Hard to see Vic suffering like that. I liked the meeting between Nightwing and Batwoman. I’m glad Tim found Bruce. Hopefully, he can get him back on track.

Wow I don’t recall this particular side road of Batman mythology going too many places later, the guy with eyes on his fingers etc.

Very nice first meeting between Batwoman and Nightwing, although the initial flirting made no sense.

But maybe that’s how people talked 15 years ago when they first met each other during a fierce battle lol.

Although that line about red heads before the scene above did sound an awful lot like 2021 @Vroom lol

Well, Nightwing and I do have a lot in common, so it stands to reason that would remind you of me. :wink:

The Ten Eyed Man does come back later on during Grant Morrison’s run of Batman, specifically the issue before the RIP arc.

I mean, it’s kind of understandable – these super-hot, athletic thrill seekers often meet while the adrenaline is pumping, you’d think there would be a lot more random hook-ups in superhero comics. Not between Dick and Kate, of course, but still.

Again, I believe Grant Morrison would address it again in Batman & Robin.
