Dick really has no sense of other people's personal bubble, does he?
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.
We haven't seen him out of costume since the graveyard, have we?
Pretty sure not. And it's definitely
more than all his stuff getting blown to smithereens. I may have to go back and revise my previous whitefont -- he's definitely got as sharp a split between costume and noncostume life as Bruce does, right about now
