icon_uk: (Micro Robin BatPalm)
[personal profile] icon_uk posting in [community profile] scans_daily
I'm indebted to the excellent OzandEnds blogspot (Which has a regular Robin column) for pointing out this nifty little strip

It's a goodbye gift from Colleen Coover to Nate Cosby, the first editor to hire her to work for Marvel, and who was leaving the company.





Somehow I can just see this take on the Dynamic Duo, with Robin, the exhaustingly ever-eager, if well meaning, kid on an endless sugar-rush of excitement and adventure... and Batman, as Batman really.




I agree with the posters who A) Love "Robin as Muppet" and B) Want a T-shirt of "To hunt the night, I guess"

I guess he just needs a tunic and a cape and some short pants and he's all set!

It's pretty much impossible to read this without hearing Brock Samson and Dean Venture.

Bruce misses the worry free days where Dick was a moron little boy and none of his Robins are dead.

Haha, I love how Catwoman reacts to Bruce.

*Slightly shocked* Oh, hey Bruce.

I get the feeling that this particular incarnation of Dick was made Batman's sidekick largely so he would have some sort of outlet for his boundless energy. I can picture him going stir-crazy on nights when Bruce stays in to do research or heal from injuries or whatever, whining 'I'm bor-rred', bouncing off the walls, and generally driving everyone nuts.

Yeah, I can guess how THAT would go.

'Dick! What are you doing?'

'Oh, hey Bruce! I'm washing the Batmobile!"

'Washing the Batmobile.'

'Yeah! It's been looking kinda grungy, so I thought 'what kinda way is that to look for the faithful car of the DYNAMIC DUO?' So I'm cleanin' it!'

'Dick, that's... very nice of you, but...'

'Aw, no worries, Bruce! Gosh, when I'm done, it's gonna SPARKLE!'

'...but you do realize that there is a reason why we have an automated system to do that.'

'We do? Gosh, why?'

'Because there are fifty security systems installed in that thing, and if even ONE is...'

'Oh, THAT! Don't worry, Bruce, I'll be careful! Hey, what's this do?'

'NOOOOOOOOOOOO!'

ZZZZZZZZZT

FSSSHHH

BUDDABUDDABUDDABUDDA

ka-BOOM!

*silence*

'...Golly.'

'This is coming out of your allowance, but good.'

And that is why the Teen Titans were formed.

In THIS version of the DCU, it's quite possible that ALL kid sidekicks are like this to some degree, which would make the Teen Titans more like a rather gonzo version of a daycare center. Not sure who'd be in charge of it - Alfred, maybe.

So this comic is actually the future of the Tiny Titans universe?

...THAT would be interesting, wouldn't it? Although the Tiny Titans are nowhere NEAR this hyper.

Ouch! Too funny. Especially the idea that Bruce would let Selina carry off with the Hope Diamond. Setting up a booty call, I can see. XD

So there's the Burt Ward chum that made me not like Robin until BTAS -- complete with punching his palm. Only thing missing was a random "HOLY" phrase, like, I don't know ... "HOLY UNDERWEAR, BATMAN" or something.

Heh! I can see the Joker backing off and saying "Ok, Batsy, now you're starting to scare me." Followed by Wesker kicking the door down and Scarface yelling, "Yeah, Gatman! Dat's OUR schtick, see!" XD

It also raises questions about the wardhood/adoption of the various Robins. Did Bruce just randomly declare Hand puppets to be his children and no one said anything because he was too rich or something?
