how Cass and Tim are, put together, the ideal aspects of Batman (Cass, for her fighting skillz and Tim for his freaky obsessive detective skillz).
Does that make Dick his moral center?
Book: I am a Shepherd. Folks like a man of God. Mal: No, they don't. Men of God make everyone feel guilty and judged.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Does that make Dick his moral center?
Nah. Moral center is Leslie. And Jim Gordon. Dick is the thing what keeps him tied to the world of the humans even when he really doesn't want to be.
And it's just possible I've thought about this way too freakin' much.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Does that make Dick his moral center?
Maybe his chewy nougat centre.
I picked up a copy of Batman & Superman recently -- the one where Supergirl "dies." Bats is saying he thought Superman's response to her being threatened is how he'd have responded to hearing that Jason wasn't dead, and that he had to protect him, but then changed his mind and said it was more like him and Dick and the letting go.
Then Superman apologised for the Jason barb, and Batman said it was okay.
How incredibly frustrating to not have had the in-title backstory to muddle through those analogies, and I'd love to know what the barb was.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

My head, and I curse you for this, just mapped Dick on Dawn and pictured Bruce as Buffy.
Which was fine, until I started remaking Smashed and my brain decided to cast the Spectre (Hal version) as Spike, and now I can't find the bleach and scrubbers.

At your service, madam.
The Spike/Hal bit, however, is totally your own responsibility.
Anyway, isn't he more Angel? I mean, We are the Spectre. Vengeance calls. Victims cry out for justice. Blah, blah, blah..

Hal and Spike are tied for the fancrazy awards, though. Besides, Hal's more like Spike personality-wise, all cocky and shit.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
and pictured Bruce as Buffy.
Batman: Criminals are a cowardly and superstitious lot.
Nightwing: Ah, yeah. Look, Bruce--that speech? Much more convincing if you weren't wearing heels.
Robin: How does he fight crime in those, anyway?
Nightwing: I think that's why he's the superhero and we're the sidekicks.
Batman: You just don't understand my pain.

Oh, sure. Just because he was a test pilot.
