Yeah, Roy was kind of a tool before Lian showed up. Also Wally lapped the world several times before Barry was able to catch up to him and calm him down enough to stop.
Meanwhile, the Young Justiceverse continues to be the best current DCU with the addition to another retconned piece of Bat History to their canon. Namely, this.
Yup, in addition to Ted Kord Blue Beetle existed, so did Jason... AND HE'S STILL DEAD!
Review and recap of YJ:I 8 here, Spoilers though, obviously,

Date: 2012-09-30 04:46 pm (UTC)I actually don't really have a problem with Jason being alive, it lessens the impact of his death obviously, but I like him as sort of an evil Dick Grayson. I think there was on scene in which it went on about how Bruce attain power by becoming what he feared (bats) and Jason did the same by taking up the Joker's old mantle. A bit on the nose, but I liked it. That said I do prefer Morrison's villainous new wave superhero to the current anti-hero, in concept at least.
And poor Wally, the problems of being friends with a rich kid.

Date: 2012-09-30 10:37 pm (UTC)Sure, Batman should be respected, and his strategic mind is unequalled by anyone in the League, but why someone like Wally, or any other person of his power level, should be literally scared of a guy in a Kevlar bat suit is beyond me.

Date: 2012-10-01 03:18 am (UTC)Besides which, Batman's reputation no doubt precedes him... so crazy-prepared that even if Wally could decide to do that stuff-- what happens if he does? How far does he get? What happens after?
And is any of that a risk he wants to take? Especially when he could have words with Wally's "boss," so to speak?
Probably just better to stay on Mr. Batman's good side, complete with "sirs" and "thank yous."

Date: 2012-10-02 05:55 pm (UTC)Also, I find it strange that the DC editorial board felt that having an extended hero history and continuity would confuse their 18-35 year old target demographic, while the writers of a show aimed at 12 year olds didn't feel the need to dumb down their universe.

Date: 2012-10-01 03:37 pm (UTC)How many teenage heroes in the DCU actually go to college now? The only three I can think of are Donna (I think, and who no longer exists anyway), Dick (removed from his history post Crisis on Infinite Earths (aside from a semester which he said he dropped out of) and Wally (See Donna... and who may have dropped out)

Date: 2012-10-01 03:19 am (UTC)...from coming face-to-chest with Batman?
Also, I love how Robin's acting like he's hot stuff. "Yeah, I got rogues. You?"

Date: 2012-10-01 03:41 pm (UTC)As Dick demonstrates that when you can't fly or go intangible and are stuck in a hostile alien spaceship, a good knowledge of air conditioning ducts is essential for any sort of superhero career, he mentions that Batman made sure that he kept up his knowledge of relatively boring matters like structural engineering (Well, boring to him) by making it so that if he didn't pass the tests Batman set him, he didn't get to fight the "cool" supervillains and was stuck with the embarassing ones.

Date: 2012-10-02 06:17 pm (UTC)Prefer it if they brought back John DiMaggio though, as I kind of prefer him to Brent Spiner's version of the Joker (Mark Hammil's retired from playing the character, sadly).

But okay, so wasn't there a scene like this in an old Young Justice comic? I could swear it was drawn differently...
