Is there NOTHING this guy doesn't make sexy? :)
Dick Grayson really is astounding, the man for all seasons (and fetishes).

He's appealing to women and men, and the hetero and homo flavours of both. He looks great in heroic poses and adorable when tied up. And yet, there's been one little area, just one, quite popular amongst certain folk in this community, where he's never had a chance to shine... that's about to change...

When browsing along past aintitcool, I saw a reference to a newly release Super Friends DVD set, The Lost Episodes, those 6 and 7 minute episodes which were made before several series, but which didn't actually get shown until the mid 1990's as part of another show.

I'd never heard of it, so went looking through the episode descriptions and came across one episode which has reference to our hero being transformed into... a catboy!

Yup, Dick FINALLY ticks the Furries box!

He's scratched by an accidentally created werecat (research scientists should never be cat people), whose claws cut right through his glove.

The change is pretty instantaneous...

Ooh, looks like he might need a shave now...

Strangely, his eyes become visible when he goes cat...

And now we have Dick Grayson... or perhaps in this case Tom Grayson, the Black Panther Wonder

The change is more than cosmetic, as Robin sides with the catpeople who want to spread the kitty love....

And he's not too pleased when Batman tries to stop him (It does actually prove that this incarnation of Dick doesn't wear tights.)

Tell me Batman isn't LOVING his little romp with his furry little buddy here, we can see his smile... To him, it's like Catwoman and the Teen Wonder in one strokeable package! I bet he's picturing him curled up in front of the fire, wearing nothing by the cape, and a little collar with a bell on it...and possible pixie bootees for special occasions, and tickling him behind the ear... the rest I leave to your imagination.

Robin and the two scientists on the prowl....

Batman develops a cure, but Robin and the cats knock it out of his hands...

And Batman gets scratched himself, though not by Robin...

But this only being a short, the assistance of the incredibly camp "El Dorado" manages to deliver the antidote to our heroes and Robin shifts back from feline to primate.

To see the episode for yourself, check this link out.

And to keep the Superfriends theme going, here's a nice little portrait of the Teen Wonder by Super Friends comic artist par excellence, Ramona Fradon.

And for legality, and keeping the theme going, a picture from a 1970's Batman Family where Batgirl and Robin are about to be attacked by Man-Bat, who has been turned into a were-jaguar.

Have you read the Robin novel I, Werewolf? It was published about the time Tim Drake was introduced into the comics, and the art shows his costume. However, Robin's real name is never mentioned, and there's another boy named Tim in the story, which makes me think the text was originally drafted for Dick, Jason, or a generic Robin.

In any event, that Robin takes a werewolf potion as a way to help out a friend.

	I did read that, I'd forgotten all about it, and there's this image too, which doesn't actually happen in the story.... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Covers like this make me wonder why so many folks worry over preview covers that show provocative scenes, like (to take a recent example) Tim/Red Robin alongside Ra's al Ghul. By now we should all have learned through bitter disappointment or profound relief that it doesn't necessarily happen that way inside. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	sigh Great, you've now managed to ruin both werewolfism and cat-personism with the rancid taint of Robin-suck. Keep it up and I may lose my very will to live. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If it offends you THAT much, why bother clicking on a post which clearly features him strongly? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I'm contrary that way. If I think something sucks, the more people who fawn over it the more urge I have to wade in and blast it. Dick Grayson is the Justin Timberlake of the DCU, adored by millions, utterly mainstream, and everything I cannot stand. Thus, I rebel against everything he stands for and all his fans. If you don't like my opinion, you're free to ignore it you know.

	So basically, you're just trying to stir shit up? Well, that's honest at least. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Not stir shit up, really, just log a protest vote. Especially when you sprinkle your posts liberally the assumptions that everybody, just EVERYBODY! loves this utterly mainstream thing. It invokes my counterculture streak to pipe up and say "umm, not everybody pal". (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mod hat: WARNING. skalja 2009-08-13 06:30 pm UTC (link)
	Okay, enough. This is your SECOND OFFICIAL WARNING. This is what they call a "second strike" and you are now suspended from the community for the next fourteen days, after which you will be allowed to return. Please note that if you receive one further warning you will lose the ability to post on this community. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	We also got an entire werewolf (Well, the male side) team in Young Justice. Ofcourse, these were just jerky werewolf punks in costumes. Thankfully the others found out you can defeat werewolves by dumping Nair on them. (Reply to this) (Parent)
