I love Steph's origin as told in the Secret Origins 80 page giant- I just overall think it strengthens her character by giving her a lot of pathos and adding to her heroism (which isn't something writers were focused on in her actual intro in detective comics #647 since she was just meant to act as a plot device back then) BUT there is one tiny detail in it i will begrudge, and that is the portrayal of her having a minor love at first sight moment for tim
Secret origins 80 page giant, ID in alt
(or well, technically this was their second meeting in that story (the brick was the first) so...love at second sight?)
Mostly because Stephanie showed no interest in her introduction and only showed romantic feelings towards Tim AFTER this moment here:

Straight up the progression here goes:
The adventure in 'tec where they first meet -> Tim investigating the same crime scene as Steph -> she beats him up not knowing it's him at first, apologizes but says he shouldn't have scared her -> he remembers her/the moniker she goes by -> they talk about plot for a few pages -> Stephanie starts flirting
Robin (1993) #4, ID in alt
Which...is so fascinating to me and says so much about Stephanie. She highlights the fact that Tim "remembered" her. Like. Steph. Girl. This is our bar? It's sweet but kind of speaks to how much Stephanie is ignored at home/how little and sporadically she's shown interacting with her peers (and rarely ever the same kids twice). Her idea of peak romance is just...being on someone's mind even when you're not there.
Kind of also adds layers to Steph's proclivity towards jealousy later on, a manifestation of her insecurity and loneliness (though don't get it twisted, she's not written this way bc Dixon and co think it's an interesting character flaw, they wrote it bc they think it's an inherent character flaw of (particularly young) women/girls, which is very apparent in how he approaches Ariana's character as well from what I've read)
Also the fact that Steph becomes so smitten for Tim almost immediately after this is (a few issues later she aggressively flirts with him during AN ACTIVE HOSTAGE SITUATION. WHERE SHE'S THE HOSTAGE) again is kind of a mixture of kind of funny and sad. One boy is nice to her once and she's fully ready to wife him. Girl you are deranged (affectionate) (concerned)

my favourite doctor henry jekylls, ranked:
1. anthony andrews (nightmare classics ep 1989)
2. anthony warlow (jekyll & hyde the gothic musical thriller 1995)
3. john barrymore (dr jekyll and mr hyde 1920)
4. fredric march (dr jekyll and mr hyde 1931)
5. jason flemyng (league of extraordinary gentlemen 2003)
and in terms of book accuracy, i believe anthony andrews' portrayal did it best.

duality and contrasts: by combining animal parts, the chimera represents the coexistence of opposites, such as strength and vulnerability, courage and fear, and life and death. force of nature: as a fire-breathing beast, the chimera symbolizes the uncontrollable and destructive forces of nature .

had a dream last night that Sunday became playable and i managed to pull him but he hated my ideology and portrayal of him so much that at the last second, instead of joining my character roster, he jumped out of the character splash art and into the void of space, erasing himself from existence forever. what on earth was that
