Capes take effort! Apparently, on the set of the new Batman movie, there are people assigned to keep Bale's cape clean, and other people assigned to keep it billowy. The fluffers of the superhero film, as it were.

Yeah, I think the previous Schumacher Batman had a codpiece buffer too.

I applied for the nipple polisher job.

Proof once again that no one can make the Bat-canon gay-pornier than it really is already. Sigh.

Eggs and lox!

Plei said, re the new Catwoman issue:

Am I the ONLY person who spent the part where Selina wakes up on the couch trying to figure out why she's on the couch and where her clothing went? I mean, there's a perfectly good bed, and the coffee mugs were RIGHT THERE. Sigh.

Yeah. This is sort of like in Nightwing, when he's constantly waking up on Babs's couch the morning after a romantic scene. Fully clothed. At least Selina got to be nekkid!

And, really, anyone who read both the new Robin and the new Catwoman and can't figure out why Bruce is in a good mood in the former? Hasn't read the latter closely enough.

See, I read Robin first. Clearly a mistake. Another WTF for me, as I was explaining my WTF to a pal at work (he agreed with me)--If you're gonna get a sheet out, use the damned bed. Unless you just don't want to disturb the cats. Or have a couch kink. Or something.

I'm starting to suspect that couches are to comics what twin beds were to old sitcoms.

Is the new Batgirl (next week's) related to this week's Robin? (I saw over on DC that it is a X-Over.)

I read an interview with (I think) Geoff Johns, in which he said that, in the previous Teen Titans title, it was a BIG deal to have a panel that showed (unmarried) Dick and Kory waking up in bed together.

I think it must be.

Plei, here's an actually half-plausible explanation for you: Bruce went into the bedroom for the sheet to cover her with when he had to leave for the Batsignal. Call it a caring gesture.

I can't figure out how to make the "no, Batman is an urban legend! Honest!" line of secret-identity defense, seen in many recent titles, make sense with the Batsignal, even given Gotham Central's excellent attempt to work it out. Some things you clearly have to let go of.

It's related to the overall storyline of Robin, as in Steph as Robin, but is it a direct storyline link to that particular issue, no.

Some comics have a preview issue shipped early, and I flipped through the Batgirl preview.

It gives you some insight into Steph, and brings back up the tenative friendship between Steph and Batgirl, but that is it.
