Just one more reason that the DCAU titles seem, in many ways, to be the best, purest distillation of the DC universe.

The best part here is the 'I was under oath, what could I do?' part from Bruce. It's such a great statement about the character.

I'm always confused about the tags when it comes to DCAU Robin. He has Tim Drake's name, but as a character he basically is Jason Todd, isn't he?

He has Jason Todd's backstory. But his characterization isn't really either.

Pretty much. Street kid whose dad was killed when working for Two-Face.

the way I understand it, DCAU Tim has the traits of both Tim and Jason.

Hmmm... the juror who claimed to be Batman is saved by a solo Robin...

How often do owners of majore multinational corporations get picked for jury duty? Honestly?

Everybody is eligible for jury selection—it's random. Bruce Wayne just didn't provide a reason to opt out.

As often as everybody else. President Bush was summoned to Jury Duty WHILE HE WAS A STANDING PRESIDENT. He immediately opted out, just like many CEOs doubtless opt out, by stating that jury duty would impact his work too severely (which if proven to be material, is a perfectly acceptable reason under the law). The Governor of Iowa was called for jury duty in 2008 and followed the protocol of going and waiting, though he wasn't selected.

Jury duty selection is normally quite random and being called up for jury duty doesn't even mean, necessarily, that you'll be called for jury selection. Of the three times I've been called, I've only served on a jury once. Many large urban locations now let you just call to see if you're even actually needed that particular day. If you look at the jury roles in Los Angeles, you'll see plenty of famous names.

The main reason you don't see many powerful and rich CEOs on the jury roles is two-fold: first off, they can legitimately make a case that they couldn't serve on a jury without having an adverse effect on their job and their company. Second, many cases would automatically make them a poor choice during jury selection - any business case holds the chance to be prejudicial for that CEO, for example, and the chance for a conflict of interest can be great.

This showing up in a mainstream DC book would end at the jury scene, with Bruce Wayne faking being drunk and loudly hitting on a female juror.

God, DCAU is so great.

To be fair, Bruce's actions in mainstream would be far more moral than what he's doing here.

By serving on the jury, he's denying a man his basic right to a fair trial.

I mean sure, it's depicted as fine here because the guy is guilty and apparently has a hair trigger, but Batman is still actively working against the principle of innocent until proven guilty. What he's doing is really deeply immoral.

I agree. Cute nod to 12 Angry Men with some of the story, deeply immoral in other parts.

I'll actually be reporting for jury duty in about three hours. And now, dammit, I'll be hard-pressed not to use Mr. Wayne's response should I make it to voir dire.

12 Angry Men (or women, as is the case), starring Bruce Wayne!
And is it just me or do Tim's eyes almost look scared as he's kicking the guy?
