Dick then had a strop at bruce and graduated into the Nightwing persona.<BR/>Then you had Jason, who died, and has now come back to life as a murderous and mad bad guy.<BR/>Then you had Tim Drake, who's lovely! And threatening, I promise. He's got a mean stick he beats people with.<BR/>Tim gave up being Robin at one point, and Stephanie Brown, previously the Spoiler, became the first girl Robin. She is also wonderful.Sarangahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03545162612237984546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23471698.post-76588918472174852232008-12-16T00:16:00.000+00:002008-12-16T00:16:00.000+00:00Er...You know I'm not "up" on superheroes, mate, b...Er...<BR/><BR/>You know I'm not "up" on superheroes, mate, but am I right in saying that Robin's name is...in fact...'<I>Tim</I>'? <BR/><BR/>No wonder the boy's so damnably unthreatening if this is indeed the case.

I tried to comment on that part but was having trouble putting it into words, I suspect because of the incongruity between that and the hotness.<BR/><BR/>I didn't even think about how it fit the story within! I'd like to be blase and say that is because I'm so used to covers being completely disconnected to the plotlines, but I suspect it's more because it just hasn't occurred to me to link them.

But then again, his style is super cartoony-deformed. It's hard to take it seriously. <BR/><BR/>If I were hard-pressed to complain about that pose, it would not be that it's a sexualized image of Cass...quite the opposite (I've seen worse). Unlike Robin who is crouching, looking rather menacing...(ie. like a crime-fighter)...she's just standing there gazing off into space, with arm behind her like some little clueless girl. ( I believe Scott was going for innocent and cute...which isn't possible with the body proportions he uses on females.)<BR/><BR/>Anyways it reminds me of Cass's pose <A HREF="http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh287/DoopPhotobucket8/batgirldeathstroke/01.jpg" REL="nofollow">here</A> and in two panels <A HREF="http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh287/DoopPhotobucket8/batgirldeathstroke/02.jpg" REL="nofollow">here</A><BR/><BR/>I have this Robin issue, I was surprised when I first saw it. You almost never see Cass in a non-aggressive fighting pose on a cover, much less when she's with someone else. It's like Robin and her switched their usual body language. But it fit the storyline, which featured a brooding, grieving Robin and clueless but well-meaning Batgirl. 9_9Jessiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07568367297048353925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23471698.post-8574141870023342992008-12-09T19:55:00.000+00:002008-12-09T19:55:00.000+00:00Yes, you are right Batman can be and often is a di...Yes, you are right Batman can be and often is a dick!<BR/>He always thinks he is right and even when he is wrong he cannot admit it. He should not be around any children!<BR/>I understand the idea of the Dark Knight but he does not have to be the Dark Knight Dick!<BR/>I loved when Robin quit it was bliss!<BR/>Also you are 100% right about the sexual positioning of Cassandra Cain a woman who is suppose to be the best martial artist in the world and who could take out both Batman and Robin in a heartbeat.<BR/>It seems that most of these covers are drawn by men and its sad really.<BR/>If they had put Robin,Batman or Superman in that pose the comic would be appealing to a different market.Hepburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07660108545184490744noreply@blogger.com
