Gotham City Sirens 18 & 19:  Written by PETER CALLOWAY; Art by ANDRES GUINALDO & BIT

I'm still enjoying Gotham City Sirens on the whole, simply because I really like the relationship between Ivy, Selina, and Harley.  I especially like how the Harley/Selina friendship has been developing:

Zatana - oh well, I admit, Zatanna’s character in the comics is rather different than I know her from Smallville. I found it weird they write her in comics in such way. *sigh*

Poor Zatanna. Part of the difficulty with comics is there are so many people working on them, and so many stories...and they're all kind of canon, so if one person writes a crappy story with a character, there it is, and unless someone else does a LOT of work to get rid of it or explain it, it's part of their character forever... She really wasn't so bad until Identity Crisis, I don't think...to be honest, when I was a little girl she was one of my favorites because it was fun to read things backwards!

I saw on Twitter the image with Bruce/Selina kiss and I could see in some Batman comics that Bruce has feelings for Selina. I can’t help but wonder - are Bruce’s feelings the same as Selina’s? Has he ever been thinking about a possible marriage? And did he admit his feelings to Selina?

He does seem to think about it sometimes! In Hush especially (which is where he reveals his secret identity to her) he seems to be thinking about it very seriously. And on Earth-2 (which used to be a much more "real" place where people crossed over to quite often) he really did retire from being Batman and marry her, and became the police commissioner! They had a daughter named Helena, who became the Huntress...and there's a character in "our" world named Helena who's the Huntress but she's not Bruce's daughter and...ooooh, alternate worlds make me feel dizzy. @_@

I REALLY hope Harley doesn't fall in love with the Joker again! I know she probably can't kill him, but I want her to at least stay free of him...

WOW! Thanks for the info. I quite like the idea of Bruce as a police commissioner. Though - I wonder, is there Jim too on Eart-2? And Bruce and Selina getting married and even having a daughter - that's great (a nice and happy ending, isn't it? :)).
I admit, it's hard to imagine Bruce not being Batman for me. Anyway - Selina and Bruce as a couple - why not, IMO. Bruce deserves love (and Selina too). Because if I get it right, Selina is not more villain after Zatanna have used her magic on her. At least I think Selina is much better choice for Bruce than Talia (or do you think I'm wrong? I haven't read many comics with Selina or Talia, so I don't know their characters very well).

I can't remember what happens exactly to Jim Gordon in Earth-2! I don't think Bruce becomes Commissioner until later in his life...

I like Talia when she's written by Denny O'Neil, who created her--when he writes her she's pretty tough and interesting. Too often, though, she's written as being obsessed with having Bruce's babies because her father wants an heir, lol, which can get tedious!
