The main appeal of NML for me is that its Jim Gordon is so the Gordon of the movie.
Oh, I agree with you on that, but Gordon isn't going to seem as key of a character (in the movie) to a tyro -- at least, not compared to Brucie boy.
I don't give a good gorram about relevant, Wash. Or objective. And I ain't so afraid of losing something that I ain't gonna try to have it. You and I would make one beautiful baby. And I want to meet that child one day. Period.

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

Yeah, I guess. The thrill of squeeing "Isn't he perfect!" is geekery beyond his capabilities right now.

tyro?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Like...tyrosine?
I guess it's down to him and the bodyguard from Murderer.
I liked her.
tyro?
Beginner.
What's the etymology?
The other good thing about NML is it's my only exposure to comic Scarecrow.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I figured out the definition in context, but what's the derivation?

Houghton Mifflin sez:
Medieval Latin t[ymacr]rō, squire, variant of Latin tīrō, recruit
M-W.com sez:
Medieval Latin, from Latin tiro young soldier, tyro

So it's an actual word. Huh.
In Greek mythology, Tyro was the daughter of Salmoneus and mother of Pelias and Neleus. Her father, Salmoneus, was the brother of Athamus.
Great! I don't know who any of those people are.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Huh. Never heard the word. I assumed it was some fandom abbreviation. Once again, the Buffistas prove that they are not merely entertainment, but edutainment.
