Thanks for clueing me in! I went and watched the other ones. Very impressive, I love the actress.

I bought Oracle because I AM A CHUMP!

It's not that bad! I mean, it's a book with Babs in it and the art was decent, and she didn't get a magic character regression legs fix! Much worse buying decisions have been made.

Yeah, but Vanhook's writing really left a lot to be desired. At least I'm supporting the character? *shrug*

Those were pretty much my nitpicks with Battle For The Cowl: The Network. Cass' dialogue was too wordy, Helena was too mean and too trigger-happy, and while it's all well and good to mock the ridiculous costume it would be even better to just put her in something more practical instead. But it's still the most in-character Cass has been for a while, and a chance to see a lot of good characters who are currently bookless.

Hurray for Cass not losing her identity!

Agreed!

Given that all of Helena's character development in BoP was ignored (I mean, why should she be the only one to which it could actually stick *eyeroll*) - I don't think she's got 'no reason' to be mean to Cass. This is the girl who appeared out of nowhere and was instantly accepted into the family that Helena had worked so hard all her adult life to be accepted by. She even wore the suit that Helena designed and wore with the instant approval from bath Babs and Batman after they'd both told Helena outright that she wasn't "allowed" to wear it ( ... )

S'true. It would be IC for her uneven (is she crazy or just surly? Who knows!) characterization ten years ago, but not for today. Because you know, Helena was a thousand times more awesome after Gail was through with her. Oh no. We can't have that! Character development? Pshaw!

When did Cass quote Star Wars? *curious*

Ohhh. That's why Babs calls her Yoda.

...Well at least Babs in IC. She would totally notice any geek reference.

I also love Power Girl's cat.

The cat is in this? Oh my, this will be the best comic ever.

It was in the background for a few panels, looking grumpy, next to a box marked "Cat Toys". Apparently she takes the little horror to work. I'm hoping it will be more prominent in the future, hopefully harrassing her co workers.
