I couldn't agree more JW, THAT'S the story we want, not Jason in space, not all caste stuff, not Jason banging an alien chick, just give us Jason the way he should be.

But, Dick definitely looks older now. Is it because he didn't age while he was dead? That would be an excuse, but I'm sure it's not anywhere near as coordinated as that.<br /><br />Excellent call, JT, about Jason being the only likable one. I thought Tynion and Clarke actually did the best job with him. That panel where he was walking down the street, with his friend's blood on his shirt, really got across the message. Dick's in a famous circus family and Tim's a middle-school genius...and Jason's walking alone done a deserted street after having tried to rob a convenience store and watching his friend kill someone. Tell me THAT story, DC. Stop with putting the guy in space and just tell me THAT story, of how he became Robin and how it didn't work.JWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18384937330661711685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-90971334596567474612012-09-23T01:13:19.501-04:002012-09-23T01:13:19.501-04:00Guh...

It doesn't seem like the writers/editors could care less anymore. In the pre-reboot DCU? The various Robins ages weren't that difficult to decipher. But now? What a mess... And the weirdest thing is the fact that it's completely possible that Jason is OLDER than Dick!

He was barely Batman at that point.<br /><br />And yeah, the stuff with Dick was... how old is he?! He HAD to be like 16 when his parents died according to Batman because Jason had to be AT LEAST 14 when they robbed that store right? He didn't look like a child. Also, X and I was saying, isn't it weird how Jason was the only one that was written to be likable? Tim was kind of a smart ass, Dick was a show off and seemed to be rather nonchalant about the whole show thing. "Come see me, I'm the reason the Flying Graysons rule." Basically, then Jason is being nice, calming people down, dispensing justice with his fists... so.. yeah.Jason Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07796190974001777556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-87910736995669062202012-09-22T23:01:49.630-04:002012-09-22T23:01:49.630-04:00Ugh.

My only real question is why Talia would have slept with Bruce Wayne ten years ago when, according to the timeframe we've been given, he JUST left Gotham for his four-year world tour. He would've just become Batman when Damian pulls that costume from Talia's trunk, so, what, did he become Batman and then immediately sleep with Talia again? The good news is that it's a lot more plausible than Dick's history. I was pretty much ready to call it quits after "Batman" #0 just because of the continuity shenanigans. I mean, at this point, Dick is anywhere between 17 and 25 years old, by my reckoning.

One COULD argue that Damian is ten now, so on that birthday he would've been 9 or so, and five years ago he'd be four... so maybe he was four when the story starts? Either way, DCnU is confusing and they seem to not give a shit, which annoys me immensely.

Anyways I came back coz of the zero issues and have now decided to not abandon you two again. Agree with you on this issue Todd. We already knew this but it didn't explain why Damian had 10 birthdays! When the dcnu started 5 yrs ago. I mean there was a scene when Damian was a toddler for gods sake! Once again in my opinionthe dcnu fails to answer questions and raises new ones. The Average Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16726116137147799099noreply@blogger.com
