Holy... WTF Batman!

[icon_uk]

Now, you know me, I like a nice Robin in peril shot ("No?" "Really?" "YOU Icon_UK? I hear the surprised gasps from around the interwebs of s_d) so this cover appealed to me, so I idly picked a copy up... After all, last issue saw Robin being licked by trolls, who knows where this one could lead...





Plot "happens" (and believe me, this thing is so unintelligible the quotes are well earned) when this happens....



Hah, THIS will show the bad guy....





... ... ........ ....

I got nothin'....

Well! I guess he got fed up with rescuing Robin all the time. He's not crying over this one.

[q99]

Uh, I hope that's a fake Robin...

[nezchan]

Ah, the old inflatable Robin trick.

Someone was going to say it, may as well be me

[jlroberson]

It got Bruce through many lonely nights after Grayson went to college.

Refer to icon.

People will look back on Batman riding a genetically modified T-Rex and think enjoy the relative sanity and straightforwardness of it all.

[the_prettiest_star]

Only if the genetically modified T-Rex doesn't have boobs.

[protogarrett]

*actually laughing out loud*

...oooh... that's just awesome. lol

[sinisterlink]

I love crack filled comics like this because they are some of the few that can still do things that catch you off guard. Awesome.

After seeing the exploding Robin, the first thing that popped into my head was a scene from Invader Zim.

For me I was reflexively saying "We're going to need another Timmy!"

Oh gods, how I LOVED that series... :D

[fungo_squiggly]

With a few minor adjustments, Batman's "Blah, Blah. Prattle on you small-minded fool!" panel could make a great macro for flame wars, political arguments, and many another occasion.

[albijuli]

wait what

[whitesycamore]

last issue saw Robin being licked by trolls

Post. This.

Also, I'm glad I'm not the only on who sometimes buys comics purely because the cover appeals to my kinks. I recently bought a copy of American Vampire purely because of the cover which featured a 50's greaser vampire boy licking his teeth suggestively. >_>

As you wish

I'm glad I'm not the only on who sometimes buys comics purely because the cover appeals to my kinks.

Never just you :)

[drexer]

And in the next issue, we'll find out about Batman's army of robot Robins with lifelike expressions and anatomy and perfect muscled bodies.

Shouldn't all of us at s_d try to save some money to buy one for icon?

[whitesycamore]

Fuck that - there's a recession going on, and I need to save for my own Robinobot.

[icon_uk]

Well, yes, I think that might rather be the point of having one, no? :)

[icon_uk]

Why, that'd be mighty neighbourly of you, thanks. Though given his track record, all it would require to get the real one is a bottle of chloroform and a couple of lengths of rope.

In fact it's approaching the suspicious how often that works.

"Great work boss, he's out like a light, the cholorform did a great job."

"Are you kidding, I haven't even got the top off the bottle yet!"

"But look, he's got his hands behind his back all ready to be tied up"

"I know, weird, it must be some sort of reflex"

[nezchan]

Hell, Dick just cuts out the middleman and shows up at the store when they're buying the stuff.

[chocochuy]

I just had some Apple Soda as I was reading about the Robinobot so allow me to make a short ad to compensate the sugar rush I am having right now.

the best comic

[thanekos]

" Y..y..you blew Robin up.

.. Flambé it is, then. "

[nezchan]

"You Maniacs! You blew it up!"

[steverodgers5]

"Damn you! Damn you all to hell"..

Man this is some serious crack. I'm amazed DC lets it get published!

[chocochuy]

Sorry, my brain just stopped processing information the moment Batman blew Robin up.

Wow, just wow.

[leikomgwtfbbq]

...I don't even think context would help here.

What the fuck.

[jlroberson]

It gets better when you realize all this already happened and in the present, this is a story Bruce is telling you.

Cheerfully.

[jlroberson]

"Prattle on"?

As for blowing Robin up...well, it's just that I've seen Robin die so many times, what shocks me is when he lives.

[kamino_neko]

Anubis: Oh, COME ON, it was my day off! ... Screw it, Osiris can handle it, I'm off to Assyria.

hee hee hee.

[crabby_lioness]

More reasons not to read NuDC.

[whitesycamore]

This series is not in continuity, and it was running quite a while before the NuDC anyway.

[insectposse]

I took it as more of a "You're not going to get anything like this in NuDC, so why bother?"

ummmmm.....

[capt_satellite]

SO, how long HAS Neal been shooting up Drano and baby laxative?

[theatervine]

What?
