but Flash more than all of them seemed to fulfill the promise of sidekicks turning into heroes in their own right and eventually stepping into their mentor's roles.
More than Nightwing?
Kaylee: Captain seem a little funny to you at breakfast this morning? Wash: Come on, Kaylee. We all know I'm the funny one.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
More than Nightwing?
Yes.
Dick's a hero in his own right, but is still very much in Bruce's shadow. Also, though he did have his proving-himself-thing in Prodigal while pinch hitting, Dick? Still not Batman.

I'm trying to think of other sidekickereenos. Donna Troy? Roy? Yeah, I guess Wally qualifies as best in show.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
Anyone else read Y: The Last Man On Earth? And think it's just about the best thing since Sandman?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Anyone else read Y: The Last Man On Earth? And think it's just about the best thing since Sandman?
Yes, and no.
I do like it a lot, but I don't find it earthshaking.

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

I still haven't read Sandman, but I love Y. It rocks like Dokks.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I keep meaning to check out "Y".
ION, I'm rather chuffed to see so many other Blue Beetle fans out there.

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

Plei is me. The thing is, the reader knows they're never going to kill Bruce Wayne. Ever. So, while Nightwing may be a hero in his own right, he'll never be Batman for real. Barry dying and Wally taking on the mantle was pretty damn unique.

The writer of Y is an obvious Bowie freak, that always helps.
