Batman #07 - now with Dick

[sherkahn]

Dick Grayson (the birthday boy), that is.

Prelude to the Batman arc "Night of the Owls".

With revelations about who the Bat-clan is facing.
*SPOILERS BEHIND THE CUT*



Batman is saved by someone (sorry, I know it is someone we have met before, but I don't recognize) with battery jumper cables, and a wounded Batman makes his way through the sewers to one of the satellite Bat-caves. Of course, Batman's Batman finds him and takes him in, and the Bat does what he does best.

Prepare to engage the enemy with tons of prep and research to kick their butt.

Nightwing comes down to the Batcave as Bruce is doing an autopsy.
Bruce wanted to keep some info close to the vest, but with this and new revelations from the Nightwing book, the deeper threat and danger comes to light.


A Wolverine healing factor? Not regeneration ability?
Wow....



Of course this is just one shoe to drop. Dick knows Bruce is still holding out on him, and starts pushing buttons to get the truth out of him, since everyone has been worried for some time now as Bruce was in the maze of the Owls.

Of course Bruce responds the only way he knows how.


It's not like Bruce is going to get that with his tongue, now is he?
After knowing Robin so intimately for all these years, Batman, how could you have missed that?

All those talented people who have died in Haly's Circus (Grayson's family) and previous versions of said circus over the centuries... that's who Batman is fighting.


Meanwhile, the Court activates ALL of their Talons, and they take flight prepare to take over Gotham.

Oh, that's what happened!

I was, "wait, why did Batman punch him again?"

And yea, that's really lucky.... and am I to believe Batman *never* checked his teeth before?

Well, someone on another forum mentioned that since it probably had to have happened before Bruce took him in, it's possible that Dick had a root canal at some point and that the coin was sneaked in.

Still, I'd imagine every bat gets fairly regular tooth X-rays, owing to how often they've gotten smacked in the mouth!

Like I said, I imagine if he had a root canal and he had a metal cap, it would look like all metal in the x-ray anyway. Plus, if we really start thinking about how often in reality they would need to get their teeth fixed, every non-powered hero in existence would probably need steel jaws by now.
