::sigh:: I'll add it to my list of deaths that didn't happen in my world. At this point, the list is so long, I've lost track of half of them.

Well, I don't know yet if she's dead. Maybe Hush hooked her up to one of those blood pumping machines, eh? And then he'll be extra gruesome and taunt Bruce with Selina's heart and it'll be like a really bad metaphor. *muffles laughter*

But I'm not joking about Zatanna fixing it, if Selina's not quite dead (looks around for Rodents of Unusual Size). After all, this is Diniverse where Bruce and Zatanna a sekretly in deep and abiding love... even though Bruce virulently mistrusts her after his mindwipe... so maybe she would do it out of love. *makes doe eyes*

Har!

I have to admit to liking Bruce/Zatanna despite the fact it, well, is incredibly violently OOC ;) But it's the sort of ship I like to keep in fanon. ::shakes head:: In my mind, that whole Bruce/Zatanna thing was a good fic I read that just happened to have pretty pictures...

And like you, I'm at the point of "Oh look, someone else died ::yawn::. Is there anything good on TV tonight?"

Oh, I can see how it could work, what with Zatanna being the girl it's almost impossible to kill. Like Wonder Woman. But, it doesn't involve Catwoman so I'm not interested. ;) You know me.

I don't think there's anything good on TV tonight. We watched a Romulan related TNG episode that made it blatantly clear that Picard and Sarek were lovers. Amanda probably rolled her eyes at that, too. (Personally, I think Vulcans are into free-love, despite their born-married social norm).

she's still alive, but i really can't see how. seems to stretch the limits of medical possibility.

funny, i posted the same thing about zatanna in some other forum--would be such a copout if dini writes her saving Selina with magic. i would hate that.

there are quite a few other inconsistencies in the story that bugged me as well...

Yep. I read the issue to mock it properly. *g* Believe it or not, that gizmo is real. It's used to keep a patient alive during heart transplants and works by pumping blood through a filtration/oxygenation unit, while also chilling it to generate a state of mild hypothermia which slows metabolic processes. It's pretty cool. I found the little boy turning into a muscle-bound grown man to be way more implausible. Zatanna could totally magic up a new heart. *giggles*

yeah, that whole contraption may be real, but what i find to be a stretch was that he operates on her (presumably to take her heart out) in one location, transports her via ambulance now attached to the entire setup (must have been a logistical nightmare loading/unloading, can they even fit into the ambulance), and now she's in a proper hospital. i mean, I know she's tough and all, but surely all that carting her body around while it's in that delicate state would have some adverse consequences...plus how long can one be hooked up to that machine, all the way till issue 850 ( ... )

Oh yes, that. Um, magic. It fit in the ambulance via magic. And it only took four minutes to travel to the hospital. Yes. *looks shifty*

The story is full of holes, but I believe Hush's logic is: Bruce couldn't possibly love Selina because she's trash; he's compelled to be protective of her because she was an orphan. Hence the whole need to protect lost children metaphor. (Don't you just love infantilization of female characters? It's so... romantic, pure and castrating or something). But I think that may be Hush's psychological problem with women, which he's projecting onto Bruce.

I doubt Scarecrow cares about Hush's plans - he's too self-absorbed with his own needs (to kill Batman).
