I have finally made the laptop my bitch. It's getting old, and the CD drive sometimes likes to destroy CDs instead of read them. I have, however, finally gotten Nightwing 75-92 saved on my hard drive, and have read #75. Dick really has no sense of other people's personal bubble, does he?

While I was doing battle with the laptop, I read far enough into NML #3 to find out who Batgirl was. I don't know enough about Azrael -- all I know is that he took on the mantle of the Bat during Knightsfall, and he was just a wee bit insane. I assume he was somehow rehabilitated in the interim between Knightsfall and NML?

Circus boy? No, not really. Oh, Shrift-- the other thing, though this isn't R:Y1 related--the reversal with Dick pinning Catalina on her turf (the walls) early on/that damned last scene in #93, on a rooftop, on *his* turf. I kept meaning to mention that.

I need more people to discuss this with.

I presume you're reading people's comments on LJ?

Yep. Though my FList is completely swamped with Angel discussion.

Plei, I like your Babs theory. The Fear is definitely making her push people away in a very Bruce-like fashion. Not to mention her own theory about "why Dick sleeps with people." 'Cause... yeah. Heh.

And re: the rooftop reversal -- yes!

Shrift, where does he first not want to be called Dick? 91? 92? It comes up a couple times with Amy.

Gotta take notes. Lots of 'em.

Plei - does he not want to be called Dick because he's being Nightwing? Is this more than a safekeeping the not-so-secret identity?

Sumi, I'm still torn as to the meaning. We haven't seen him out of costume since the graveyard, have we?

Plei, are you thinking of the scene in the BPD parking garage in 91? Because I didn't see that so much a matter of objecting to the name she was using as of resentment at her coming to him at all.

Amych: I'll have to doublecheck, because my memory has it happening more than once, and thus worth looking at, which could be the four hours of sleep making me see things.
