So…

How many days til Damian comes back like every other comic book character?

If Damian is truly dead, I give it four to six months, tops. Sales will dwindle. Fans will stay mad. People will criticize the new choice of Robin. DC will cave.

Although, they’ve been content to ignore us all in the past, but this is a foul move and I don’t think it will take very long for Damian to return in one form or another.

I’m betting on Talia stealing Damian’s body without Bruce’s permission and re-animating him in the Lazarus Pit; leading to her raising him herself again, ala Brotherhood Of The Bat style. Keeping the fact he’s alive from Bruce with a big fall out.

Either way. I won’t be touching any Batman story if Harper becomes Robin. That’s just insulting.

Don’t forget this happened.

This was one of those things I thought of when I was falling asleep 〜(￣△￣〜) i regret nothing

That gif…eeee!

Hrm I have ambivalent feelings towards these two.

This is so beautiful. The blue of Jason’s eyes is especially gorgeous; and I love the soft, seductive look in Talia’s half-lidded gaze. Wonderful work.

Let’s just take a moment and appreciate four of the only individuals ever to hit Bruce “the Goddamn Batman” Wayne in the face and get away with it, shall we?

All four of these characters are Made of Awesome and I defy anyone who says otherwise. ;-)

I also love the fact that Dick and Steph, who so often get characterized as “the Nice Ones” by fandom, are the only* two Batkids ever to just get completely fed up with Bruce’s nonsense and decide to literally smack some sense into him. I love it. Because yeah, Dick and Steph are both sweet and warm and lovely, and that’s a huge part of who they are, but they’ve also both got serious tempers, and they are not to be trifled with, and if you push either of them far enough, they’re not going to keep playing nice with you, Batman or no. And I think that’s a side of both of them which tends to get overlooked a lot.

Also, someone really needs to get Talia out of Grant Morrison’s clutches and restore her to her former awesome. Just saying.

*To the best of my knowledge. If I’m wrong about that, please feel free to correct me.

**Also, for the record, I do like Bruce and I am definitely NOT in favor of violence in relationships. But you can’t deny that Bruce really does deserve a smack sometimes. He’s a good person at heart, I really believe that, but man alive, he can be an epic jerk at times, and he’s put the people closest to him through a lot. Can’t blame ‘em for snapping every now and then.

Talia x Bruce scans from Arkham Unhinged #39

Semi NSFW? 

Can I just say how much I love Talia’s silky hair? It looks just like the Bruce Timm design from Batman TAS. Gorgeous.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: John is Dick’s middle name. It was his father’s name. Blake means, dually, ‘dark’ and ‘pale’ (i.e gray) and also ‘son of the lake’ (son). Couple it with a reference to the comics in which Dick was a cop during the early run of Nightwing, plus Nolan’s cheeky remark of “No Robin” remains in place. Nightwing is no longer Robin, is he?

Edit: Also, Dark Son. Son of the Dark Knight?

They’ve been giving it away for months, darlings.

Preview of Batman, Inc. #2 - “something for the girls” says Morrison

dcwomenkickingass:

USA Today has an interview with Grant Morrison about Batman, Inc. #2 which will focus on Talia al Ghul: 

Grant Morrison focuses on the femme fatale Talia al Ghul in the new issue of his relaunched Batman Incorporated series for DC Comics, an origin story that’s “one for the girls,” the writer says with a laugh.

“We get to see how she became the woman she is and what it’s like to be the privileged daughter of one of the most important and dangerous men in the world.”

“Something for the girls”? Silly Grant Morrison, girls don’t read comics! 

I’m very interested to read this as I haven’t been a fan of Morrison’s treatment of Talia in his Batman arc. Whatever nuance that character had under other writers (including Judd Winick) has, to date, been eradicated under Morrison who writes her as various levels of revenge filled evil. (I did a post about that here.) But that may change with this issue.

“She has to have a point of view, even if it is slightly megalomaniacal. You can see in issue 2 how she was framed by her father and how he brought her up and how that then reflected on Damian and so on, and it’s a tragedy through generations,” he adds.

“Where do you finally pull the plug on something like that? It’s more of a human story than maybe the stuff we’ve done before.”

And it seems her origin is also, in typical Morrison way, a hat tip to another origin. Here’s a panel from tomorrow’s issue:

You think he might be drawing parallels between them?
