PS: re Batman “No Case Just In Case” clause.

Stephen Dann — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 12:41:36 +0000

There’s no case for a case for Batman. After all, we can’t prove he’s really dead. No body in Gotham, and are we really going to accept mummified remains served Sunny(Dark)seid up as the Dead Batman From The Gotham Incident?

Besides. Mister Miracle got out of that Omega Death Dimension, and he doesn’t even have that whole track record of being killed repeatedly by the infinitely powerful Joker from Superman: Emperor Joker. (Yes, I remember that. Featured an awesome use of “Oof Sock and Pow”. Back in the day when you could rock the four colour panels. BACK IN THE DAY). Since Hypertime and FiniteCrisis on Infinite Crossover (Year Zero? I lost track) means all alternate universes are connected to the main timeline… it counts.

So. No corpse (there was a funeral for Steph with a body. A body Bruce forgot to validate was Steph’s. Not that a guy who had the whole “Well damn, looks like Jason’s coffin’s case was empty all along” would fall for the fake burial move twice. No sirree. Not twice. Not after carrying a DEAD JASON TODD out of the ruins of a factory… oh nevermind)

In short. Can’t be sure he’s dead, therefore, can’t justify a case

Don’t blame me, you’re the one who started it. We just wanted a memorial case, and you gave us the reason to deny a Batman-in-a-jar.

The Goddamn BatRobin Bobbin? WTF COSTUME?

Stephen Dann — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 12:26:57 +0000

One Part Batman, One Part Robin = No Part good idea

I will alway refer to the Batcowl + Robin costume as The Bobbin.

Okay. Okay. This is hard. I know you’re leaving me. You canned Robin, sacked Steph again (after only recently reinstating her in such a canon jarringly bad way), killed Bruce is such a hysterically bad way, canned Blue Beetle just before his big silver screen push and you’ve probably going to quit Booster Gold on me.

DC, we’ve been through some rough times, some good times, and now there’s this. You’ve made it clear you want to dump me, and this time, I’m out.

Screw you DC. I’m leaving you for medium with less painful stupidity, and better costume choices. I’m moving in with the daytime soap operas.

Designated Sidekick out.
