oh Bruce, and DAMN Waller! you and your silly clones!

[thanekos]

I love the surname of the guy they got to replace Doctor Reid; in a few years, Cadmus'll probably be wishing they did precognitive background checks (foreground checks?)

[irrelevant]

The only thing I have left to say about this title is that I am so glad it's not DCAU continuity. Also, I am never reading anything Beechen writes again.

[irrelevant]

And now I think I'm going to go watch Eggbaby to get the taste of this out of my mouth. Animated crack is a good antidote for comics stupidity. >_

[savok]

I was willing to give him a chance since he wrote at least one decent episode for Batman: Brave and the Bold. Thought maybe this being based on a cartoon some of that quality might come through.... it really didn't.

[irrelevant]

I gave it a chance because I was desperate: Beyond is my favorite animated series ever, and it was awesome to get some more of it even in comics form after so long. But I'm not *this* desperate.

So yeah, pretty unhappy with Beechen at the moment.

[cypherfdp]

... I think I'll pass.

[zechs80]

Huh I never thought I see the day I'd see a room full of Dicks.

[star_of_airdrie]

you make it sound like a bad thing

[neev]

Your sacrifice completes my sanctuary of a 1000 testicles!

...I watch weird movies. :V

[lissa_quon]

What...what the fresh hell?

[neev]

The weirdest movie I have ever watched

It's based on the story of the Tarot and beyond that...uh...I suggest watching it with a group of friends and at least one bottle of wine. It's fucking bizarre.

[aeolos_sakya]

Sounds like something a friend of mine would have. Thankfully, he lives too far to show it to me, if that were the case.

[icon_uk]

I'm partly tempted to comment "Joey, do you like films about... gladiators" but I'm more tempted to go chug wood alcohol until my short term memory is destroyed.

[neev]

:V Man, you didn't see the part about the dude with ocelot breasts. And no, I will not clarify that statement - it stands as is. You'll just have to watch the movie.

[philippos42]

Alejandro Jodorowsky, eh? Now I'm curious.

[neev]

It's really fuckin' trippy and I honestly can't decide if I enjoyed it or not, nor what I think of it. Definitely worth checking out though, preferably with a group of friends, as it's kinda long

[big_daddy_d]

HAHAHAHA! Good one.

[espanolbot]

Hrrm, have they mentioned if the new Catwoman is Helena Kyle yet?

[icon_uk]

She's not, it was mentioned last issue that her father was Danton "Multiplex" Black.

[icon_uk]

Sigh... so much potential... so much waste...

Though I love that they dressed ALL the Dick clones in shorts, presumably so as not to distract the med-techs and get some work done.

[endis_ni]

I suspect that like me, you've just worked out what you want for Christmas...

[shadowvalkyrie]

...

I want that room.

[big_daddy_d]

Soooo...no Tim Drake clones? Just sayin. They got Bruce. They got Dick. Question is, who else did they get?

Still, seriously...you'd think Waller would've learned her lesson, especially with the crazy clone who was on the loose.

[icon_uk]

Her logic would be that her plan was fine, it was letting the clone escape that was the error. The fact the clone was insane doesn't help that argument much, that's for sure.

[thokstar]

Assuming BB: Return of the Joker is in continuity with this, Waller has very good reason not to have any Tim Drake clones.

[icon_uk]

We're not sure how it can be, given that we saw Dick working with Batman sometime after the Tim incident (based on Dick's comment about Batman not having worked with a partner in ages), but as they were fighting the Joker at the time, it can't be after the Tim incident. So it's disappeared up it's own paradoxical backside before it's even explained it's own plot.

[fifthie]

Jesus fucking Christ, BB Waller is just so weird about Batman.

[alienist]

That wasn't even BB, it was JLU. In an episode I personally prefer to ignore.

[tsunamiwombat]

Soo blowing off Bruce, was that... Dick Dickery?

[jelly_ace]

"Dick blowing off Bruce".

Heh. Yup, I am twelve.

[icon_uk]

Yeah, and it's just another reason to dislike this. Seeing Dick become the bitter, angry survivor of the Batfamily is deeply depressing.

[an-idol-mind.livejournal.com]

Um...wasn't the whole point of "Epilogue" that Waller realized there was more to Batman than just genetics?

[daningram.insanejournal.com]

Oh, you silly person you. Do you really think DC wouldn't ignore a story that said a person's identity is more than their blood?

[zechs80]

Oh you silly, this is the Beechen you talk about here. He never does his homework, he only barely glances at the wiki entry.

[icon_uk]

Not quite, she acknowledges that it doesn't need someone just like Batman, but that someone with a similar outlook would do, so Terry lacking Bruce's brains was fine, as he had Bruce's heart and will going for him. I can see her working that into a "If we can't have a Batman, a Nightwing is a darn fine replacement" sense in her past)

Nah, I got nothin'

[aeolos_sakya]

That's what I was thinking. The whole reason of Terry's birth and childhood was because she wanted him to live in a similar enviroment to the one Bruce lived before his parents were murdered. This whole thing makes no sense.

[icon_uk]

This new approach is taking the direct route with Dick 2.0, by downloading the memories of Dick taken when he was injured and just before he gave up the Nightwing ID, so he comes with all the trauma already in there.

[icon_uk]

Of course it could be that these aren't clones of Dick, they're clones of Terry.

[likeaminx]

I had SUCH high hopes for this.... It wasn't bad starting out! But then it went to hell. Ah well. ):

AT LEAST I STILL HAVE RP
