My actually favorite Titan was always Gar Logan. I guess I also felt like a displaced green teen then. <br />So I saw Nightwing and Kory's relationship grow... and then fade.<br />Don't get mad at me Random but right now, I would prefer Babs.<br />Anyway.

And I'm sorry, but that relationship just always seemed to "click" so much more to me, the chemistry, the 'fire' (Yes, I know, but the terminology fits). I like Nightwing better when he's with her. He's less of an ass. She pulls him out of the "Bat" mindset, which is healthy for him. Besides which, I love Starfire. Everyone has always just written her off as a bimbo, and I don't think she is. So I'm rooting for her. Nothing against Babs, I love her to death. I just don't want her with Dick.Randomnerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11216600316804854172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144911575623105385.post-15378387197075379352011-01-30T17:11:31.633-08:002011-01-30T17:11:31.633-08:00Damn, I hate to see friends fight, but I am an ins...Damn, I hate to see friends fight, but I am an instigator by nature. And this is one fight we'll all benefit from. <br /><br />...Sorry Random, most of us. Although Izzy (my 4 year old) disagrees with you. She's not too keen on Starfire, as she's got designs on Robin herself and wants the "competition" out of the way. The whole thing kind of creeps me out, but she's a geek through and through like her parents so I've gotta love it.CDerosbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02207702589895791476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144911575623105385.post-85197643093912949102011-01-30T16:18:06.776-08:002011-01-30T16:18:06.776-08:00As a red head any ginga stepping into a major pop ...As a red head any ginga stepping into a major pop culture role gets the thumbs up from me - for too long it was just Daphne from Scooby Doo and that Archie fella.<br /><br />Glad I'm not the only one seeing Babs as the stop stone in the reunion of Dick and Starfire Random - I've been thinking that for a while too!<br /><br />As for the girls of the blogs battle - well now I'm aware of it I might have to do something about it! ;DIADWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08339648236279349271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144911575623105385.post-69182435989776245382011-01-30T06:39:45.864-08:002011-01-30T06:39:45.864-08:00Shag, I'll concede you the victory for now, as...Shag, I'll concede you the victory for now, as my wife does not currently have red hair, and you were the one who gave us R2DTat (the girl with the tattoos and the R2D2 one-piece). I'm sure I can speak for Dave and myself when I say "thank you for that".<br /><br />And technically this is all Mrs. D's fault as she's the one who really got me into comics and introduced me to Rogue and Psylocke in the first place. I blame her. And society. And The Man, whoever the hell he is. But, as she does seem to have a thing for guys that look like Danny Devito as the Penguin, I guess it's a win for me too.CDerosbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02207702589895791476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144911575623105385.post-61734205702936795282011-01-30T05:51:34.452-08:002011-01-30T05:51:34.452-08:00Heh.

I always like Babs better when she's not messing up the potential Nightwing/Starfire reunion I have playing in my head. But I do agree that it's a character they reworked CORRECTLY. They didn't have her miraculously recover, they didn't give her superpowers, or a mech suit. They stuck her in a wheel chair. And let her use her brain. I love it. Plus, she's a red head, and hot.

Well worth the time and money.<br /><br />Dick and Babs have been somewhat involved going back to their early Robin and Batgirl days. The sort of love story about two kids that are crazy about each other, but never together. They finally got together as Oracle and Nightwing. They were quite an item for a while. ONE YEAR LATER changed all that.<br /><br />Again, great comics. Worth reading.<br /><br />And for the record, I win. I married a gorgeous redhead in real life. :)<br /><br />Thanks again,<br />The Irredeemable Shag<br />http://firestormfan.comThe Irredeemable Shaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01620741461584124844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144911575623105385.post-82902725811225361272011-01-29T18:56:57.588-08:002011-01-29T18:56:57.588-08:00yeah but Shag at Once Upon A Geek had the red head...yeah but Shag at Once Upon A Geek had the red headed tattoo chick :)Shlomo Ben Hungstienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07238927958290618109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144911575623105385.post-67163671712321662732011-01-29T14:53:52.865-08:002011-01-29T14:53:52.865-08:00Yes indeed.
