It's almost hard to believe she can be so calculating at such a young age, but it's clear that the girl is an outright genius! ^_^ Go Babs!

She...might be something of an Ender Wiggin clone here. Probably smarter than in the original canon, but I decided to have some fun with her...

Isn't there a rule about that somewhere? That if a thread goes on long enough, Nazis will eventually be brought up? *shrug*

There is! Godwin's Law! :) She breaks it on purpose! :)

It was great to see her viewing things from all sides, and even coming to other realizations after watching the video more closely.

She's got her bias, but I do like that she's not closed-minded about Superman (thank goodness!)

And the home situation... Man, she's *already* got Bat-sized issues! :( The thought that her dad might not come home one night was just heart breaking.

Imagine being a cop's daughter in Gotham...an honest cop's daughter in Gotham. Man, she must be terrified all the time...

And everyone should have a Cthulhu plushie, really. *wants to order one!*

Thanks so much for the comment!

Waaaay late on this one...

Re: Babs as Ender Wiggin clone, I was actually thinking she more closely resembled his big sister, Valentine, since she and the "evil" big brother were the ones with all the sock puppets manipulating world politics. And Babs seems more of the benevolent type.

That's true, she really is modeled more on Valentine--no running around doing genocide for Junior, lol. :)
