YOU KNOW OF JASON TODD!!! *fall off a building with joy* He was the second Robin, after Dick. Joker killed him, then R'as al Ghul (or Talia) resurrected him. He promptly went insane, donned the Red Hood, and started killing people. Mostly bad people, of course.

How'd you know about him? :D

Well a few years ago I started watching the old Teen Titans show, and I decided to do some research about Robins and it kinda went on from there. Though I've never actually read any of the comics... heh.

They had Jason Todd in the Teen Titans??? O.o Newsflash! I've read a few comics here and there, from the '80s to the 2010's, so I have an idea of what's happening. Do you know of the two Robins who came after Jason?

Oh, no, I was looking up Robin, so he eventually came up. It took me a bit to remember, but Tim Drake and Damian Wayne, right? I don't know much about Tim, but I do know that Damian is a little brat.

Tim is "too boring to have anything questionable happen to him". Damian is a perfect brat. He's the son of Bruce Wayne and Talia al Ghul, and she raised him, so he's also a homicidal maniac.
Actually, Tim isn't boring, he just doesn't do anything big and bad like the others do. He's a nice kid, pretty normal, adopted by Bruce Wayne after Jack Drake was killed by some low-level Batman villain named Captain Boomerang (who came back to life later...this happens a lot).
Oh, now I remember: after I left, you had a Robin avatar! :P Was that from Teen Titans?

I watched Son of Batman, so that's how I know about Damian.
Yup!

Have you watched Batman Versus Robin: Court of Owls? I think it's the sequel. Oh, if you want to know about Jason, watch Batman: Under the Red Hood. There's some language and brutal fight scenes, but nothing R-rated. And it has an awesome-looking Jason! *swoons*

I saw some clips of Barman vs. Robin, such as one of the fight scenes between Batman and Robin and thinking, "Yeesh, this kid is 1/4 your height and weight, Batman. Just pin him down! Handcuff him, something! This is ridiculous!" So I never watched it.
And I'll have to see if I can find it. =)

Do you eat junk food sometimes?

What is the one, single food that you would never give up?

Yes. I'm actually eating some corn chips right now.

Noodles, maybe?

I can't go to sleep unless I've completed all the steps in my nightly routine. Which normally takes an hour or more. =P

Maybe Batman didn't want to hurt him...? :P

What's your normal bedtime?

It would have been a whole lot less painful for the both of them if he had just gone head and done it. =P Plus he does get in a few punches and also throws Robin to the ground.
I did rewatch the clip and with more of the context it makes more sense that he's trying to get Robin to stop on his and make a choice? So maybe you're right.

Later than it should be. =P Probably around 12:30.

*gasp* Batman beating his own son??? O.o MUST WATCH THIS MOVIE! :twisted:

If Batman were really as clever as he thinks himself to be, he'd have just tranquilized Damian from the get-go and been done with it. I saw a 30-sec clip of Nightwing and Robin fighting, and that fight would have been over a whole lot quicker if they had used the tranqs! I'm figuring, however, that Batman is trying to reason with Damian, and yeah, like you said, make a choice. Good grief, they should just get Zatanna to mind-control him or something.

12:30??? Goodness, girl! You're going to start having rings under your eyes like Luke in your avi! :P Then again, I didn't hit the sack until 3 am this morning.

Do you share a room with your sister, or do you ladies have separate boudoirs? :D

I already do. ;)

We have separate rooms, which is probably a good thing as I'd drive her crazy with all my Star Wars stuff and other junk and she'd drive me crazy with all her dolls.

Star Wars: Rebels was released by Disney in October last year, and the second season is this fall. It's set 14 years after the fall of the Republic and and 5 years before IV. It's actually really good!

They haven't shown up yet, though there have been rumors. It mostly focuses on a Jedi padawan, Kanan Jarrus who survived Order 66 and now leads a small crew of rebels against the Empire and winds up taking on his own padawan, Ezra Bridger.
