Alfred laughs because he is unaccustomed to pacifying a neurotic batman.

That talked with Alfred totally cracked me up. I love that he was barely keeping himself from laughing from the start, and the way that I imagine Dick saying all his lines while striking hyper dramatic poses because damn, the wrong uniform is just killing him. And I love that Alfred says that it's not that Dick's Batman gives him any more than he's used to handling, it's just a different set of luggage.

I will say that I'm still surprised at Alfred being okay with Damian awake and waiting to train with Dick at 4:30 AM. It seems like Alfred should be trying to get this kid on a more regular schedule. So he just stays up all night and sleeps during the day? Somewhere? Because he doesn't have to go to school, Alfred just occasionally talks about lessons he (Alfred) is supposed to give him?

	Actually, this isn't bad. And Alfred hasn't smiled this much in a while. (Reply to this)

... okay, that's actually pretty good. I'm still way too pissed with DC over BftC to buy any more Batman until they fix what they did to Jason (and then added insult to injury by making Tony frickin' Daniel the new Batman writer- I mean, what?), but it's nice to know that they can still have a decent issue every now and again.

The new costume thing is an interesting issue- I'd never even thought about it, but it would be a problem, wouldn't it?

	Here's a funny thought, what if we all bought Winick's Batman then dropped the book like a rock when Daniel takes over to send a message to DC? Could we move in te kind of numbers to make that happen? I mean, Batman was one of the Batbooks I couldn't give a damn about, but this actually looks a lot better than I was expecting.

	I haven't read the rest of the issue yet but, based on this, I am so pissed about the writer change-up! (Reply to this)

	How is Damien? Like 9? Is it even physically possible for a kid that young to have abs that defined? Or is the (rubber?) suit molded like that to make him feel better about himself? Dick being that defined, on the other hand...mmmm.... Also the line "Alfred laughs because he [is] unaccustomed to pacifying a neurotic batman" made me lol in real life. (Reply to this) (Thread)
