Devin Grayson gets a hard time from the fanboys, partly because she's a woman, partly because if these mewling representatives of humanity are to be believed she 'ruined' Nightwing, after having earlier in her life become fixated on the character and changed her name to be like his.
One-time Fanboy Rampage maestro Graeme mcMillan brought this to my attention at Blog@Newsarama.
Here's an excerpt:
A few paces ahead, Aquaman had caught up with Green Arrow.
"Your boy's looking good," he commented, both because it was true and because he was making an effort to honor the role he had assumed as Green Arrow's chief entertainment.
"Yeah, he is, isn't he?" Ollie sounded pleased. "That kid's always been a looker. They all are. No wonder people like to speculate."
Arthur frowned slightly as Ollie laughed. "I meant he looked healthy" Arthur clarified.
"Oh, yeah" Ollie was undaunted. "I meant the hero-sidekick thing, how everyone assumes we're doing dirty things with these gorgeous kids in the--"
Arthur used his most regally authoritative voice to cut his friend off. "I know what you meant".
"You never got that as much. Guess the whole breathing underwater thing is freaky enough. But Bats, man! Well, look at that kid, no wonder."
It's pretty steamy stuff, as you can see, and if you check the other quotes at the link above and the link from there, there's - mmm, there's a kind've militaristic longing 'tween soldier and officer type thing going on. It doesn't actually have any true slash, so far as I know, but it's a kind of fascinating artifact as it stands. |
