Robin, Batman's Cousin

Real Name: Vanderveer Wayne All Appearances: Batman #148 (1962)

Familial obligation requires that Bruce Wayne and his household host his cousin Vanderveer Wayne for a short while. He's the same age as Dick Grayson, meaning he immediately sees his cousin's ward as a rival. Dick shows him up at gymnastics in the Wayne Manor gymnasium, but gets castigated by Bruce for it - they have to keep their identities secret, dang it! Let the kid be a prick, who cares?

Well, Vanderveer cares. Seeing Batman & Robin's costumes while Alfred is moving them back to the Batcave, he concocts a plan to really show up Dick Grayson. He hires acrobat/actor Jumpy Regan to partner with him and springs into action as Robin where he knows Bruce & Dick will see. Having foiled the potential disaster that he arranged, he "reveals" to Dick that the only reason the Boy Wonder showed him up the other day was that Vanderveer was "protecting" his "secret identity".

Unfortunately for him, Lefty's a criminal and sees this Batman scam as a perfect way to steal the ice cream factory's payroll. The counterfeit Robin would have to help the real Dynamic Duo foil his partner's plan, an experience he finds properly humbling.

Vanderveer Wayne is easily one of the most obscure characters ever to appear in live action! He was a main character on the short-lived DC sitcom "Powerless", played by Alan Tudyk. There, he's Van Wayne, upper class twit cousin of Bruce Wayne and boss to the main characters. I keenly remember a gag from one episode where Van excitedly gets a text Bruce, only for it to turn out to be a request to stop using his HBO Go password.

Flash (1959) #111

something really wholesome and adorable is how wally writes to barry telling him about his exploits as kid flash.. i love reading wallys kid flash backups in the context of born to run.. and thinking kid flash was most likely his escape and makes him asking and dreaming about that special day at the start of his story here hit very hard... those few months were they all a dream.. he'd give anything to go back to central city be with his aunt iris.. and fight side by side with his hero the flash.. barry was inspired by the adventures of jay.. and throughout his tenure as kid flash.. barry inspired wally.. both were fanboys who had their dream come true to be like their hero it really does come full circle if you think about it LOOK AT HOW TINY HE IS HERE!!

Old t-shirts Marvel apparently sold in the 60s. This is one perk of reading old comics with ads still inside, I learn about things like this. I also learn about inflation, because I don't think anything like a shirt is sold for $1.50 nowadays. But I'll stop talking now, before I go on a long rant against money.
