That's actually why I prefer DC books. Every storyline, every plot, adds to the legend of the characters. Batman has Robin. The original Robin left when he figured out that Batman was never going to retire and let him take things over.

Then Batman met a new kid- a smart-mouthed violent kid who had the balls to try and steal hubcaps off the Batmobile. So Batman recruited him, trained him, and it turned out that this kid wasn't quite as collected- he wasn't nearly as good a Robin as the first one, and then he ran off to Africa to rescue his Mom, and got himself killed.

I LOVE that. That's a permanent part of the story now. Although it sucks, because some writers (Like McFarlane's Batman: Year Two, where Batman carries a gun, finds the guy who killed his parents, shoots him, and then fights "another" vigilante who looks curiosly Spawn-like) screw up the storyline in ways that don't even make sense.

Well, you can see see where he was trying to implement his ideas, only to get shot down over and over. And you can see that he really wanted to do Spawn, even then.

I dunno if I was a big Spawn fan.  Although the movie had awesome fight scenes, it was just...unsatisfing...

Since it is realy the only character McFarllen has ever really drawn, I'm surprised he never got it right. If you don't see what I mean, just look at his version of Spiderman, then look at Spawn. Hell, even the masks are nearly identical.

Yeah, look at the "Reaper" in Batman: Year Two.

There you go. He may have been a good artist, but he REALLY needed to expand his repetoir.
