Haven't read BftC #2 yet. Am going to pick up Batman Confidential, may p/u BftC. Don't know yet.
Also Dick getting in trouble for Lance's antics. Honestly, not since Opie Taylor has a kid's father been more willing to believe the worst of a kid with better character.
Heh:) I know. *shakes head* Love that Dick's excuse is 'growing pains'. And that Bruce is like, "Get yourself together, young man! We risk both our lives every night! I can't have a crimefighting partner who plays crinkle fender with my new car!
Then there's Bruce's great testaments of love for everybody. Lance's dad is the best he ever knew. Except his dad who was the bestest best! And Dick means more to him than anything in life! And Bruce is just the greatest guy ever--just ask Dick! Awwww!
It's the love testaments that got me in this one. Plus, Neal Adams' Bruce just slays me. In the good way. Although Also, Bruce's costume still seems to be in its plastic bag from the dry cleaners. Heh. Although I am surprised to see Neal Adams draw the Batsuit on a hanger looking quite like that. Heh. Cleaners must be it. And I love the pink tights still attached.
