	I posted the variant cover as it is much better than the standard one. Here is the standard cover. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Dick I could understand making that comment but Tim? What does he know about girls? The only girl he's macked on in the last 2 years was his dead best friend's girlfriend who was only using him as a substitute. And judging by Batgirl, even Stephanie has a new love interest now.

	Interesting role-reversion with the bondage-Batman there. (Reply to this)

Oh Stirk, Stirk, Stirk, will you NEVER learn. Tying up your Batclan captive in fairylights and ballgagging them is SO 2006, and it looked better on Robin... as most forms of tying up do. Plus stealing the Joker's gags (literally) is not going to make you his buddy in Arkham...

The Tim/Bruce teasing is indeed fun, but the thing is, I can see this sort of teasing being an example of the role reversal in the current Batman and Robin, just WAIT until Dick finds out Damian has a crush on Steph, the kid will NEVER hear the end of it, or better yet Babs! :) Of course we may never see it, but I'd like to!

	I also love the cover ~~except there's strangely five Robins, and everyone knows there's only been four~~. Definitely getting a "which of these kids is not like the others, which of these kids just doesn't belong?" :) Whoa, Tim - when's the last time that head met with some shampoo and water? Spoiling nice fish! Give it to us raw and wriggling. You keep nasty chips. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	The Tim/Bruce banter scene is just wildly OOC for me. And Tim, why do you have Dick's hair now? So from the cover, does this mean Kevin Smith is going to take on Steph and Jason in this, too? Why do I get the feeling that Kevin Smith will either write Jason semi-well or basically like a huge pig? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Okay, there's having longer hair, and then there's "Achy Breaky Heart" territory, and Tim is firmly in that territory here. The last scan is pretty funny, though. :) (Reply to this) (Thread)

	They sure enjoy bondage themes. 3goodtimes 2009-11-03 03:14 am UTC (link)
	Kevin's Smith's writing is sometimes very much in his voice and not always in the characters' (maybe I notice that more because I hear him on his podcast so often). However, this issue seems to be an improvement on the last two. Still not willing to dish out cash for it. Yay torrents. I like Tim's Nightwing hair. (Reply to this)
