I have long been on record about feeling that there is too much duplication of characters, and the multiple Hulks and Robins running around are some of the prime culprits. Still, I have to admit that there have been some fun stories involving these two guys. It all depends on the creative team, after all. Even so, my preference would be to have Thunderbolt Ross as his old military self, and Tim Drake as the third (or even second) Robin. I don't know if those genies are ever going back into the bottle though....
Agreed about the first sentence. The blessing of DC Comics is the novelty found in making different versions of their prime heros, and even alternate versions of the DC Universe via the Multiverse. The curse of DC Comics is that they ALWAYS end up overdoing it at some point.
ReplyDeleteThis site is great. Still waiting on "Turok and Kazar vs Devil Dinosaur" and "Amanda Waller and Martha Washington vs The Sons Of The Serpent."
ReplyDeleteJust so long as _your_ Red Robin doesn't try to paralyze the Red Hulk with strikes to his pressure points. That was the only thing I hated about the Batman/Hulk crossover back in the early Eighties!
ReplyDeleteSo I take it this was a sequel to TB&TB: The Lost Issue #142?
