Xander ,'Get It Done'
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much anything else that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Dick Grayson discovered the batcave and convinced Batman to train him to be his partner.
Well, doesn't that depend upon which timeline you read? I mean, back in the original day, he was taken in and became Robin from day one.
Of course, alternate histories would explain why Dark Knight Strikes Back was so hated - having never followed any Dick Grayson comics I could be really amused by the ending to that series.
You *must* get Batgirl: Year One.
You know, I almost bought this in the bookstore yesterday. I called Plei's phone to ask her opinion but didn't get an answer; so I passed it by. Oops.

Yes, this.
With all characters, the interesting-ness of them is where they go against character because it makes you wonder why and opens up the layers. If all characters were predictable - fiction would be boring. I wrote a short piece for a class that had a man with terrible teeth and bad breath but immaculately manicured fingernails. I didn't even notice it, that was just him in my mind. The class called me on it saying I had not kept the character true but our professor defended it with the points above. That was the best class I ever took - studying writing has added so much depth to my enjoyment of types of storytelling.

Comics canon makes my head go all hurty.

This would have been a great defence for Christ Carter: "Hey! Compared to comics, we're almost coherent."
Uh-huh. Who brought this up first (albeit my comparison was to the animated Robin I)?? Huh? Say my name!
Feh. Animated (moreTimthanDick) Robin remains unWeslike, but Nightwing's AWFULLY scruffy at the moment. IJS.

Yeah, my brain manages to make it through Pre/Post Crisis, but after that, it's all a mess.

I'm always Post-Crisis, unless specifically stated. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

Heh. You reading "Outsiders" at the moment? You should.

Fine, fine. I'll add it to the crack bag.
Shit, this is worse than cigarettes in terms of cost.
Fine, fine. I'll add it to the crack bag.
Nightwing as field leader. Arsenel as (at the moment slightly wounded) "business manager." Huntress shutting Grayson down by telling him, "It just pisses you off that you want to do me."
And Black Lightning proving why he is SO much cooler than most of what's come after him.
You'll love it.
