Amusing moments from Red Robin #11 that happen to involve Steph

[nevermore999]

Because we are in opposite land, Tim compliments Steph a lot in this issue. It's very sad that this sort of freaks me out, doesn't it? TIM IS NICE, THE WORLD HAS TURNED UPSIDE DOWN.

Case in point:



Too bad gratuitous buttshot week is over, because that it one defined butt Steph is sporting.




Yes, so Steph got to save the day. THIS IS TRULY OPPOSITE PLANET. AND I LOVE IT.

Oh, and Tim wants a flying motorcycle, but who doesn't? Flying vehicles are all the rage with the Batfamily now.

Anyway, Tim sends Steph to make sure Babs doesn't get assassinated.  It is implied he doesn't want her to see him yell at the criminal while Prudence beats him up? Despite the fact she's seen him beat up criminals a lot.  But maybe she just wouldn't approve of Tim not doing his won beatings. Anyway. Tam Fox and Vicki Vale are in trouble outside Wayne Manor, and Vicki has to shovel a ninja's face to death, but then decides to get back to being nosy.




AWWWWKWARD.

Man, I do not envy Tim right now.

I mean Steph found this out, and you know she's gonna go tell Cassie.

I guess Tim learned all he knows about women from Tim Drake. (The guy who managed to bone an Amazonian alien princess and the greatest computer hacker to ever live, and piss them both off on separate occasions by being a big dummy).

[sistermagpie]

Wait...Steph found what out? There's nothing to really find out here. Tam just blurted out they were engaged because it was actually a good cover story to give Vickie. Even Tim doesn't know about it. (Not sure which times w/Dick this is being compared to--except the obvious Nightwing Annual one.)

I kept trying to figure out which other character was also named Tim until I realized you meant Dick Grayson.

RA'S AL GHUL SENDS HIS REGARDS

AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF YOU COULD MAKE IT TO A DINNER PARTY THIS WEEKEND, IT'S JUST A SMALL AFFAIR

"Ma'am, you really shouldn't walk the park at night. The league of assassins tend to flock around here."

[likeaminx]

All I have to say is that I really hope Prudence doesn't get killed anytime soon and sticks around with Tim forever. I like her.

[perletwo]

Motto - I was wondering if Red Robin could have Pru for his own Robin.

[thokstar]

For all the Steph love, Tam actually impressed me more this issue. Steph has trained for all of this craziness and has equipment, while Tam's basically running on nerve and survival instinct for something she can't be prepared for.

Basically, it's good to see a supporting character who isn't completely helpless despite being in over her head.

Hip Flabs the new Thigh-Belts?

[silverzeo]

Does anyone else notice the increase of "hip-flaps" on outfits? Red Robin, Damian Robin, and Mon-El's first outfit. Could this be the new Thigh-Belts?

Re: Hip Flabs the new Thigh-Belts?

[psychopathicus_rex]

I believe that is technically referred to as a 'tunic'. The original Robin outfit had something like that.

Re: Hip Flabs the new Thigh-Belts?

[jlbarnett]

I think they even mentioned it in the book. Damien said something about a longer "skirt" that's the only thing I can think of that could look like a skirt on any of the characters.

[jelly_ace]

Excellent timing for your question, Steph. And in front of a reporter, no less.

[lbd_nytetrayn]

Huh, Vicki Vale is vack-- er, back? When did they decide to use her again?

--LBD "Nytetrayn"

[jaybee3]

She came back to town around the beginning of the Battle for the Cowl and went back to work for the Gotham Gazette. It's been shown she's also figured out that Bruce Wayne was Batman and connected all the pieces from there (i.e. his "sons" being Robin) but so far she hasn't been doing anything with this knowledge (or told anyone), just sniffing around.

[irrelevant]

I want Tim and Pru to co-opt Tam as their trainee, and then I want Steph to join them in kicking ass all over Gotham and possibly everywhere else. With lots of Damian on the side so I can have lots of Batgirl/Robin snark. Holy hell, do I want this.

Tim needs to be surrounded by beautiful, ass-kicking women who think he's awesome but also won't take any shit from him. Needs. Yes. And now he's got three. *passes out from the glee of it all*

[bariman]

And Tim still can't/won't get laid.

[jlbarnett]

can I get some info on Tam. Is she starting college? Finishing college? Interning at Wayne Industires?

[jaybee3]

She was interning in Wayne Corporate Division (in Russia) when Red Robin started. I assume that means she's in college or just finished college (i.e. like Steph, older than Tim). The last time I remember seeing her before this was the period when Lucius had his heart attack and was out of the CEO job for awhile (this was during the Murderer/Fugitive period) and then she was clearly a teenager.

[kamino_neko]

She's an intern (19 years old, so, unless she's exceptionally bright, not yet finished college). Answers directly to her dad (Lucius Fox). She is pretty thoroughly convinced she's going to die at any moment, since meeting Tim.

[angel_gidget]

Just one more reason to adore Tam Fox.

[ccsharumun]

This is the best art coming out of DC right now. And one of my favorite characters is under the pencil of it. I am a happy person.

[mad]

Motto. Marcus To's pencils are awesome. He draws Tim like Tim, Dick like Dick, Damian like Damian, Steph like Steph...and the female characters are reasonably proportioned to boot!

[mad]

Can I just say that I love Tam? It's surprisingly refreshing to have a character that's kind of an everyman thrust into the crazy superhero world, and even though most of the time she's like "OMG, I'm doing to DIE!" (which is perfectly natural and sane of her), she still managed to save Vicky Vale's life earlier.

[freddylloyd]

Tim sends Steph to make sure Babs doesn't get assassinated. It is implied he doesn't want her to see him yell at the criminal while Prudence beats him up? Despite the fact she's seen him beat up criminals a lot.

Oh, yeah, she was always impressed by that.

[kamino_neko]

Great codename discipline, there, Timbo.

[big_daddy_d]

*Puts on Red Lantern ring* The fuck was that bitch thinking? I liked the idea of Tam and Tim with Steph being all gaga over that other guy in her book but with this crossover, I have new hopes for Tim/Steph and she comes up with an engagement to cover his secret identity? The. Fuck!

[nevermore999]

Um, calm down there. It's just a funny awkward moment, no need to start barfing blood.

[koschei]

You know, I liked the costume when I first saw it, but more often there are shots that make it look like those dresses that have just a series of straps instead of sides to hold it in place.

You know, like this:
