anyone else done with batman and robin 12 and red robin 12?
i really hope when bruce comes back that he assumes a more batman beyond-esque role rather than giving dick the boot. it would feel so cheap otherwise. i feel like grayson has earned the fuck out of that mantle and it would be a shame to fuck him off so quickly. i know 'passing the mantle' has been done to death lately but dc have always handled it relatively well, and i feel like this was the best move they've made in relation to the bat-family in years. the whole set-up is new, with dick, damian, babs, tim and steph, but there's a really classic feeling to it. steph obviously evokes babs in the batgirl costume a lot more than an illiterate mute ever would (don't get me wrong, i loved the cassandra character; terrible stories though). i like that it really is, in more ways than one, a bat-family. sure, they were collectively referred to as that under bruce, but he was so cold, y'know? the most emotion you got out of him would be a sly little proud smile to himself if tim impressed him or dick surprised him or something. it was a much more "manly" kind of father figure.
i dunno, that post got real stream of consciousnessy there. my b.
