Nightwing #39(Jan. 2000)

Poor Babs... When will she learn not to trust Dick around other women?

  1. I feel bad for Babs, has she dated ANYONE since being shot? I remember reading she was with Ted Kord for a while right?

  2. Boy, I don't know... I'm not even sure her and Ted were ever actually dating or if they were just friends/working together(although I could be wrong). Huh, off the top of my head I can't think of Babs dating anybody but Dick, and we all know how well THAT always works out for her...

  3. Yeah, because everyone knows Dick is saving himself for marriage. :| If its one thing he picked up from Bruce it's bag as many hotties as you can. Too bad The Jinx can't get anyone besides Steph Brown.

  4. "Yeah, because everyone knows Dick is saving himself for marriage."BWA-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Oh, I needed that... Yeah, Dick def takes right after Bruce in the womanizing department, no questions asked. Now the Jinx is really a confusing case... The Jinx ALWAYS has girls throwing themselves at him and he's always so standoffish with them. Hell, half the time whenever a girl kisses Jinx he either looks surprised or horrified. The Jinx is one weird dude...

  5. I'm a big fan of the Ted Kord-like Bwa-hahaha so that made my day/night? Well I always figured he had some problems, especially when he left Ravager chained to that bed. I mean dude, Steph was gone, Cassie was missing Superboy STILL, you blew it brotha. Apparently he's dating Lucius Fox's daughter now in that DREADFUL Red Robin.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Yeah, my sister was actually trying to explain to me why Red Robin isn't as bad as people say, and I had to give her the old BWA-HAHAHA laugh! She told me he's hanging out with Fox's daughter and that he's a member of the League of Assassins or something along those lines.

  7. Lol @ the quick resurgence of the Bwahahaha. That thing is Gold Jerry, GOLD! Sorry, Seinfeld moment. Anyway, yeah last I read he was helping Ras or something cause Ras also wants to know where Bruce is. It wouldn't surprise me if some stupid Yost storyline revealed that Ras IS Bruce, and he's been using the Lazarus Pits.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Oh man, please don't even think that! I could see Yost pull some dumb BS like that out too! Jinx:"So when are we going to find Bruce Ra's?"
    Ra's:"I am Bruce... BWA-HAHAHAHAHA!!!"
    Jinx:"Oh."
    And then like 4 characters would be killed off in totally random, senseless ways. Yep, that sounds about right for a Yost book.

    You know, now that you've mentioned it, I can't stop with the "BWA-HAHAHAHA" laugh!

  9. Lol @ Oh. Thats such a lame response for someone he's traveled the World looking for.
    Dick: "Hey Tim, Connor, Spoiler, Bart, Bruce AND your parents are back!!!"
    Jinx: "Oh."

    Hm...I know what this means. You're not Rip Hunter *Rips off your mask* You're *gasp* Ted Kord!!!

    ReplyDelete
  10. Jeez Jinx, you could work up a little bit more excitement! Eh, maybe the Jinx has realized that he's a jinx and that they'll all be dead again in no time.

    That would be a pretty sweet swerve, but no, I am indeed Rip Hunter... Or am I?!?!

    ReplyDelete
  11. Good point, if everyone I loved died REPEATEDLY that'd bum me the hell out too.

    Hm...I'm gonna say no for 100 Alex, considering I just ripped your face and or mask off, so either you're NOT Rip Hunter or I have crazy face ripping strength.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Once again, I have to ask myself, why doesn't the Jinx just lock himself up in a cave somewhere, not for his own safety, but for the safety of everybody around him?

    Crazy face ripping strength??? Now that's an awesome sounding power! I'd love to walk up to a gaggle of villains(yes a gaggle!)and say, "Either turn yourselves in now or face the brutal horror of my crazy face ripping strength!!!" *Way to sidetrack him about your true identity fake-Rip. BWA-HAHAHAHA!!!*

    ReplyDelete
  13. Because then he's officially transform from Tim Drake to Grant Morrison. ;) Plus with his luck everyone outside the cave would be exposed to life-threatening radiation.

    That sounds like a power shared between Black Adam (Remember Psycho Pirate?) and Superboy/Man Prime.

    So...about that true Identity Rip Kord...lol @ that name. Sell Parachutes buddy?

    ReplyDelete
  14. Huh, now that I think about it, I guess there are a few characters out there with crazy face ripping powers. I can remember once Sabretooth ripped his own face off after Spidey webbed it up. That may be my favorite case of crazy face ripping strength.

    Rip Kord?!?! That has to be like THE best name ever! DC has GOT to bring in some relative of Ted who goes by that name.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Wait...lemme get this straight. He ripped...his OWN face off because there was webbing on it? Please post that scan if you can find it because that sounds amazing. It must've grown back due to his healing factor right?

    Lol, imagine if the Black Beetle is just an anagram of Rip and Ted thus becoming the all powerful Rip Kord. Dun Dun Dunnnn!

    ReplyDelete
  16. Ha, yeah, I've got to dig that one out. This was a REALLY early Sabretooth appearance, so I'm not even sure if it was established that he even had a healing factor!

    It'd be so awesome if that was Black Beetle's real identity. Then again, I don't care who BB turns out to be, I just want to know sometime soon!

    ReplyDelete
  17. I also wanna know...that's like REALLY bothering me. And we won't find out until all this Blackest Night stuff is over probably. I'm gonna guess that it's either Ted, Daniel or um...Michelle for some reason.

    ReplyDelete
  18. If BB turned out to be Michelle, I'd be TOTALLY surprised. The longer they leave BB's ID a secret, the more likely it is the reveal is going to be a huge letdown. Strike while the iron is hot and all that. I just hope it's not some lame d-list villain or worse, some unknown, new character.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Yeah, I agree they shouldn't keep holding it off. Btw I read the new Booster today, no spoilers of course but you're gonna love it. I agree that I hope its not someone new or someone lame it should be a surprise but a great one. Like Dan Garrett or something. Someone that it would make sense for it to be. Lol how would you feel if it was a future Jamie Reyes.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Ooo, the new Booster Gold was good? That's the Blackest Night x-over, right? I've prob got about 2 weeks before I get that issue...

    If it were a future Jamie Reyes, you probably wouldn't want to see the review for that comic on my blog... It would be VERY ugly!

    ReplyDelete
  21. Yeah, I loved it. I saw a review over at IGN and they gave it a 6.6 but they usually are kinda lame when it comes to their reviews. I'm sure you'll like it although it does have Jaime in it. But it more than makes up for that.

    Lol am I predicting a 1/10 rating if that issue ever comes?

    ReplyDelete
  22. Dude, that may get the "honor" of being one of the only 0 out of 10 scores on my blog!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Lol if that even happened would you want me to tell you beforehand so you don't even waste money on it?

    ReplyDelete
  24. Nah, sometimes I really enjoy just going all out on the blog over something REALLY bad. IMO some of my best work has come when I'm either furious at a comic or just plain stunned by something totally asinine. Trust me, if that ever did happen, my post for it would be totally off-the-walls crazy. My rant would be Warrior-esque!

    ReplyDelete
  25. Lol I'd pay to see that. I recall some of your past rants on bendis so I'm sure if Hai-me became the Black Beetle you'd probably blow a gasket and drop the Booster series from your pull list.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Ah yes, BENDIS... He's provided me with hours of crazed rants. That's one writer who really knows how to get on my nerves.

    "Hai-me"? I really like that name when it's spelled like that. That sounds like something a martial artist would scream out before breaking a cinder block or something. HAI-me!!!

    ReplyDelete
  27. Lmao, well in the case of his inevitable death, considering he's a Blue Beetle and therefore has a 2 outta 3 chance of getting squashed per se, feel free to yell out HAI-ME!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  28. I'm guessing that'll be more celebratory than a pained yell.

  29. Barbara/Dinah
    True Love <3

    ReplyDelete
  30. HA! That's probably the best way for the both of them to go! Especially Dinah!

    ReplyDelete
  31. You know what:

    This is all the proof I need that Babs/Dinah belong together :)

    ReplyDelete
  32. Awww, they're so cute together!

    Plus you'd have to think Babs wouldn't be fooling around behind Dinah's back... Well, unless Dick comes a-calling...

    ReplyDelete
  33. You know what I think Babs is tired of waiting for Dick and vice versa....its been too long and they should just leave at that...now with Dinah, on the otherhand,they would have some fun times.:D

    ReplyDelete
  34. That's a good point... I mean they were engaged and it STILL didn't work out. The only problem is that they're SO comfortable with each other I could easily see them falling back into each other's arms again. And THEN break up again!

    Now Dinah and Babs... THAT would be an interesting relationship! Plus if anything would get Dick to stop sniffing around Babs, I'd think a Babs/Dinah relationship would do it!

    ReplyDelete
  35. Ollie will flip out but no one would be surprised if Dinah left him =D

    and good point on the Dick/Babs relationship. They should just move along.

    Happy Memorial Day!

  36. Honestly, Dick Grayson and Barbara Gordon are the WORST couple since Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson.

    It needs to end like NOW!!!

    Barbara was too insecure about being in a wheelchair (plus she took that insecurity on EVERYONE) and I think Dick learned that one invaluable lesson: there is no pleasing a woman no matter what you do.
