Right, that too. Though I still flinched when Dick was referred to as Paris Hilton.
Sad though that is, Tim's not above taking advantage of it.
I don't find that sad? I have the morals of an armchair though. I also realized [and compliments to you] I had to keep rearranging the viewpoints in my head to understand what people were saying. Because I tend towards the Bats way of thinking.
It's kind of funny to think the foppish thing = gay mostly came out because of Oscar Wilde's tour of America [and later imprisonment.] If it would have been Walt Whitman instead, the view would be quite different. I can see your point - and yeah, they don't have enough gay superheroes so you can use it that way.
Well, I shouldn't say augh because my favorite Batman comic is actually a Bruce Wayne one - GK #56 I think? Where Bruce is wondering around granting mail room clerks art scholarships, and feeding the elderly, and just being awesome. That's why I wish Batman was real. That and the car.
