TT has been fun for years now. I even like what > they are doing with Robin. Robin has always been my favorite. 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. Guy Harris {seismo,ihnp4,allegra}!rlgvax!guy
