	It's funny because Terry is the only one that's actually his son. (Animated canon, anyway...) (Reply to this)

...you know, it's weird, but this somehow is an absolutely awesome companion to "Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader." I mean, the tone is completely different, obviously, but the basic message is SO much the same that they just *fit* together.

I know DC hates to use anything that wasn't vouchered as work-for-hire before the work began, but maybe, just maybe, if we're lucky, they might buy the rights to this and include it in the trade that WHttCC will be in...

	Well, I like Terry's cooking! Perfect, as always! Terry's face as he tosses out the Box O' Morrison made me laugh out loud. I love Batman and Sons SO much. You know what? I just realized it's my favorite Bat Comic. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Oh Black Cat. You're so awesome. I love how Terry's all smiley until his indifference at Grant Morriosn comes up and then his shuddering at Frank Miller. (Reply to this)

Awwwwwwwwwww, this is so perfect. I fact, it breaches that barrier beyond perfect. Does Black Cat ever post here? All I know is that is he/she should be running DC and not Didio.

I laughed in my seat at the Grant Morrison joke, I think a few too many people are taking that too seriously. I haven't liked Grant's run (anything that screw over the Al Ghuls characters for good deserves my cold shoulder) but ultimately, like it or not, a lot of his plot points wouldn't exist without random old stories, so I laughed.

I only noticed the second time reading (because one time is not enough to take in the full awesome)that the names change each time. That is so clever, and I loved seeing artists like Tim Sale, Dustin Nguyen and Mike Mignola there. Matt Wagner's inclusion made me happy too. I'm so glad Bill Finger go a mention too.

Ultimately though this is so cute, I love Terry's monologue, it is so adorable and true, especially the end that had a little tear in my eye.

About the Morrison bit. It's a joke, and it did make me laugh. You know, because it's got the set up of Bob Kane *elicits nostalgic happy thank-you for creating him (along with Bill Finger)*; Denny O'Neil !!! (Thank you, Black Cat!) *elicits feelings of awesome happy for me...*

Then Bam! The One-Two punchline. Unexpected and a bit naughty. I mean that it's controversial to criticize the current writer of Batman. And, along with Miller, the two biggest current influences on the character and his universe at the moment. Which makes it funnier. Coupled with Baby Terry who always makes me smile, anyway, his little incredibly expressive face is fantastic. So much expression in a masked, pacifier-using baby is phenomenal.

I was thinking about the Morrison punchline, and Black Cat could have gone for something we absolutely all agree on, like the Batman and Robin movie that we don't mention around here. You know, the one with Clooney and O'Donnell.

99% of the people who read this webcomic would agree that they also do not care for that movie, but that would not have made me laugh out loud.

I also like way each panels ingredients are grouped by era. As said upthread, the details are wonderful.

	I like how P.O'd Terry looks in that third panel - clearly, the Black Cat has been asked questions about his identity one too many times. (Reply to this)
