Er. This isn't an attempt to derail Nightwing convo, but: reason #1,057 why one shouldn't ask Bart to do surveillance, unless one thinks he looks pretty in pink.
Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

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

Heh. Bart Allen. Sort -of Master of Disguise.
Don't know if Nightwing will be more than tangentially involved, but DC has the first few pages of the "Identity Crisis" miniseries up, and I'm dying with anticipation.
The scoop--and no one knows the full details yet--a murder of someone close to the JLA threatens to reveal a secret they've been keeping for years. Brad Meltzer (a novelist who also did a good run on 'Green Arrow") is writing.

Also, Unclear Thesis City. I mean, I've laughed and I've cried (really), but from page to page I'm not sure what the author's point is, or what Spider's point is. Which is okay for Spider; he's inconsistent and just maybe on one long tear-assing rant. But Warren Ellis seems to have some points to make, and I'm having a hard time pulling them out. Do people suck? Are people basically redeemable?
There is a lot of target of opportunity ranting, but on the whole, I think he is going somewhere. I still have to score the last bundle myself, so I don't know how it ends, but I'm not really worried about a letdown. Any specific parts that seemed jarring?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yeah -- that was in last month's Wizard (I can't believe I'm buying Wizard again -- I feel so dirty). I'm pretty intrigued, and want them to HURRY UP.
Also need them to reboot the hell out of the X-verse.

When would he have had time to shop
Alfred brought some stuff down, IIRC, not having my @$!*% things in front of me. I like my reading. It suits the complete lack of sleep I got last night. (I can *feel* my skin doing that weird insomnia thing. It's both neat and ooky.)
Bart to do surveillance, unless one thinks he looks pretty in pink.
Snerk. Bart is such a little freakyhead.

Ack! I can't open Nightwing #81! And my dial-up is way too slow to re-download the zipped file. Will have to re-do it at work tomorrow. Crap.

Alfred brought clothes down for Dick to wear to the funeral -- I guess I was imagining that he changed back to the Nightwing gear post-funeral and that Alfred took the regular clothing back home.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi
Or he threw it in the trash. Either way. The point is, there's no reason for him to be in civvies while he's under constant attack -- I don't think you ever see Bruce out of the costume in NML, for example -- and given that it's people in Dick's life who are under attack, there's actually a positive reason for him NOT to appear in civvies.
