Warning for Attempted Rape
Not going to post what happens so we can get more of the issue up when it actually comes out.

Will discuss it behind the cut though, so Spoilahs!

Yeah, so Tim is chained up, and it's weirdly going much like the Casstoon I did last month, right up to Tim being saved by Cass going all Britomart on the Hooded One's ass,

Probably should fix that grammatical mistake near the beginning...

So yeah, they acknowledged that it was a horrible thing, and still had Cass coming to rescue him at the last moment, which is cool. Could have done without Tim semi-joking about it, but he's Tim, so that's arguably in character.

Nice that, between here, Batman Inc. and Gates of Gotham, they at least seem to be giving Cass a good send off before being assigned to the closet with the Merchant of Menace, Ratcatcher, Onyx and that Vietnam veteran homeless guy that used to hang out in all the Batman books before No Man's Land.

For legality, the issue's cover,

i think Tim joking around is him trying to deal with the fact they are pretty much trying to rape him...

i am also glad that (despite the lead in) they are actually treating this like an attempted rape.

that said... i can't help but ALWAYS giggle at your Casstoon :D

Shameless self promotion!:

Yeah, I looked at it as a coping mechanism--granted, it could easily be argued that most people wouldn't be doing that in the middle of being forced into said act, but still, considering all she did was start zipping down the costume, I can buy that it's him trying to cope with this.

And possibly he's joking because he knows Cass is right there about to save him. If he thought the rape was actually going to happen he might have taken the whole situation differently.
