[livejournal.com profile] teh_no reminded me I haven't put this up yet.

Just after Tim Drake's father is murdered by Captain Boomerang, Bruce visits Wally at work to talk about it. In angsty Batman fashion, of course, this being the time period it was, but nevertheless...

Even without reading into this with Bruce/Wally goggles, one thing has to be admitted; Wally understands Bruce, and perhaps the entire Bat-family, better than Bruce himself does.

(The mistake that Wally made was forgetting a component to Ashley Zolomon's brakes when he repaired them, resulting in a near-fatal car crash. Because she's Zoom's wife, it was thought he was out for some kind of revenge for Zoom's attack on Linda; but it was just a mistake.)

What did Bruce say to Dick when he left for the Titans?

Good question... I imagine it was soemthing about loving him, or being worthwhile.

Whatever the case. Go Wally, you the speed-man!

I was going to write a sarcastic comment too, but I'm too busy laughing at everyone else's.

"Take out the trash." *insert stifled laughter because I am in the building's computer lab).

And of course, praise for the obligatory but ever-awesome "I am the goddam Batman."

It was either "I love you" or "I'm proud of you"

I also suppose it was the "I'm proud of you"-thing. After/during No Man's Land Bats said something along that line to Huntress and Dick confirmed that it was hsi highest praise.
For it to fit Tim it could also have been "I'm always there for you", but that sounds a little creepy for Bruce. Then again, after the whol ehugging last issue... oh well, whatever.

I'd forgotten how much I loved this. The panel where Wally calls out Bruce's name and then he turns around.... *sighs* It is canon it's not just my goggles...

Guh.

BTW? I've caught up with your Bat/Flash story and am in anxious need of the rest of it. Just thought you ought to know.

I just saw Superman Returns so now I'm full of plot-bunnies and inspiration.

*struggles against the Bruce/Wally converting process* Damn you, Victoria! I'm so jealous! Clark should be the one who knows about the Batfamily, NOT WALLY. Dammit! >:P

Everytime I see that scan, I imagine one of Wally's co-workers going out back saying, "Hey, Wally, where'd you leave the... oh. You're, uh... talking to Batman. Never mind."

Annoyed me too. It's bad enough Bats turning up and speaking to his secret identity as though they obviously know each other.

"So uh Wally, you hang out with superheroes often?"
"Oh! Nah. He was, er, asking me about, um, a, er, car. Thing. Car with a thing. My, look at the time."

Dammit, Wally is cuter than anyone should be allowed to be. And he should have just superspeed kicked Bruce in the junk. That's how I'd handle my bat problems. Or just whack him with a tennis racket.

"Yes, I've been in love. Here comes Bats..." Gotta love the timing.
Wally being Bruce's compass. Isn't that cool...
