What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Who is this little boy in the Robin suit?

I thought that was Tim, cause otherwise I had no clue either.

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

('twas a deliberately clueless question -- I'm saying he doesn't feel like the Tim I've read recently, and that I like Fugitive!Tim better)

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

twas a deliberately clueless question -- I'm saying he doesn't feel like the Tim I've read recently, and that I like Fugitive!Tim better

Recent!Tim is Willingham's NotLikeTim!Tim. Well, in his own title. He's always been a little different in groups. Fugitive!Tim is the Tim We Love.

Ah, okay. It was a deeper "Who?"

Yeah, he's pretty cool and detective-y and doubt-y here.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Fugitive!Tim is the Tim We Love.

I'm also fond of Teen Titans Tim. A little grittier, even less trusting of the Bat than he is in Murderer/Fugitive. Actually, Titans!Tim seems to be a reasonable evolution from Murderer/Fugitive!Tim, w/r/t the creepy obsessive detective skillz.

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

I know folks had been carping about some bad Bat!Writing, but I didn't have perspective -- I think Willingham!Tim is about all I know. Outside of groups, but it's hard to know if Titans or IC Tim is the real deal because of all the variables.

Well, until today.

I just finished book 1, and I'm nervous about book 2, because I have no 3.

But there's no way I'll go to sleep without reading it.

Of course, I'm falling in love with Cass all over again. Her hero worship is so desperate.

And that last bit, the one where the dying detective asks Batman to solve the Wayne murders? So transparently manipulative.

Also, effective.

I just finished book 1, and I'm nervous about book 2, because I have no 3.

I'm still in the first half or so of Book 2, which is kind of weird because it's about Batman chasing poisoned heroin or something, which comes out of nowhere. I miss the rest of the gang.

Of course, I'm falling in love with Cass all over again. Her hero worship is so desperate.

And she's so adorable! Loved the nerve strike issue.

Also, effective.

I think I sighed with relief and smiled at the end of that.

As is his blind spot for her, like we discussed last night. (The scene on the rooftop? Manoman.)

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

All Cass's fragility is carefully concentrated. Oh, she'll knock Steph out without hesitation, get clocked to help illustrate her point (the lesser among us might work on our language skills and just explain...) but she's so shaken and vulnerable about the possible imperfection of Batman.

Reading this is making me more pissed about War Games. Why would I want to read the TPBs of that? Pfft.

eta:

The scene on the rooftop? Manoman.

Oh, YES.
