The GLs seem to be doing the best with the rebooting than the other characters.ShellyShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14183404615688013084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15520935.post-24801795685498745062011-06-07T16:29:48.662-04:002011-06-07T16:29:48.662-04:00I'm rather surprised by this move.

The Bat books aren't my favorites, but still...it seems very arbitrary.SallyPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05592635194271250605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15520935.post-89772138120909163772011-06-07T09:24:41.955-04:002011-06-07T09:24:41.955-04:00I will add that it adds NADA and ZILCH.

I like characters who evolve and grow and mature.ShellyShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14183404615688013084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15520935.post-63603505970833769332011-06-07T05:04:47.037-04:002011-06-07T05:04:47.037-04:00I'm with you.

Answer: ZERO. NONE. NOTHING. This adds absolutely nothing to Barbara Gordon, Cassandra Cain, Stephanie Brown or any other Bat-character. It represents a regression in storytelling in every conceivable sense of the word. This is the final proof that the DC honchos are trying to recreate their childhood comics and are not actually interesting in telling good NEW stories with the NEW characters they have.MetFanMachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09191993046517726498noreply@blogger.com
