Re: A Lonely Place of Dying
But again, that's more or less set dressing. If Tim had been shown making a big deal about such a thing, I'd cede the point, but he never does, he's almost embarrassed by it usually.
I don't recall Devin paying much attention to Dick being lower class, though I confess I have up on her run during the "Blockbuster wins, Dick has no friends" arc.
However, as with much of Devin Grayons's writing, there's the germ of a great idea in there, but usually handled with the delicacy of a rhino running through a small helpless kitten store. Dick was suddenly an ethnic Romany with angst about the likelihood of him ending up in jail like so many of his kin.
Now there would probably be an excellent story about Dick finding out more about his family, about what being a Romany might mean. Instead we get a teeth-grindingly annoying Romany grandpa who isn't, Batman being borderline racist, and random bouts of Night!angst.
