Batman is a punk rocker.

Hi guys! Here's another pop culture reference brought to you by the letter B! From Robin #152.

Gotta love Brucie in suspenders. Heehee.

Anyway, I've been looking for Robin back issues, since I'm working on my readings on the Bat family. I've been collecting issues penciled by Freddie Williams II, and been having fun with them, and I'd like to read more. I know (and trust) you guys would know what's crap and what's not, so any suggestions on what should I read? Thanks, you're all so great!

	Alfred's reaction doesn't work. The Clash are way too musically inoffensive for it, especially that song. Could have picked better and preserved both the joke and my willing suspension of disbelief. This feels like a writer trying to hard to make his characters look hip (though it falls flat enough that Tim looks like a total dork for it, which is perfectly in-character!). (Reply to this)
