Can anyone provide me with a complete list of appearances by Stephanie Brown as Robin in Batman and associated comics? I tried the Spoiler Wikipedia page and didn't see one.

It's a bit stupid for the head of DC editorial to claim Stephanie was never really Robin when fans can point to a specific page in which Batman answers that specific question by telling her she was. I try not to be too much of a fanboy about these things, but sheesh.

I hate "continuity." It creates more problems than it solves.

And the girl Robin was an awesome idea, both times.

I'm watching Heroes and a commercial comes on. It seems to be about two kids who have extremely powerful gadgets they describe as "toys", and I say to myself, hey, this looks like "Mimsy Were the Borogoves", which is a short story I like.

And it is. I can say The Last Mimzy at least comes from good source material.

The website for the movie credits it to Lewis Padgett, but does not seem to mention that Padgett was a pseudonym for the team of Henry Kuttner and C(atherine) L. Moore.

Why are people in genre fiction always so heartbreakingly stupid?

I know, it all comes down to "tropes." But once you see this stuff enough times, it all kind of loses its flavor.
