I hate it.
I HAVE been thinking about more to add on here and actually spending a lot of time wrapped around that, but you don't get that info yet.
I just wanted to share how recently I discovered just how deep in the pits of the surreality of Gotham I am.
Today I handed someone a comic to read. THey had randomly picked up one of the many I have from the library which was Cataclysm. I finished it this morning, and must admit I wasn't impressed. So when I saw someone pick it up I panicked and said: "I have some better comics for you to read if you would like!" way more excited than I should be to show of my comics.
So we go back to my room where my meager shelf of Batman TPB's are and I pull for them The Resurrection of Ra's Al Ghul, since one of my other friends had it as their first Batman comic and could follow along fair enough.
And then comes the climax - I had to explain who Tim Drake was.
Regardless, when I read this it was my first introduction to actual Tim and had to do some research of my own. But I did have to give a full history of the Robins.
Including Nightwing.
Which was a FUCKING PAIN
But I did get to realize something - I am so far from Earth about Batman that I consider Robin lore to be separate from Batman...
THis could be due to the fact of:
a) Bruce is dead
b) Dick is Batman
c) Dick has made a name for himself out of the shadow of the Bat
d) there have been 5 (or so) Robins
This image is by eiko-chan and I have no right in using it but I do like sharing her art - I am a huge muthafuckin fan of her DC stuff and if DC had any smarts they'd get her a job. All I's sayin...
+ her actual website, check it out!
