Well, the imitation Nightwings lasted longer than I thought they would.

On the one hand, the end of Ric

On the other hand the "Yuck, no on likes that" is hammering the point a little TOO hard.

On the one hand, Dick's back

On the other hand, he's being mind controlled AGAIN.

On the one hand, the Joker has a copy of Dick's memories

On the other hand, Babs has had a copy of Dick's memories from two the issue before he was shot in the head, this is not news.

This crap just needed to end, not be confused further as part of the NEXT frikkin' Joker plot.

Pfft, who cares about Dick's memories, now who has a copy of Dick's *ass*?

"We've tried cloning him but modern science just can't replicate DAT ASS"

"Don't even ask about selling someone's soul to a devil. Last time we tried that they just sighed and patted us on the head."

Amanda Waller in the Batman Beyond Mini series where she cloned Dick instead of* creating cuckoo children of Bruce.

A plan that actually made at least some sense unlike the one from Epilogue.

*or in addition too

The ending of that mini also showed she'd created dozens of them.

Sometimes Amanda just gets lonely.

Is any part of Last Laugh still in continuity? That seems like a good reason for the Joker to keep Nightwing under his control.

Con-tin-ewww-itty?

I do not believe I am familiar with that word.

In fairness, neither are DC it would seem.

I have a lot of problems with Chuck Austen's writing and his interactions with fandom but that "What the fuck is continuity?" panel from US War Machine made for one great meme.

Aw, did they seriously kill off the Nightwings? I liked them...

[cyberghostface]

I think they’re just injured one of them shows up in the hospital.

[janegray]

I'd sure hope so.

I don't know how the hell they expect people to get invested in Punchline when they keep giving us evidence that new characters are created solely to be discarded.

[zachbeacon]

I don't know what you're talking about. I think Red Hood-lite (what was his name again?) has some real staying power.

I have to admit, while the execution still remains to be seen, I kind of dig the concept that it is Joker who restores Dick's memories. It just allows for a lot of really neat storytelling.
