They actually showed Alan Scott fighting him in a flashback once (I think it was in the Black Canary issue of "Secret Origins"). Alan totally pwns him, until the Reaper happens to toss some wooden nunchucks at him -- they get through Alan's shield, natch, and knock him out cold. Reaper beats a hasty retreat, and supposedly that was the reason he left Gotham for so many years -- he was afraid he'd have the whole JSA on his ass.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-1140722991983625192006-02-23T14:29:00.000-05:002006-02-23T14:29:00.000-05:00It's a wonderful idea, Scip.

Honestly, I think Alan was so far before Bruce's time it wouldn't have occurred to him much to blame Alan for not being there.

Dick Grayson is the undisputed crown prince of the DCU. Like every good father/son relationship, Batman has learned as much from Robin as Robin has learned from Batman. He taught Batman everything Batman knows about teamwork and people skills (frankly, I think he taught Superman everything he knows about it as well).
