(Of course, I’m especially interested in the long history of the Robin and Tim Drake roles.) <br /><br />I suspect Nicieza’s scripts would have avoided some of the problems I saw in pacing and emphasis if he’d been working under other circumstances.J.

It reminds me of what Mark Guggenheim did at the end of the Bart Allen <i>Flash</i> series, hearkening back to deaths of Flash past in order to give it all more resonance. <br /><br />Both comics, I think we'd agree, had their problems (and I actually think Guggenheim handled that ending better than Nicieza did here), but I appreciate especially writers thrust into difficult "pick-up writing" circumstances who still try to pay homage to what came before.collectededitionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698269790653953645noreply@blogger.com
