If Winick writes him, I'll geek out with joy. If Morrison continues like this, I'll be really happy, because it seems like Dick gives a damn but is cautious, which is how it really should have been from day one.

I don't know if Winick will get the chance to write him, since the brain trust at DC has decided Tony Daniels should be writing the Batman book. Yeaaaah. I mean his art's great, but his writing... UGH.

Also, did you notice it seems like Morrison is ignoring the whole "shot Damian in the chest thing"? That's at least the impression I got.

I'm glad Morrison was looking forward to writing Jason. He's a complex character and I just recently re-read BftC. It was so incredibly cliche and over the top. I mean, Daniels pretty much turned Jason into a one-note villain with barely any complexity. Why? Anti-heroes are so much more fun.

Oh, I agree, totally enjoying Scarlet so far. When I read a reviewer say they'd love to see a mini of Red Hood based on the interaction between him and Scarlet alone, I thought that was absolutely kick-ass. I hope it happens (and Winick writes it?! Maybe!?!)

I don't feel as angry with TD now I understand the reasoning. He had to get from point A to point B and while it wasn't good, it's over and I'm hoping we can all just move on.

I sort of liked the shot. All Robins have been tested - Dick with being beaten by Two-Face, Jason by the Joker and Tim by Jason himself - so I rather hope it is touched upon as a lesson. That he is a child and children do die like that. It's crazy but workable crazy.

Daniel thinks Jason is a one-note villain (have you seen the disasterous interview? yeeesh). I'm hoping he stays away from him. He can show up in Batgirl instead.

Winick, Johns and Morrison have done the best jobs thus far so I can't wait for the next three issues. It's all very exciting and I hope to see more of both Jason and Scarlet in coming issues.

You really like his art? I cannot stand it. All the female characters wear thongs and high heels, and he personally convinced the editors that I've-Been-Shot-In-The-Stomach-Twice Helena should always wear the bare-midriff costume.

While extreme fanservice is common in comics, Daniels takes it to an especially idiotic and tasteless extreme.

	Eh, I mean he's talented art-wise, you've got to give him that. It was silly to see Dinah's costume wedged all the way up her butt for no reason whatsover, but he doesn't take it to near the extreme of Guillem March. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sorry, but I don't. I really don't like his art at all. (Reply to this) (Parent)
