Episode needed more villians killing aliens, but otherwise was good.
Good god! NO! She's practically his daughter. The very thought makes me ill.
I want to find you in real life and beat you.
How can you make this joke about my Babs? A-bloo-bloo-bloo!
He stole that joke from the Nightwing Annual. Apparently right after this comment, Dick revealed he was engaged to Starfire.
Apparently, I need to review this annual. My curiosity is piqued.
Plus, it was Babs who made the joke.

Well, if you're dissapointed with the Nightwing Annual after reading it, then you don't know good comics. That Annual was the best thing to happen to Nightwing in a looong time,
And for the record, the actual exchange was..(post coitus, of coise.)
Babs - "Morning"
Dick - "Good morning, uh..about last night.."
Babs - "Yeah. I don't know what you did to me, but now I can't feel my legs."
Dick - "Babs!"
Babs - "If anybody can make a tasteless joke, it's me, okay?"

Yeah, see that doesn't feature Babs hentai, and thus I am disappointed.
it made me laugh out loud
Nightwing's Bat-plotarmour covers less, but is thicker.
Is there a silver age story or something about Three Batmen? Cause I kind of got the impression that the black casebook is where all the wacky, campy Batman stories go and it seems Morrison's run is all about reworking and bringing those stories back.
The art seems to be getting a little better too.
Yeah, there was an old Batmen of Many Nations story.
From solicits, I know that is definitely coming back, but I meant specifically a story involving these three Batmen. A murder, a muscled monster, and one that destroys Gotham.

DiDio said at one of the last conventions that Morrison (and Dini) are on their repsective books for as long as they like.
PSN: OrneryRooster
Yeah, but unfortunately we sometimes have to wait for the good things in life.
Dini has the next two months on Detective, and then gone for another two issues. Morrison is set (well, solicitied) until July. Batman seems to be absent on the August Solicits though.

Yeah, it's pretty frustrating. Out of the nine Detective Comics solicitated so far for this year, four have been fill-ins. I don't expect them to throw him in a dungeon and force them to finish, but a little more continuity would be nice. Why not get someone who can sit on the sidelines and fill-in for either Batman comics when needed? Like how Fabian Nicieza is used on the Superman titles.
I was blown away. Whoever's writing for the standard book needs to step down gracefully in lieu of this writer who delivers the goods that I (and hopefully everyone else), as a long-suffering Nightwing fan, desire.
The moment his parents die (OMG SPOILERZ!) isn't done AMAZINGLY, but god damn if it doesn't it bring a tear to your eye.
Via the Wiki:
"I don't want the world, I just want your half"
I think it probably goes back to Frank Miller's influence on Batman, since he tended to write Bruce as having a very strong relationship with his father, to the point of almost idolizing him after his death. And I think that ultimately Bruce's dad is the more fleshed out of the two (we know that he was a doctor, but I don't think his mom was ever expanded beyond just being Bruce's mother), so it's just easier to focus on him.
Good point, though Bruce Wayne seems to give to charity more often than he actually involves himself in charity.
Which I suppose makes sense given the image of the playboy.
I was going to mention Marv, but I guess he wasn't really "influenced" by his mother, just protective of her.
