Tim learns more about Bruce and Dick from Alfred.
I have this issue in the A
Lonely Place of Dying Trade Paperback.
Tim tells Dick that Batman needs a Robin around so he can
have someone to care about, and someone to care about him. Dick leaves, and Alfred is left to comfort the boy. They spend
the afternoon talking about the complicated relationship between Bruce and
Dick.
Later, Alfred informs Tim that Dick just activated his
homing signal…and it was quickly cut off.
Notes of Interest:
1) Tim shares Alfred’s concern for Bruce and Dick as well as
the idea that Bruce does need someone
around.
WTF? Moment: In
addition to connecting Tim to Dick Grayson, Marv Wolfman and George Perez show
a friendship developing between Alfred and Tim. It works. I know I’m dating
myself, but it kind of reminds me of the middle seasons of M*A*S*H* where Col.
Sherman Potter bonds with Radar. The old and young (or old and new, depending
on your interpretation) are working together to understand and try to control
the insanity around them, not just from the war but from the doctors and nurses
of the camp whom they both care for.
