It seemed a very realistic friendship to me--Clark wants him to know he's there for him, and Bruce at some level (I think) wants the company, he's just not ready for a heart-to-heart. I agree. I haven't really read any of the new comics - *new* meaning anything after No Man's Land/old issues of Gotham Knights (which I still have to finish). I am trying to go chronolocically (which is hard enough)...*headdesk* There's just so much! Of course through fandom I know the rough storyline (and Damians' fate). Why do they do this to him? Give him children and take them away? Just for the added drama? As if Bruce isn't traumatised enough! There has to be something edgier, nastier, more horrifying so things don't get boring?? What happened to old-fashioned story-telling? And if you are going to revive the character (like Jason) - why kill him in the first place? Comic writers/editors - I don't understand you.
ETA: on a lighter note: The cowl ears in the first panel look hilarious!
