lol :| tim drake is my favourite robin. obviously stephanie was a pos, i mean she ruined everything!

 

[Dan]

Are the backups in Before Watchmen all the same, or does each issue have different backups featuring Crimson Corsair? That's kinda confusing.

 

[DonasaurusRex]

So much so that dc animated robin from titans on has been a tim build with dicks name.

yeah i still dont get that, this Robin is a computer whiz...isnt that drakes calling card. Dick is the +30 agi one.

 

[Spike Spiegel]

Dick should be Nightwing; Jason should be a glass encased memorial; Tim as Robin only works now if you take away all the sh*t that happened to make him "grow up"; Damian I honestly believe doesn't have much of a future left; Barbara should be Oracle, and able to walk but with crutches; Cass and Steph should team up as the Batgirls and have fun girly adventures with Barb as their mentor.

Carrie Kelly should only exist in TDKR.

 

[SpiderJerusalem]

Steph Robin was kinda eh but she was a fuckawesome Batgirl

Ooh, this year's American Vampire miniseries, Lord of Nightmares, will be drawn by Dustin Nguyen!

Hell yeah!!! I'll read anything Snyder writes! Love him, love American Vampire, love Swamp Thing, love Batman, love Severed. Dude's amazing!

 

[Jedeye Sniv]

It's not about who's the best Robin though, I love Tim Drake but he makes things needlessly confusing. Robin shouldn't be a legacy character.

I think the problem is that losing the Robins would have completely broken Morrison's in-progress run, especially since it was one of the more successful runs in recent years. Don't fix what ain't broke and all that.

And Robin does work really well as a legacy character. Kids grow up fast, so having a bunch of kid Robins makes a kind of sense. And I think that the Robins are some of the most interesting parts of the Batman universe if you think of them as a kind of family. Morrison would touch on it occasionally too, this idea of all these sons and brothers of Batman. I'd love it if someone would take this idea and run with it properly like they've been flirting with for a few years now.

 

[Jedeye Sniv]

what the fuck? Get out of here with that wrong opinion! Tim Drake or no dice.


I do like like how Tim is a blend of Nightwing and Batman. He has a sharp mind but also a very capable fighter. You could make him Red Robin again but then you really just have Nightwing jr. As Robin, he has the Bat family to play against and is a contrast to Batman.

Kill Damien and put Tim back in with Bruce in a teacher/student capacity or evolve their relationship to equals/partners.

I'm not trying to pick on you or anything since you're a great poster with a great avatar, but the bolded makes me laugh. Is there any superhero that isn't a capable fighter or doesn't have a sharp mind? It would kinda be interesting actually, a superhero who could fight really well but was dumb as a bag of hammers.

But yeah, I understand that Tim is meant to be a great detective and all that, but it's really only because they keep telling us he is. Because all the other heroes are just as good at detecting, when you think about it. They all catch the baddie, use their smarts and then kick some heads in....

just an interesting thought that came to me while reading your post. We need more dumbasses or spaz handed fighters. Diversity!

 

[SpiderJerusalem]

hah, Batman eating cereal in costume looks like my kid

She wasn't so good as Robin, but she's my favorite Batgirl!

 

[Urban Scholar]

So I see we are arguing Robins?

Well all I'm saying Tim is heir apparent for a reason!

On a serious note I love how Robin in Young Justice is based on Tim by design.

 

[LiQuid!]

Venom Circle of Four ending exceeded expectations. Completely transcended its kooky premise. What more is there to say about Tony Moore?

Tony Moore is amazingness incarnate. I only wish he drew more comics

 

[Mr. Sam]

I'll be adding Circle of Four to the list then. Cheers, ears.

Oh my god, Haunt.

is it Tim? I haven't watched since the first season

 

[the chris]

I'm pretty sure it's Dick, and Kid Flash is Wally.

 

[krypt0nian]

Oh my god, Haunt.

It may be pretty but it's still Kirkman.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Nope. As of #19 (when I started) it's Joe Casey and Nathan Fox.

Shit! Check that out! I may be in!


On another note: Alan Moore has made buying After Watchmen even more enjoyable. His bitch ass whiny interview posted at Bleeding Cool is spectacular.

Yeah It's not Tim, but his design/suit is inspired by him.

Same here, those interviews made me want to buy Before Watchmen.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Alan Moore interviews and everyone's reactions are always so fascinating. There's always people attacking him out of nowhere, and then there's all the people who will jump at a moment's notice to defend him for a variety of reasons.

 

[Parallax]

why waste time in what alan moore says? its the same old shit over and over.

i still dont get why alan moore thinks he got screwed when he signed a contract saying he'd get the rights to watchmen if it went out of print and it never went out of print and he never got the rights to watchmen

 

[Anticitizen One]

because he does heavy drugs that have messed up his mind and he is poorly educated.

No time for love Doctor Jones.

The only answers really:

 

[ViewtifulJC]

 

[LiQuid!]

My favorite crossover doesn't exist yet, it's going to be Exiled, the JiM/New Mutants crossover starting in a couple months.

 

[Blader]

 

[ThatObviousUser]

The Emperor of all crossovers.

Crisis on Infinite Earths

I pegged you for Final Crisis based on past threads/Morrison worship.

 

[Parallax]

im actually gonna have to think about this...because COIE is the only one coming to mind...

oh wait, i thought of one

not real i know, but the universe it came from was the most fun i had in a crossover. minus fucking lobo the duck, i had every issue. and it cleaned the stank that was bloodlines out of my mind. AoA too, but not so much

 

[woodypop]

Eschewing what's already been mentioned (because really, CoIE will never be replicated or surpassed), I fondly remember

I'm generally not a huge fan of Simonson's, but I really liked his work in this book. He does a great Deathstroke!

 

[tm24]

I like you

 

[Mistouze]

Everyone, what's your favorite crossover? Go!

This book is made out of LOVE.

Yup that's the one, JLA/Avengers. There's even Hawkeye calling the JLA "Squadron Supreme knockoffs"!

Only one answer, if you've not chosen it then you've not read it:

DC ONE MILLION

It's not just one crossover, it's at least 5 in one. Every book DC published across a whole month, well over 50 titles. On one hand, it's simply another great arc in Morrison's JLA series. But then you have the reverberations across the whole line. Not one but two Batman stories running concurrently, one set in the past and the other in the future. Superman travelling through the strange world of the far tomorrow. The JLA face incredible tests in a twisted far flung olympiad! The rise of solaris! A plan executed across the millennia! Resurrection Man, the greatest hero of all time! The fate of Superman Prime! Young Heroes in Love, the surprise emotional coda to the story!

The whole thing is just masterfully executed and is both a wonderful set of stories and a fascinating look at comics at the turn of the century.

That it's never been collected properly (ie, in order and in full) is a crime, robbing future generations of the true King of Crossovers.
