Comic of the Week: Batman #691

Before I get right to it, I wanna let you know that I’m one of those people who want Tim Drake to be Robin in the cool red and black costume, Dick Grayson to be Nightwing, Damien to be retconned right out of fucking existence and Bruce to be Batman again. It’s not because I don’t like change - I think change is good in a the comic book medium - but because a smiling Batman doesn’t sit right with me. Oh, and Bruce is the most gigantic asshole in all of comicdom, and everyone loves gigantic assholes.

That brings me to Batman #691 where in a world with a dead Bruce Wayne, he still manages to be a total dick.
