To be fair, they all turned 18 and were threatening to talk.

The 1950s called and want their joke back. Seriously, the joke of Batman and Robin being gay originally started in the 1950s.

I don't really know. I know it was from a Justice League comic sometime between Infinite Crisis in 2005 and the introduction of Damian Wayne in 2006. (So the fourth Robin referred to in that pic is Stephanie, not Damian.) I wasn't reading the Justice League title during that time because I didn't like what DC was doing with it, so I don't really know what exactly was going on in that pic.

All I did was answer someone's question about whether or not Batman has ever dipped in the Lazarus Pit, and I also comment on how Batman has gone through four Robins.

It was because Wally West's kids got super powers and Wally let them help them fight crime when he was out there as The Flash. But the kids were like 10 years old and they were trying to stop him from taking them out.

Thanks.

I miss Wally.

Wally and his kids got sidelined shortly after that because of the return of Barry Allen, and so they never got a chance to explore the kids getting Speed Force powers. It was such a huge waste of potential, all because Dan Didio and Geoff Johns had such a hard-on for bringing Barry back.

Re: Does Batman use PED's?

In the recent episode of Beware the Batman, they actually cover this. Bruce has Waynetech looking into some beef protine that would let Bruce only need a couple hours of sleep a night, not the normal amount. Not some strengh enhancer but improves his ability to be Batman longer per day.

No, a fictional character does not use PEDs.

The "its just a work of fiction" argument is so lame. Fiction and non-fiction mix all the time. Most of the Marvel universe is set in New York City for example.

We've never seen Batman take a leak. Doesn't mean he doesn't do that either.

The real question we should be asking is if Batman takes Cialis.

We have seen Batman and Robin go at it in the shower though.

Robin is actually a robot. Hugo Strange built robots of Dick and Alfred to mess with Bruce.

The artist is Don Newton, not Neal Adams. Its from Batman #356. (The next issue #357 is the first appearance of Jason Todd.)

So by this argument you're saying because New York is a real place King Kong was a true story?
