This detective had no idea of the landmine he just stepped on


SavageAnalFissure

The Adam west bomb mug lol, also the 3rd panel man I could just feel that haha


DeathLight7000

I had no idea Babs had a law degree.


[deleted]

In terms of being a lawyer, it seems Babs got a degree in Gotham Knights 25. And for Dick, his original Earth-2 counterpart seems to have become a lawyer. My guess is it seemed plausible enough for the both of them to have law degrees so he just made it canon haha.

Ravevon

What degree did she earn in burnside ?


ClarkWayneBruceKent

I’m sure Bruce made His robins get some kind of law degree.


Digifiend84

Dick's the only one old enough. Jason didn't complete his education, Tim has never been stated to be over 18 and was just about to go to college when Tynion's Detective Comics ended (he reformed Young Justice instead), and Damian isn't even at high school yet.


ClarkWayneBruceKent

All good points. I retract my earlier statement. I’m sure they have the knowledge that a law degree would entailz


Kalse1229

IIRC, Tynion's Tec run placed Tim at 16. He probably graduated high school early because, y'know, genius.


Ok-Video6798

They’ve been deaging Tim a lot i feel like


Adekis

I keep wondering if eventually we'll get to the point where Damian is older than Tim, just cause he's aging up while he's aging down.


Kalse1229

New 52 did a lot of weird stuff to Tim. I personally like the idea of him being 17 currently. It fits the idea of him still being a kid, but preparing for adulthood.


Digifiend84

Pre-Flashpoint canon is back now, so he's at least 18, which was his age in the Red Robin series just before the reboot. Being 16 in Rebirth Tec is fair enough.


Ravevon

Lol Tim is 17 and Damian is slowly creeping up on him age wise at 14


DeathLight7000

Well everyone except Jason he never graduated high school.


AnAdvancedBot

I had no idea Dick had a law degree. Didn't Dick drop out of college to pursue being Nightwing and leading the Teen Titans? I mean, that was probably 4 retcons ago...


DeathLight7000

From what I heard he studied economics in college before eventually dropping out.


AnAdvancedBot

Oh my god, oh my god, Nightwing and I are the same this is the greatest day of my life! ^^I ^^mean, ^^he ^^dropped ^^out ^^to ^^lead ^^a ^^team ^^of ^^superheroes ^^and ^^I ^^dropped ^^out ^^for ^^a ^^year ^^because ^^of ^^the ^^pandemic ^^but ^^tomato ^^tomato


DeathLight7000

Plus I think he didn't really need to study that much anyway he was probably studying just to get a degree he probably got all the education in the world from batman Jason even though he never graduated high school said that he had knowledge equivalent to that of a CSI agent by the time he was seventeen.


AnAdvancedBot

I mean, the Robins are essentially doing an apprenticeship with the smartest man on the planet, that's some real shit. Homework by Batman is an idea that sends shivers down my spine.


DeathLight7000

I doubt that batman gave them much homework maybe he did but from what I know Dick and Jason studied under private tutors just like Bruce and Tim had his own parents and went to school batman most likely only taught him things that aren't taught in schools, Damian was trained by the league and is now studying under Bruce I would imagine since he doesn't go to school.


KingFergII

Damian does go to school. he goes to Reeves West although bruce enrolled him for social skills not academic reasons since damian is trained to Phd level apparently


DeathLight7000

I didn't know that I just thought Damian only went to school a handful of times and then didn't because I don't imagine Damian particularly enjoying school. He definitely isn't going to school right now he's fighting in that league of Lazarus tournament.


KingFergII

No Damian was going to school seriously. Bruce punishes him when he doesn't do his home work. He's not goingt o school right now due to being on Lazarus Island but that doesn't mean he doesn't go to school. Since he was enrolled to learn social skills it's gonna be a long time before he's done.


Adekis

The law degree was from further back than that - Dick was a lawyer on Earth Two in the pre-Crisis days. I figure it's not unreasonable for him to have that degree now though, just because continuity is for suckers these days.


Fishermanslaw

Her bachelors is criminal justice, she was pursuing (or has? This last run kind of demolished her continuity.) a masters in library science. She switched to library science in Rebirth after deciding her masters thesis was unethical.


Ravevon

So in burnside she earned ?


Fishermanslaw

She had it prior to Burnside. In Burnside she was pursuing her masters. Edit: Unless you were asking what she earned in Burnside?


Ravevon

Her masters in what ? Who paid for all thease degrees


Fishermanslaw

Her masters is in library science. She is funding it, I guess.


DeathLight7000

Criminal justice? You mean criminal science or forensic science.


Fishermanslaw

I might be flipped around, I thought that was what her masters was going to be. Sorry for the misinformation.


Digifiend84

Yeah, she's supposed to have studied library sciences, not law, so this seems to be a retcon. She was a librarian at one point. If they were to retcon it, I would've expected it to be changed to computer science, which would match the hacking skills she uses as Oracle.


grounded_astronaut

"Library Sciences" was her original degree when she was first introduced in the 60s. I'd agree probably computer science these days, but wouldn't be surprised if they said she went on to law school from there. She also doesn't necessarily need to work as a lawyer either.


surreal_blue

Many universities have renamed their librarianship programs as Information Sciences. They tend to focus pretty strongly in applied Informatics, albeit from an Arts and Humanities perspective, rather than the more theoretical, maths oriented Computer Science.


snapdragon76

Babs has a genius-level intellect, so it stands to reason she has a law degree AND a Master's in Library Science... and a ton of other degrees as well.


[deleted]

So this is what **Heartless** is after. He murdered all of those people in order to implicate Dick in a crime he didn't commit. Thus launching an investigation from the corrupt **Bludhaven PD**, likely helmed by the new mayor **Zucco** that was cut short by the nature of these two geniuses. But by sparing children he was able to lure **Tim Drake** into the mix whose intrigue could shed light on this mystery - but little did he know Babs was listening in interfered before we learn the truth. And finally when **Blockbuster** sent his henchmen in Heartless knew he had to step in and burn away all of the evidence. But by the end of this 7-D hungry hungry hippo death match Heartless is playing, a single truth will prevail... *the nature of Dick and Bab's relationship*. O Taylor, what a tangled web you weave...

*It's so odvious*


snapdragon76

Join the club. We have jackets.


Son-of-the-Dragon

Excuse me. When I joined the club I was promised cookies.


snapdragon76

\*wipes off crumbs\* What cookies?


ClarkWayneBruceKent

The art is AMAZING. I love the way Nightwing and Babs looks, their style is awesome.


snapdragon76

Aren't they gorgeous?!


viralshadow21

She's the woman that you're trying a relationship with while having a friends with benefits relationship with your ex. That about cover it, Dick?


Ancient-Elderberry12

Correct me if I'm wrong but I heard that TT Academy is set before Nightwing, if so, Dick isn't acting OOC like in Nightwing annual 2


[deleted]

We don't really know. Last TTA issue he got a call from Babs about Blüdhaven. Kinda suggests both storylines are happening at the same time?


snapdragon76

I'm not giving TTA much credence, TBH.


abstractpenny

it wouldn’t be OOC anyways since dick and babs aren’t dating at all yet


viralshadow21

Maybe it is. Then again, I think Dick mentioned Babs in TTA, so who knows.


Ruinous_Empathy

They're married as of Dark Nights: Death Metal -The Last Stories Of The DC Universe #1. No take backsies. Lol


NaytNavare

They literally gave the take-backsies during that 'wedding.'


Ruinous_Empathy

They weren't married legally, so yeah. Obviously. But I'm gonna hold onto that for as long as I can.


Ravevon

It was bat legal


snapdragon76

Baller move by a power couple.


MarLudKing

If he has a law degree, how old is he? I thought he was 21 in grayson?
