Date: 2009-08-31 03:53 pm (UTC)I love that last picture where Dick ups the ante and points out that he's worried about his own arse there as well. It reminds me of Michael Cain in Batman Begins where he, too, says he's worried about his own safety.
Also, I must continue to ask why everybody stopped drawing Bruce and Dick as looking this way. It's the way they always look in my head. Whether or not they're wearing ties and cowl neck sweaters. (Work that casual look, Bruce.)
Who are those other guys in the picture? The one smoking the cigar is especially nice--Batman would not want to be a role model who smoked, I think.

Date: 2009-08-31 06:39 pm (UTC)Only one of the other guys is named in the story, and he's the cigar smoker, who's underworld kingpin Spooks Manson. Spooks knows Batman will reveal himself to save the completely random guys in the picture so that they won't get killed by gangsters on the off chance they're Batman. But (surprise) Batman outmaneuvers the reporter and Spooks by showing that he's none of the guys in the picture, unmasking himself and revealing that he's really...Dun Dun DUN... Howard um, Hayes, richest man in the world, who is also a recluse and agreed to the ruse. But then Hayes decides HE wants the acclaim so he tries to kill Batman and take his place. But his plan of death by plane crash does not succeed, and once again Batman cannot be killed by air vehicle crash. So when Howard (Batman) Hayes goes to pick up his Man of the Year Trophy, real Batman punches him out.
And presumably adds the trophy to his trophy stash.

Dick sidles rapidly to the door trying to recall social services phone number.
* Why am I hearing this in a voice which comes across like a cross between Adam West and the police scientist in "Police Squad"? :)

Bruce: 'Which I could afford, seeing as how I'm a bazillionaire. On the other hand, I could give free educational tours of the Batcave to groups of schoolchildren!'
Dick: 'One of which might be a disguised dwarf assassin ready to take you out...'
Alfred: 'Not to mention, I might add, the absolute PIGSTY that the cave would be afterwards, regardless...'
Bruce: 'I suppose that's true enough. But just think! No more awkward excuses for dashing off and changing clothes during the middle of a date! I could go on dates in costume, and when I rushed away to fight crime, they'd applaud!'
Dick: 'That WOULD be nice, if it weren't for the fact that underworld snipers would likely have taken you out long before you reached the point of running away.'
Bruce: 'Come ON, I'm Batman! I eat crooks like that for breakfast! I'd take them out without breaking a sweat and impress my date with my crimefighting skills!'
Dick: 'Always assuming you could GET a date who was willing to risk the possibility of being cut down by a stray bullet. That's kind of a turn-off for most women.'
Bruce: 'But... but... I could market the Batarang as the next big children's toy! Imagine, walking through the park and seeing people tossing around Batarangs instead of frisbees! Wouldn't that be heartwarming?'
Dick: 'You're really getting into this, aren't you?'
Bruce: 'Just let me have my fantasies for a minute, OK?'
