Comments on: Villains United #2: A Medical Review http://www.politedissent.com/archives/769 a blog of medicine, comics, television, science and other fun stuff Thu, 09 Feb 2012 23:50:22 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Chris Arndt http://www.politedissent.com/archives/769/comment-page-1#comment-3822 Chris Arndt Fri, 17 Jun 2005 17:17:38 +0000 http://politedissent.com/archives/769#comment-3822 Is it too late for the inaccuracy to be used in the story? Like "because the Crime Doctor was stupid enough to give him something non-lethal, Thomas Blake escapes". Yeah, I know it is. What I also is know is this: Chuck Dixon made a mistake in Robin: Year One that caused a discrepancy between that mini-series and the Batman: Prodigal storyline. For the Tradepaperback Collection Dixon and Scott Beatty made sure that the discrepancy was changed back so even if the individual issue has the event messed up, the book form agrees with the Prodigal story. So if you're leaning on the right people and squeezing the right throats, the Villains United trade will not reflect the mistake, just the copies of issue 2. A second printing is an opportunity. I won't tell. Is it too late for the inaccuracy to be used in the story?

I wish I could let someone else take the blame, but when making corrections, I forgot to add the phrase that would have made this logical. My fault, I knew it, and when I got the black and whites, it was too late. Argh. Gail It was my fault.
