    oh okay

    i thought you were talking about how everyone forgot about the supporting cast after Dixon left the first time.

    hell, Ives has been forgotten about again already

    To be fair though, Ives isn't really important to what is going on at the moment.

    Ives appeared in 173. 174 brought back Stephanie, and 175 and 176 both take place within the span of a single night.

    Robin is awesome

    One of my non-comic reading friends is always bitchin' about how the idea of Batman having a sidekick is "gay" and such

    But he is a fool

    If gay means being Batman's crime-fighting buddy, then sign me up for homosexuality.

    So I haven't really read much of what Jason Todd has been in recently, and it doesn't seem he's been in the Batman related comics lately, what is up with him? I know he is Red Hood, is he on earth1 at all?

    He came back to 'Earth-1' at the end of Countdown and threw his Red Robin costume in the trash. I think that was his last appearance as of now.

    Implied threesome with Harley and Holly.

    Okay, they were just living together, but it's not a huge jump from one thing to another.

    And someone (either him or Swag Man) grabbed the costume out of the trash in the latest issue of Robin

    Know what they should do with Todd? Put him on the Birds of Prey roster in the Red Robin guise, move the BoP back to Gotham, and give the lot of them something meaningful to do.

    It's just as good of an idea as "Dr. Light - rapist", "Superboy punching reality", or COUNTDOWN. Hell, Didio has already recreated the death of Superman event, when he had the golden age Superman beaten to death. Why not recreate Knightfall as well, but instead of having an unpopular Jean Paul Valley / Azrael replace Wayne, have Jason Todd do it?

    Because Todd is just as unpopular?

    And Tim will take the mantle himself before he let's Todd shit on it?

    I liked what they did with Jason when they brought him back. The only problem is they didn't change him at all since then. He's been a whiny douchebag since he came back and it's just annoying. They should have had Nightwing just tell him to shut up and get over it, that they didn't know he was alive, and bam, now you can use him in stuff

    A whiny douche on a rampant killing spree. I am reminded of some interactions he had with Onyx in some book or another, but I can't remember which title it was...

    I really wanted to see Jason Todd vs Batman in a "Who can clean up Gotham more?" showdown that they seemed to be building to. Of course, I also wanted to see what Nightwing could make of Bludhaven by controling the mob and keeping the capes out.

    Stupid Infinite Crisis.

    I actually liked Infinite Crisis and Jason Todd coming back wasn't terrible when he was the Red Hood or whatever. I kind of liked the idea of him competing with the Bat family in fighting crime by killing criminals. But instead of them following up on that, he forgot about getting revenge on the Joker for you know killing him and had some wacky goddamn adventures with people in Countdown where everyone forgot he kind of killed people all the time and he decided to just be a douche instead of violent.

    If JT becomes Robin, can't someone just whack the EiC? I mean, he's been in charge of a run of decent-to-bad stories his whole time, doesn't he have to go at some point?

    Dan Didio, the EiC, just had his contract renewed.

    Apparently the higher ups love him, despite ever-declining sales, a huge gap in sales between DC and their only real competitor, and most of fandom seemingly disliking what he's done with the line. But sales are higher now than when he took over, which I personally attribute to an increased interest in comics in general due to the proliferation of successful comic book movies, and Marvel's events hitting mainstream news outlets. But it looks like he's doing things right, so he's going to be around for the foreseeable future.

    But there's still no fucking way Jason Todd is becoming Robin, so the discussion's moot.

    Dan Didio's run with DC will never be a total loss. The Sinestro War happened under his watch.
