We've
maybe seen some subtle movement on the "give
Stephanie Brown a trophy case" movement lately, with some writers tossing in
wry remarks and
hallucinatory sequences and whatnot. Hints of support? Or maybe they're just
mocking those lobbying for a memorial for her. ...
I'm largely
agnostic on the issue. But here's another question for you: where's the display for
Jean-Paul Valley??

Sure, no one seemed to
like him all that much (although his series did last for 100 issues). But he
actually WAS the
Goddamned Batman for awhile. And he
was an agent of Batman's for
far longer than
Spoiler/Robin.
So if we're talking
trophy case equity, it seems we should be talking about
Azrael, too...

I think the Azrael statue is back in the 90's display room nobody talks about, and that not even Alfred is allowed to clean.
He'dead??
(See how I've been keeping up?)
Siskoid--yes, he was killed in the final issue of his own mag (#100). Although the body was never recovered "on screen"...
Mark--do ya think Alfred is like Jarvis, and threatens to quit if he has to dust the statue of "that #$%^ Azreal?"
You'd think he'd keep his energy for the bigger battles.
Like not having to dust the dinosaur or polish the giant penny.
