Today in Comics History, July 15, 1982: It doesn't actually have a time attached to it, but we've invested so much in this story, I just wanted to let you know Batman and Robin are A-OK

I thought that page sounded familiar and yeah, Barr used basically that exact same bit at the end of Detective Comics #570 in 1987. Robin pointing out he lost a lady he liked (Catwoman that time), but he saved a family and that's something. Then Batman says, "That's everything" and they swing off into the night.
ReplyDeleteI get writers are going to have tics or pet phrases, but is it plagiarizing if you're copying yourself?
Hey, Bully: Wrong Robin. Jason Todd hadn't even appeared yet.
