Earth Station DCU Classics Issue 4 : 1970
As a new decade dawned, the times were a-changin’ at DC Comics, where the plan was to leave all that 1960s Silver Age silliness behind. In the pages of Detective Comics, master artist Neal Adams was redefining Batman to be as unlike Adam West as possible. And Detective #400 (Drew’s pick for this episode) introduced a character way too dark for TV (until the 90s animated series): the tragic antihero Man-Bat. There was also a backup story starring Robin and Batgirl, who would team up quite often throughout the 1970s. Can you stop Batgirl by building a brick wall around her? Let’s find out. Meanwhile, Kevin looks at a pair of Teen Titans comics that completely redefined the team. As Robin resigned (to go hang out with Batgirl, presumably) the rest of the Titans abandoned their superhero costumes and powers, and went to work for the mysterious Mr. Jupiter. They also picked up a couple of new members: a psychic go-go dancer (!) named Lilith and a guy named Mal. And while Mal worked with the Titans all through the 70s, for several years he had no superhero code name, costume, or powers. (He eventually did cycle through a series of increasingly ridiculous identities. His “Hornblower” costume was… not good.) It was a bumpy ride for Mal, but he is still considered DC’s first Black superhero. So join us as DC stumbles into the 70s. We’ll bring the Carpenter’s records.

To say I'm honored would be the understatement of the century, of course. I was beaming with excitement throughout the whole process and frankly, I still am! ;///;🖤🤍
I saw this post about Damian becoming a prosecutor and Harvey is so proud of him for it.
Thoughts?
DUUUDE I love that a lot, but also:
Damian becoming Gotham’s Steve Irwin. That boy would OBSESS.
Catch his mute footsteps slithering along the mansion’s hissing floorboards, with his mother’s infamous agility, sneaking into the cinema to watch documentaries at 6 AM.
Two-Face having multiple heart attacks when he catches their tiny demon glued to the TV.
“Why aren’t you in bed right now?”
“ Why can’t you talk to aligators?”
Bruce knows Damian does this, but he’d absolutely gaslight Harvey into thinking their little terror sleeps all night. He’s not at all going into the sewage system to leave treats for the critters.
Also; Harvey as the father whom VEHEMENTLY forbids Damian from bringing wild animals into their home. A dog? Fine. A cow? Better than a spider. A goddam dragon? Sure, why not.
“You get that damn rat OUT of my house RIGHT now, kid!”
“This is my BABA’S HOUSE, you vile, fatulous, sanctimonious scumbag!”
He gets his youngest sibling rights revoked. They’re given to Jason for a whole week. It’s simultaneously hilarious and terrible and it’s Harvey’s revenge against Bruce for sure.
