reference - batman

For my own reference.

Jason Todd, and my own confused comments about him and Tim on [livejournal.com profile] code_renegade's journal.

I will get my long babble about the Bat-family up and running. Eventually, maybe, possibly. Need to vent about Jason Todd in a more clear fashion, need to talk about the fucked-upness of Tim Drake, will discuss the death of Steph, fuck, I did adore the girl, will talk about the slight hero-worship of Batgirl (calling her Cass seem wrong.) Will not talk about Dick Grayson because my feelings are really mixed about him. I love him, but more often than not Dick is the symbol, he's the icon that was the first, and because of such he was never too real to me. I can hurt for Jason, Tim, and Steph, but never Dick Grayson because d00d, he's like Teh Robin.

In addition, [livejournal.com profile] code_renegade, Robin is so the "Most Cursed Sidekick Role" in comic book history. Two dead Robins out of four is not a good score, and we all know the only reason Dick survived was because Bruce fired him.

The thing about Batman is I wonder how long they can manage to keep this up before it gets too dark and they suddenly retrocon, yanking it the other way.

I personally hate the current situation and Batman's near psychotic characterisation. I'm just old enough to be a pre-Crisis reader, so I remember when it wasn't like this, and I wish it would go back.

I got into the Batman comics quite late as opposed to the 1992 animated series (pure gold, that), but I do feel for the loss of Steph. The strange thing is, you don't really see Tim mourning her that much. Given the time that they've spent together, you'd have expected a little more reaction from him, or at least a sizable change in the relationship between him and Batman since:

1) Batman agreed to use his girlfriend as the new Robin.
2) Batman was basically more or less responsible for her death.

Dick works better as Nightwing anyway, and his days of sidekicking are long over, so for now he can be sidelined :D;;
