Blue Beetle! Jamie is the BBiest bb of them all ♥. A few years ago someone wrote a Yuletide fic about Tim coming to dinner at Jamie's with his family which was not written for me but EXACTLY what I'd requested and he is so adorable :-)
(BTW, did you know his name is not pronounced Jay-me, but Hi-me? /Things Wikipedia Taught Me.)
He is adorable! And I had my first canon introduction to Tim (well, to comics!Tim, not animated-with-Jason's-origin-story!Tim), so now I can say I know just a tiny bit about him that is not fanon. *snerk*

(all that artwork that is supposed to convey meaning is mostly lost on me. I am not a visual person, so I'm always like, "what am I missing...*tilts head* oh." Much harder than plain text.)
Yes, so much this. It took me ages to learn how to follow comics properly and I still end up having to force myself not to just read the speech bubbles. Actually, that is one thing that I like most about tumblr. Sometimes seeing a panel or page in isolation, without the narrative thread makes me look at it more closely and start to see exactly how much of the story is told visually.

*nod nod*
I do that first, then I do a quick scan of the art and try to take it all in together, but man, it's a lot more work!

btw, did you see all the Jason-as-Nightwing stuff that popped up yesterday? So ridiculously hot (especially when you ignore the bad dialogue). I don't know what it is about those blue stripes that go all the way down to the fingertip, but there's definitely something.
Yeah, it's so much easier to read a book. I came across an article about storytelling in comics last year that was a complete revelation and really changed the way that I read comics. I'd been completely missing most of the visual clues.

Oh God, I know. I think it is something about imagining where those two fingers might go. I did see it, it's from the bit where Jason is hotter than Dick because Dick has the awful long hair and then Jason gets turned into the tentacle monster, I believe.
My roommate and I haven't. We've been muttering about it ever since! We do have access to it on Netflix at the moment though, so will likely be watching it soon.

Yes. I'm sure that's it.

Bwah!
Where is the AU where they team up? (and Jason makes Dick get a haircut!)
