Ooh, that's interesting. I'm such a dork, though-- my first reaction to
2) During a visit to the Batcave, Babs looks at her old costume and remarks to Bruce "I see you sewed up the bullet holes."

Dorkity dork dork dork.

Me, too! I'm right there with you in dorkitude.

Ah. Oops. Didn't realize that.
Ah. Oops. Didn't realize that.
In fact, at the time she was shot, she'd essentially hung up her costume and retired. The joke of it was that Joker didn't know who he was shooting, other than Gordon's daughter.
Crap. Anyone want to talk about the latest issue of Batman? I need to stop spamming Mary's comments in her LJ, and I'm just burning to discuss
Bruce's fears and projection of them onto a hallucination Jason.
PMM, Bruce has
a hallucination?
That doesn't sound like a good grasp on reality.

Hey now!
Supervillan toxins are *not* Bruce's fault. Though, of course, one could argue that *what* he sees and the conversations he has do indicated a bit about his level of fucked-puppydom.
Let your freak flag fly, Bruce. Without the villain, where would you be?
Reading the Supes/Bats Generations crap (Byrne used to be good, right? Can someone remind me when?) he's just so damned chipper the whole time (I think he mentions offhand that having a Robin took the edge off, so it's pink puppies for everyone). He quite casually hallucinates/is visited by the ghost of Alfred. And they completely don't go into that. I mean, if it's not a hallucination, the implication is that Alfred will serve Bruce forever, beyond death. Which is awful. None of the other dead people appear to him, just poor Alfred who probably thought he could finally get a vacation.
Let your freak flag fly, Bruce.
I think I'd like to tag this, if I may.
Let me go grab my copy of it. . . did you think they drew Tim so v. child-like because of the Jason-hallucination?. I'm not very familiar with how Jason was drawn -- before -- was he always more adult looking?
