Speaking of Robin, does anybody remember an interview with Marv Wolfman in
which he implied there would be a story in which "Starfire finds out that
Dick can't always be the Teen Wonder", with the implication being (well, with
my inference being, anyway) that this meant that, well, err, umm, that Dick
would experience some, err, umm, *circulatory difficulties* in the region
between the navel and the knees?  Sounds a bit racy, but I could see it
done subtly enough ("Don't worry, Dick, it happens to just about *all* men
at some time, even on Tamaran, and I still love you anyway...") not to come
across as too silly...  Mainstream comics have already dealt very subtly with
a gay character (unless I'm *really* misreading DeMatteis, Steve Rogers' friend
from his youth (Andrew?  Some name beginning with an "A", anyway) and his
roommate Michael were supposed to be lovers), so maybe it's time for another
taboo to break.
