Some chronic levels of kawaii for the New Year...

[icon_uk]

I'm not quite sure what to make of 2011 as a year, it had it's moments sure but overall it's been sort of... "Meh" ... It's been more of a period of uncertainty and fluctuation rather than definite "things" (and the things we did have weren't always positive to say the least). The massive worldwide socio-economic/political efforts sweeping a lot of us individuals before them like leaves on a river hasn't really helped.

Even in the comics side of things it's been a little weird. Marvel with the crossovers and then DC with Flash-What's-The-Point and their daring and adventurous Really-Not-A-Reboot-Honest-Oh-All-Right-It-Sort-Of-Is has been a mixed bag for this old timer to say the least, some good stuff to be sure, but at the cost of a lot of already good stuff, and uncertainty about whether it can be maintained.

But I want to leave the year on, if not a high point, at least a cute one...



First, to set the scene, and for legality, the moment Cap his round shield from FDR



But what else can if be used for? Why it has so MANY uses....






Chibi-Cass as Chibi-Batgirl....


The moment that Bruce realised that Dick had a hero, and it wasn't Batman....



And a moment that has no right be as cute as it is. (Is it too cute? My cynic-o-meter was disabled by it, which should tell you something)




I found these over on the artists tumblr account, where there is more... if such appeals to you. Alas I get no indication of the artists name beyond GKA on their DA account.


And for sheer Festive Crackiness

A Happy New Year to everyone and may 2012 bring you all that you hope and some pleasant surprises too!

(Me, I'm just hoping that I can get through the bloody fuss over the Olympic Games without actually causing physical harm to someone)

I nearly threw in a couple of Dick in his Superman PJ's, but thought it better to leave that for those who follow the link. :)

Thanks, and likewise!

Happy New Year to you too Icon_UK!! :)

ALL so adorable! :)

Aww, always knew that Dick adored Clark! ;)

[lieut_kettch]

Well, he did name his post-Robin alter-ego after a Kryptonian hero (whose identity Clark himself had assumed before).

Plus, Dick is probably the most trusted and respected hero (in the caped community at least) in the DCU after Clark himself.

I'm just praying that's still the case in the DCnU since, if Dick never made a name for himself as leader of the Teen Titans etc, we have no real clue how he's viewed by anyone outside the Batfamily.

[bradygirl_12]

Definitely! I loved reading those old Silver Age World's Finest stories where all three took part in the adventures. The Golden Age covers used images of all three having fun playing baseball and other good stuff.

A real shame that it's a possibility that Dick was never leader of the Teen Titans in this new AU. That was always a big part of his superhero career.

So much Cap love. Seriously. Just so much love.

Cute Cass, cute Steve!

Cap looks soooo happy spinning on his shield. Happy New Year!

It was the "Spin! Spin!" image which sold me on posting this. :)

I ought to wait until I have my paid account and can get the rest of my icons to import, but I remember that story and its tap-dancing Bat-ponies.
