Need to go to comic store tomorrow.
Huh. That's what's going on with Ultimate NIghtmare? I called that, like, at the beginning, but then discounted it. Huh.
A gymnast's body, a tragic past and the inability to say, "No"?
Yeah, that about sums it up.
Wash: Captain, didn't you know kissin' girls makes you sleepy? Mal: Well sometimes I just can't help myself.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I think we need to further explore what intrinsic flaw in Dick's character makes him a massive ho-bag.
He's incredibly needy and so the slightest glimmer of interest from anyone sets off his "Lovemelovemeloveme!!! Must...Make...You...Love...Me!" response.
I don't think it's conscious at all, but damn, is that boy needy.
In fact, while trying to decribe to my co-worker the NW arc that culminated in NW #93 (with -- somehow -- a tangent off to War Games and how everyone Tim Drake even glances at gets iced these days), I realized that at this specific moment in Bat-time, I really think that both Birdboys are more fucked in the head than Batman is.
I think Batman still wins the Fucked-Up Sweepstakes, but that's a cumulative thing. When looking at it by pulling out slices of time, Tim and Dick are so much more fucked up right now than Bruce is.
Though that's not to say that Bruce is *normal.* Not at all. No, he's still Crazy Flying Rodent Man. It's just that -- the Blockbuster debacle wore Dick down to one tiny frayed nerve, which then snapped and fell into battery acid, and Tim -- well, like I said, Tim is like the fucking Grim Reaper lately.
Does that sound about right, or am I totally off the mark?

From Popcultureshock.com's "Teen Titants #20 Remix. Funny, but in terrible taste:
Robin: "Least dad went out in style. He died doing what he loved: Killing Australian people."
ETA: direct link to page, instead of the graphic.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Victor, that link doesn't work. I think you need to go to the entire page.

I still get a forbidden message.

OK, weird. I click on the link, and I get the page. Not sure what's up.

I can see it fine on my link, but the link straight to the JPEG tells me "You do not have permission to access the requested file on this server."

Ah, well. Changed it. That should fix the problem.
