I'd almost go so far as to say even more of one. Bruce usually at least *has* a non-costumed life, and right now it feels like Dick buried himself with the residents of 1013 Parkthorne.
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Good point. Poor woobie !

No, I don't think we have. It's as though he thought he only knows how to be Nightwing and after this -- will he know what that means either?

Uh, for a slightly less melodramatic reading? He knows Blockbuster is after him wherever he goes, whatever he does. Wouldn't you want to be in your Kevlarware at all times under the circs?

Gotta take notes. Lots of 'em.
You or me? Heh. Because I'll gladly hand meta off to other people...

And, also, it's worth noting that half the freaking Batfamily have blood on their hands of some sort or another. It's a shift, but not something the character can't be brought back from. In fact, it's fairly obvious to me how they will bring him back, based on Blockbuster's big last speech. I'm just looking forward to seeing it done.

I also think that not very much time passed -- from one thing to the next. When would he have had time to shop and you know what Michele said (about the kevlar and being hunted.)

This doesn't seem to be a problem for anyone at any other time, though, so I'm gonna discount it as an argument in comicbookworld, though it's a good one in Realityville.

Wait, Realityville?
Damn, I knew I shoulda taken that left at Albuquerque.
