Sure, I'll take it.

[seriousfic]

The worst part?

It's Alfred talking.

[jelly_ace]

Really?

[crabby_lioness]

He would know....

[q99]

That's, wow :)

"The forbidden desires that are expressed in dream"? Sounds like someone has a crush ^^

[autumn_lily]

That narrows the speaker's identity down to pretty much everybody in the DCU.

[bluefall]

Is this... translated manga? Because it doesn't look like translated manga, but it sure sounds like translated manga.

[jelly_ace]

From the latest issue of 'Tec Comics.

o_o

[autumn_lily]

Jeez, after Bruce dies, somebody just goes and starts reading form his diary, how disrespectful.

...It's probably Damien....

[jelly_ace]

Nah, it's Tim's diary. Makes sense to me! :)

[skalja]

Well, it's better than that time Adam Hughes claimed that Wonder Woman was androgynous.

Yes. Yes, really.

[zordboy]

Someone else recently called Diana a "Drag queen".

Diana really gets the short end of the stick, doesn't she?

[janegray]

God forbid a woman has some muscle.

I like to pretend Dick is dancing in the panel. It makes the text that much better.

[icon_uk]

I always like to pretend that Dick is dancing; Practising his shimmy when on stake out... boogeying along the rooftops if it's a slow bad guy he's chasing. Half the crime in Bludhaven was stopped by criminals being too distracted by Nightwing, the Dancing Daredevil, to continue. Even when tied-up he'd be practising as best he could.

God forgive me, my first thought when I saw that was "Is this Devin Grayson again?"

[icon_uk]

Actually, you're sort of right, since these are the notebooks of Hugo Strange from the period when Devin Grayson was writing his interactions with the Batclan. I don't know if this is deliberate homage or parody, but it's very much in her style.

For those who want context, it's Jeremiah Arkham speaking - he also makes similar comments about Catwoman and Robin. For those who don't want context...don't highlight the box. >_>

[darkblade]

Well thats some subtext I don't want to ship...

[kirke_novak]

Whomever that is, s/he kinda nailed it. >_> Forbidden desires indeed...

[punishermax]

Bet they wish they nailed it.

Heyoooooooooooooooooo

[benicio127]

Fuckyeahbatkids, that's a tumblr thing, right? LOL, they also have a fuckyeahjasontodd, which I lol'd at for two reasons: one they call him JToddz (haha, S_D's influence all the way, methinks!) and two, there was a post saying fuckyeahjasontodd would not celebrate mother's day. That was both lulzy and really sad.

[jelly_ace]

Yeah, it's on Tumblr. For obvious reasons, I also follow fuckyeahtimdrake. Their posted panels are really funny. And I didn't know there's a fuckyeahjasontodd!

[queen_marshed]

You kinda expect sparkles and roses around that frame like so shojo manga. XD

[icon_uk]

Well. Dick IS a walking shojo manga.... Seriously half the guys in those things look like him...

[tsunamiwombat]

The Speaker is Dr. Arkham, btw.

[lyraeinne]

Heeheeheeheeheee

Yeah. I don't even know. I think it's fairly easy to read Dick as the Batfamily's resident embodiment of eternal youth and sexual ambiguity, and default coded female/damsel, but in the context of the rest of the story this weird little expose kind of lost me.
