Dixon's understanding of Tim was second to none, including the people who actually created him. Dixon was always able to get the right balance of Tim as an eager beaver Batman fan and Tim as a mixed up kid who doesn't know where his life is going.

Those were the days.

Wizard Magazine's "character profile" for Catwoman.

I have such a soft spot for that Nineties solo Catwoman title. After Miller, you know, revamped her history, it was like most writers had no idea what to do with the character anymore. But eventually, the solo book positioned her as kind of a pseudo-Indiana Jones adventurer figure with a bit more emphasis on fortune and glory.

I also enjoyed those Wizard Character Profile features. Oddly enough tho, I can't recall any non-DC characters who ever got a profile.
