.
The Titans broke up when the member Troia (ex-Wonder Girl) was killed. Nightwing (ex-Robin, natch, ex-Titan) was convinced by Arsenal (also ex-Titan) to oversee another random group of superheroes, Outsiders #2 (Teen Titans also restarted, (current Robin, current Wonder Girl, Superboy, etc).

Ooh, Nightwing is Robin? Things make so much more sense now, kind of.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Nightwing is Robin?
Yep. Specifically, Dick Grayson.
(also, hawt.)

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Am I the only person round these parts who knows who the original Nightwing was?

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

Yep.
- Nightwing = Dick Grayson = Robin I = Insecure bohunk every woman in the D.C. Universe (and a few outside) lust after.
- Jason Todd = Robin II = Kind of annoying and dead
- Tim Drake = Robin II = Sort-of current Robin, retiring so he can stop lying to his dad about what he's up to running around with emotionally insecure men in tights. Anyway, no one believes he's really going to stay quit. Kind of like when I give up smoking.
- Stephanie Brown = Robin IV = Spoiler = Daughter of deceased Batman villain the Cluemaster, who's name should've been a hint that he wasn't long for this world. She picks up the mantle after Tim bails.

It was Batman, wasn't it? In the bottled city of Kandor. And Superman was--I kid you not--Flamebird. Or do I have that reversed?

Almost. Superman was Nightwing and Jimmy Olson was Flamebird.

Ah. Did Batman ever pick up that role, 'cause I've got a clear picture in my head, but no reference.
Maybe I'm thinking of Bippo the Super Monkey.
