@Zergrinch, If it helps, think of the eye colour thing as an ice-breaker to get the conversation started. Okay?

And I agree about Batman's skills being under-played. Yes YJ is a show about the sidekicks, BUT, Nightwing is Batman's protege and is supposedly well trained in the detective department. You would think that somewhere in the 5 year gap either one of them would have at least considered the possibility that those 16 hours may have been spent in space, yet both of them looked completely surprised by the idea.

I'm also not keen on the theory going around that M'gaan is able to manipulate Batman in relation to the whole comatose-Krolotean thing. I thought Batman possessed the mental acurity to block such outside mental attacks on his mind.

And I find it hard to believe that Batman wasn't able to locate Speedy. Chesire tells Roy something like she can go where the heroes don't/won't, but since when has Batman been afraid to dig in the dirt to find what he's looking for? Batman works from the shadows, frequently going to extreme lengths that the other "good guys" won't go to. The fact that Speedy was found in Tibet was another curious tidbit, because (and someone please correct me if I'm wrong) didn't Batman live and train in Tibet for a couple of years...? You'd think he'd still have contacts he could rely on.
