“You now what I like?,” says my fellow register jockey at work today. “The secret identity of a male model.”
He now has my attention. “Male model?,” I ask. After all, ‘model’ is one of the most popular occupations for the female super-set, so male model is an interesting choice.
“Yep. Nightwing’s a male model.”
“No way!,” I exclaim. I mean, it makes sense in a way considering his fangirl-bait status, but still!
“And do you know what he models? Superheroes.”
Before I have time to ask, he continues. “And do you know which superhero he models? Nightwing.”
“You’re kidding,” I demand of him.
“Latest issue! He’s in the show and a guy in the audience is like ‘Hey, that guy is too good at this. He must be The Real Thing! And guess who it is?”
There is no way I could possibly guess anything at this point.
“It’s Jason Todd!,” he tells me with glee. “And they fight! On the runway!”
I am stunned. “…. get me this issue,” I tell him. Sadly, I wasn’t able to take it home in time, but I can confirm that visually that has to be what occured, despite DC’s write-up on its website.
Why could I have gotten that as a preview?
