DC Relaunching AGAIN

[MikeandRaph87]

"It's my hope, that by facing the Joker head on and reclaiming her power, Barbara Gordon finally gets the last laugh." Cecil Castellucci's closing line is the exact thought I had when i finished reading it. The only thing left to wonder is how did Joker have a control device for her implant made? It was Barbara Gordon who got one on The Joker. I also was left to wonder if the last page was meant to reflect The Joker/Catwoman fight with them lying side by side in a pool of their own blood.

"Bitch Biscuit", LOL. That's a great name for man buns.

I wish I came up with it. I first heard the term from a girl I knew! Apparently wearing your hair like that doesn't get women to respect you. Shocking!

Yeah, my cellmate was a guy who'd been in-and-out a few times and on a several-months long stretch, he smartened me up to the deal with the food. I had never considered it BUT it made perfect sense.

One goddamn day was plenty for me. That food's f*cking terrible! Holy sh*t, I'd rather eat pussy.

Babs rising above the Killing Joke isn't new to her character, only not many people remember the other times she got her 'revenge' on the Joker in pre-flashpoint or whatever, because I don't think anyone really wants to see it. That's not something sexist to say, it's just some goals should be that unattainable. Just as Peter couldn't save Gwen or Uncle Ben.

I don't see the problem in allowing Joker the ultimate victory, just as they shouldn't have taken Jason's murder away from him either, it makes Batman's world all that more unpredictable, vulnerable and dangerous...that lives can be affected, horrifically altered, all in the name of following Bruce along on the crazy ride that is his mission...the hope comes in rising above being wronged by your bully by becoming something bigger than his crime to your life. Babs might get to give him a recite here and there, but she can never put him away or put it behind her permanently, she can defeat him by simply growing into a stronger force opposed to him, turning his scar into a symbol. That's what Oracle represented for fans and more importantly, for the disabled and handicapped...you don't have to take this literally lying down

Babs walking again did more damage than being crippled ever did. She was representation for people who deserved the word "representation", and DC took that representation away from them.

Whyyyyyyyy are you so good at this?

Wanna come over and go halves on a hooker?

Callgirl. When they're dead, they're just hookers.

[MikeandRaph87]

You guys are hooked on a feeling and not a good one.

Is Penguin going to lead the Gotham Underworld against Joker because Penguin got shot over Joker stealing Batman's resources?

What status quo could we expect for Ms. Gordon or Mr. Grayson after all is said and done?

Ol' Dickie Boy will finally remember who he fvcking is, so that's a win in my book.

The actress that Ultra-Humanite originally took over, she was a villain in her own right?

I would rather see Mr. Freeze and Captain Cold go at it. There is also Nora that needs to be subdued among at least two other ice themed villains.

So the Batgirl series ends so Barbara Gordon can become Oracle, but be able to walk? Just as Dick Grayson becomes himself once again I lose Batgirl...

It also states KGBeast was supposed to kill Nightwing? I thought he was supposed to injure him so he could be controlled by The Court of Owls?

Like I said, she's still in costume in the artwork, so she probably juggles being both Batgirl and Oracle, maybe leading a team of Batgirls which includes Steph and Cassie.

As long as Barbara Gordon does not give up the cowl others can tag along or be ordered around by her.

I'm absolutely fvcking down for that.

DC needs to remember that Huntress was a Batgirl, too!

Interview with incoming Wonder Woman writer Marikio Tamaki...she seems to infer the book's inclusion of Maxwell Lord was a mandate

https://www.gamesradar.com/new-wonde...pt-of-justice/

She's already creating far less anticipation for the book by saying the only supporting character in the book is Eta and a couple of JL cameos...and that interview itself is incredibly short, she doesn't apparently have that much to say about it. Either she's saving a bigger reveal for Fandome, or she's treading water for a few months.

Babs is back in a wheelchair...solicits say it's temporary, but DC solicitations also don't always prove truthful
