OKAY. READ THE COMICS. SO.
Streets of Gotham
- God, Damian! You've gone from this two dimentional spoiled brat to this three dimentional spoiled brat who obviously is now looking up to Dick as a brother, rather than a father. I think he's seeing him as a mentor and seems to like Alfred being around (as opposed to swearing at him) so it's like, yeah, he's not Tim and he's a little brash for a Robin. He's more of a Jason!Robin and I think he'd probably make a better Whitehat!Talon because I think Robin is what he envisioned as his duty and birthright and I think maybe what he needs is Dick for his individuality and understanding as I'm not sure he could ever function with Bruce!Bat as a Robin. For now, I'm happy with things but I'm waiting on Bruce coming back to pass judgement.
- Lousy chess player. Dude, Damian your puns are coming from Dick and they're lovely to see. Keep rubbing off on him, Dickiebird.
- "Please give me thirty seconds. No weapons." "I said that's ENOUGH." Dick is wonderful. I'm totally fangirling.
- "Cut the crap" Oh Dickie, I love you.
- "Old chum" LOL Elliot. I'm liking you.
- I like the way people are dressing. Dick and Damian look so normal and not out of place.
- "Criminals are a supersitious, cowardly lot." "That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard." Oh, I'm really loving the boys relationship.
- The JLA/JSA/Outsiders showing up was EPIC WIN.
- "Don't tell me you're crushing on Katana" He's following in your footsteps, Dickiebird.
- Loving Dick's new car. The red is very him.
Batgirl #1
- dsgjhdsjhgd STEPH. See previous post for reactions there. So pleased.
- Loving the idea of Babs becoming a mentor for all of the girls. Steph needs her guidance. Wendy needs her support. Cass is now finding her own identity without Bruce which I totally support. Misfit as 'a secret' but didn't appear. I'm guessing Babs' bitches is a go.
- Gold and eggplant colour change. Wonderfully transitioned and can't wait for the new costume.
- Mrs Brown wins at life. She's Joyce Summers, basically. Loving her.
- Big LOL at Steph's room. The pictures of her and Steph, her and Tim, Robin and the Robin symbol. Doesn't Tim!Robin look so much like DCAU!Robin?
- Steph, why are your bedcovers purple? Purple would look dumb!
- LOL Post it notes. Hello phoenixverse stuff. Mind you, she was always going to be Batgirl in PV (as I drew ages ago for Steph week) so big yay all over.
- I'm loving Leslie's mothering and the acknowledgement of Babs' issues. It's nice to see Leslie trying to deal with everything. I want Steph and Leslies interaction.
- Steph being at Gotham U is a big yay. And her doodling all the different bats is win. I'm loving Stephs 'Bats Through The Years' thing as she's grown up with Batman and Robin.
- Cass is being more open is a little strange but understandable considering the time that's passed. Loving her and Stephs relationship. The "behind you" and punching was brilliant.
- Dick's comment of "other Batgirl" is fabulous. It's not an instant "GO HOME STEPHANIE" which I love.
- Cass giving her Batgirl. I did so hope for that.
- Babs and her Dad is lovely. Him trying to set her up! Jim saying "little red headed mascot" is adorable and her reaction to Dick's call is a lovely touch.
- "Look out trash, here comes Steph!"
- Loving that Steph is the only one in her class without a laptop.
- Are we supposed to not ship Steph/Detective and Steph/Cass?
- I'm loving the Detective dude. I love the GCPD. "What? I'm new!" "Which one are you again?"
- Steph looking tough for the detective and she really is pulling off sounding like Cass.
- Batsignal Bat in the bathroom mirror! Squee!
- There's a colour coordination in this issue. Lots of purple/eggplant around Steph and lots of green for Babs. Loving it.
- I love the Browns house, especially the chalkboard and I love that Babs is so pissed off and yet, made her waffles (and is taking some herself).
- Loving that Dick recognised her as Steph. Totally thinking he did before she decowled. The idea of a Steph and Dick influenced Damian makes me very happy. If anyone can make him more awesome, they will do it!
