Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

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

Dick's in New York working as a model, where he is being Single White Femaled by Jason, who has a shiny, curvy knife and likes to use it on bad guys.

This is the Jason who magically came back from the dead, right?

I kind of get the SWF idea with the whole Robin thing, but...a model?

Yep. Superboy Prime punched him back to life.

Well, he *is* really, really ridiculously good-looking.

Not the way he's being drawn right now, he's not....

Didn't you read the ICSF&O?

Okay. True.

The Infinite Crisis of San Francisco and Oakland ? No, I haven't read anything new in close to a year now.

Thank you all for making my decision to drop DC in toto a relatively painless one. Sounds as if I jumped ship just in time.

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

Nightwing's been startlingly bad.

52, on the other hand, is much more fun than I was expecting.

There's a theory floating around the Interbunny that Nightwing (the title) is so kerfucked because after Infinite Crisis, the multiverse isn't exactly back, but it isn't exactly gone -- characters remember pre-COIE history, etc. And on 52thecomic.com, there's the Ask Prof. Expert "column" about a dude who now has 2 versions of his wife -- each from a different Earth version.

Anyway, the Nightwing theory is that there's more than one Dick Grayson running around the current DC-verse (New Earth?). So maybe the Dick Grayson in the Nightwing title isn't the same Dick Grayson that we, the reader, know from pre-OYL.

But what I want to know is, even if that's true, what version of Earth has a Zoolander version of Dick Grayson?!?

Also, which Dick is with the Outsiders? But that's not an OYL thing.
