Hooray for Wolfman writing Nightwing! Boo for no more Dick/Babs :(

So, the proposal was just to tease us? ::sniffle::

I know! Wolfman! It's like a peace offering or something. We're sorry we screwed up the character so bad, here, we're going to bring back one of the old school writers who actually understood him. The only way to top that would be to bring back Chuck Dixon.

I don't care what Didio says. Feh. Dick/Babs is Dick/Babs, so there :p

::nods:: Dick/Babs rocks.

And I guess I'll keep buying Nightwing, if I know a writer with a clue is coming!

The bad news is that when asked whether there would be more about the Dick/Babs relationship, Dan Didio said “Not if I can help it, and guess what - I can.”

Y'know, I don't even read any Bat-family titles, and that ticks me off anyway.

Thank you for the offer of solidarity *g* Considering that this is, in fact, a canonical pairing (well, until canon broke them up) he's being very cavalier about dissing them.

To some? It's like denying Clark/Lois.

Hey, I still remember Robin making a blatant pass at Batgirl in some issue in the 1970s. (She deflected him.)

Glad the play turned out well. We spent yesterday being very lazy. Were you in the park all day?

dotsomething July 2 2006, 18:54:28 UTC

Went home for a nap in the afternoon.

Mmmm. Lazy. :)

Central Park must be under contract--the wind was awesome the night I saw it too.

I can't believe Aunt Mae was waiting to go to the bathroom. It's probably even stranger than the idea of the wood coming to the castle for Macbeth. Aunt Mae? In that bathroom? Go Rosemary Harris!

Am excited for this Nightwing news, but I love Dick/Babs.

Mwa! They're going to have to start listing it in the credits:
PARK, CENTRAL (scenery & ambience). Central Park has been providing atmosphere at the Delacourt Theater for many years now. It is most proud of its recent role as Birnam Wood in Macbeth.

Am excited for this Nightwing news, but I love Dick/Babs.

DC Comics is going to continue to be love/hate for me, evidently. :/

Sorry I missed that. Moises Kaufman the director is amazing. He's the guy responsible for "3 Trials of Oscar Wilde" and "Laramie Project"

I seem to be lucky about seeing Liev Schreiber in stage plays, probably because this is his 3rd time at Shakespeare in the Park. I know I saw him in Henry V. Did he do Hamlet there? Because I think I saw his Hamlet (but you'd think I'd remember that!).
