Really, DC, who MAKES your assignment decisions? A hat full of little slips of paper? A trained guppy? An iron?

From Jennifer Contino's interview with Nightwing: Year One co-writer Scott Beatty at PULSE webzine:

    THE PULSE: Many people miss the classic Batman and Robin stories featuring Bruce and Dick. What do you think it was about their chemistry that made their stories together have such strong memories for so many different comic fans?

    BEATTY: It's funny you should mention that. Chuck and I were chatting it up recently about how much we'd love to work on such a title. When Scott and Andy emailed us with the same idea as a possible pitch to DC, we were weirded out by the odd synchronicity...but just how PERFECT it could be. I'm uncertain it would happen, but we'd all jump at the opportunity to explore some "untold" tales starring the original Dynamic Duo.

Now if this was the team who were going to be on the forthcoming DC All-Stars: Batman and Robin title, I might actually feel compelled to pick it up, rather than to stay as far away as possible. (I lack the energy tonight for another rant about Frank Millerfucktard and his hatred of Robins, but yeah.) Just as well, I suppose, as long as my pull-list has gotten...

*muffled cursing* You got to be kidding me. They could've... and they gave it to... damn. Why?! I just don't get it.

Yeah. I can't imagine how Frank is going to restrain himself from killing Dick off or just breaking the 'Duo up with a big argument.

Maybe he'll turn Dick female...

Hey, that's a great idea. Or even better, he can kill Dick off in the most humiliating way possible and give Batman a female sidekick... oh, wait. *cringe* Damn, I knew I erased those memories for a reason. Now I have to go scrub my brain again.

If there were someplace I could sign up to take that course...

Preferably with visual aids... lots and lots of visual aids...

And field trips, and guest speakers, and a hands-on practicum...
