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.

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

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.

You know, that works for me. Also, I have decided that while he was at it, he scooped up her clothing and took it to the bedroom for her.

Hey, all you old people, I'm curious what the reaction was to Wally shacking up with a married woman with a few years on him back in the day.

As long as he slept on the couch, I'm sure it was fine...

I'd have to flip back, but I'm pretty sure they had an actual bed. Though they may have worn PJs as a Couch Alternative.

Was this back in the early days of the revamped Flash title, when he had a rep for slutdom that put Brian Kinney to shame?

Back when Wally was a ho?

Yeah.

I recall rolling my eyes that the cuckolded husband just happened to become a new super-villain, but I don't remember anyone being particularly outraged about Wally's actions.

From IMDb:

The full cast of anticipated movie The Fantastic Four is expected to be announced next week, with actor Michael Chiklis remaining as favorite for the role of The Thing. The movie, which follows the exploits of mutant astronauts Reed Richards, Susan Storm Richards, Benjamin Grimm and Johnny Storm, better known as Mr. Fantastic, the Invisible Woman, The Thing and the Human Torch - will begin filming in August). Producer Avi Arad, who will bring the Marvel Comics favorites to the big screen, is expected to make the public announcement about the movie, which will be helmed by Barbershop director Tim Story. Fantastic Four creator Stan Lee says, "Chiklis is tough and rugged, yet he has a likable quality - and that's The Thing." Mean Girls star Rachel McAdams is emerging as a likely choice to play Sue Storm. Arad hints, "She's be great. We like her a lot."

Who then, like MOST Flash SVs, reforms. And becomes a good guy.

And gets the wife back.

Flash is the oddest comic.
