What was that, Dick? "Is Barbara and Gordon okay?" Shouldn't that be "Are Barbara and Gordon okay?" After all, "is" is the singular form of the verb, and you're referring to plural subjects. Bruce Wayne didn't send you to all those expensive schools over the years just so you could talk like that, mister.

Don't you mean "over the years" not "over the year"? ;-)

If Batman can operate outside the laws of society, surely he can also operate outside the laws of grammar.
It's not your fault, Caleb, nobody can escape the fickle finger of grammar-based irony.
