I look forward to two things at the start of the month. My paycheque, and new Batman and Sons strips

[icon_uk]

Next week is Mothers Day for American type mothers.... (The UK had ours weeks ago) so consider this suitable advanced warning. You have no excuse for forgetting to send a card now!!

Remember this heartbreaking little scene from last years Mother's Day strip? Well this is the "What happened next"



If you can, give your mum's a call folks. If you can't, well, memories are good too.



And we also have the follow up to THIS scene...



Who's the culprit? Who has the picture?























I KNEW it! :) So we have Dick and Jason in collusion, and TIM being the one with the incriminating proof! The bird boys... they're sneaky!

But wait, there's more.....

I'm sure there's context for this, but I'm not sure I care what it is



And here we have perhaps a logical extension of Batman and Sons.... Wonder Woman and Sisters!




I adore Cassie's expression (I have a niece who can give that exact same look, and when she does... RUN), and also love Roy in the background!

As usual, icons can be found here

Dang it, ya beat me to it.

Nice to share the Black_Cat love, though.

:)

[psychopathicus_rex]

Who needs context? Dogpile!
Hmm, do I spot a sister series in the works?

[magnetic_regina]

Man, I love Jason's pose in the Bat!Pile.

[icon_uk]

Hey, he's on top of Dick and Bruce, that's a plus... and I don't mean that in any inappropriate way I hasten to add!

[magnetic_regina]

I like to think that Jason and Terry's smiles mean that this was a joint plan. Tim may be Terry's favourite but he needs to bond out with his other brothers too.

[retro_nouveau]

I still love love LOVE that Terry's parents are Bruce and Selina in the BCU. I really think that black-haired Terry and Matt had DNA from TWO external sources.

Jason's definitely got a "love it when a plan comes together" expression, plus it almost looks like he's leaning on Bruce's head.

Ok, girls, arms akimbo! I love that Diana had a Wonder backdrop created for a picture, and the boys wandered behind it. Roy's taking a picture of Diana's backside? I think Garth is worried that Wally's the only one who can possibly flee fast enough. Email me, Roy! Assuming your camera isn't crushed in the next few seconds...

[sweettart1823]

Ahahaha ohh Cassie so adorable xD Reminds me of my friends daughter who is like four and tries really really hard to be so tough. It's so cute <3

[jeyl]

I want to express with every fiber of my being how much I hate this.. this stupid....no. That's wrong. It's not the comic. This comic is good clean fun. It's cute, well done and it makes a lot of people happy. But god, a mother who's dead and six feet under. Why not? At least he'll have a father figure to go back to. Cause.... mother's aren't as key as fathers are.

Wonder Woman and sisters. Maybe in some alternate reality. Thanks for the one shot appearance Wonder Woman. See you after the next five or six Batman or Superman dedicated titles, and even than you'll probably be restricted to Justice League status.

No. There is nothing wrong with this comic and certainly nothing wrong with the writers or artists who have created it. I don't hate it. I just hate how it reminds me of everything I hate about super hero stories these days.

Ya, sorry about this.

[icon_uk]

That came across a rather... random to be honest, so I'm not quite sure what point you were ultimately trying to make.

However, I think you're missing the point completely on this with your choice of nits to pick. Tim does have a father figure to go back to (That's sort of the point of a Robin) but he lost both a mother and a father before this which the series has acknowledged, and would probably much rather have them back than his current life. Plus he's trying to explain to his mother, on a day that is dedicated to mothers and their children, that he still has family, and new family members.

[jeyl]

"I'm not quite sure what point you were ultimately trying to make."

It's always gotta be the father and the son(s).

[icon_uk]

In a story about Batman and Robin(s)? What IS the world coming to.

[jeyl]

What about Cass? Didn't Bruce bring her in at some point?

[alashandra]

She's shown up once in Batman and Sons canon. She'll be back. It's just that Black Cat's storylines don't go as fast as DC canon.

Or daughters?

[seriousfic]

Virgins can't have daughters, silly!

[victory_or_death]

Buddy Christ respectfully disagrees....

[icon_uk]

In the New Teen Titans era, Dick and Donna discussed that on occasion, and they agreed that whilst Bruce was like a father to Dick, Diana and Donna always regarded themselves as sisters.

[blue_canary]

I totally read that as "Dick and Donna always regarded themselves as sisters."

[benicio127]

*nods*

That's cause that's how it is. ;-)

[icon_uk]

Nail-painting and pillowfights!!

[q99]

But you got Cassie there too.

[q99]

Yea, but different universe, and you have Cassie there too!

[sweettart1823]

I took it more as they're Amazons and Amazons are sisters? *shrugs*

[autumn_lily]

As always, Black Cat brings happiness to all. And by all I mean me. And I want her to start writing for DC now, something like Tiny Titans, because we can always use more cute.

[leikomgwtfbbq]

I would love a Wonder Woman and Sisters series. X3

[falseaesop]

Well doesn't the latest Donna Troy retcon literally make Donna and Diana sisters, like magical sister clones? Something about they grew up together and then Dark Angel kidnapped Donna thinking it was Diana or something?

And since Diana was created from clay and given life by various goddesses... most of whom are kids of Zues one way or another... and Cassie is Zues's daughter... that makes Diana Cassie's niece?

Nevermind that Donna was also a Titan of Myth for awhile, and married to Coeus whom is Zues's uncle... which would make Donna her own Great-great Aunt by marriage.

[icon_uk]

Yes, sadly I believe the current iteration is still Byrne's wretched and retch-inducing "Donna is a reflection of Diana given life by a magic mirror and a fragment of Diana's soul"

[sistermagpie]

((hugs all of these))

I love dealing with the boy's bio parents. And interesting the way Tim seems to be the character who most naturally talks about their "origin" as it were.

Basically, I love how Black Cat's stories are so believable for this unique canon but also always seem to make sense with the real canon.

Including the Wonder Sisters. They're awesome!

[sethgray]

....O_o

Okay, look at Diana's boobs. Then look at her waist. What the fuck? Why does she have like G-cups tits? Seriously?

[pyrotwilight]

Yep, tis why Wally looks so astonished. A Wonder indeed.

[sethgray]

I'd be surprised too if I saw someone with gravity defying tits. In real life those suckers were would tucked into her belt.

[icon_uk]

Welcome to comics... and Bruce Timm influenced comics at that. :)

[big_daddy_d]

I'm loving Roy in the background too. Can't help but know that he's looking at Donna and laugh.

[superfangirl1]

So cute and lovely prankster roy. :)

[jelly_ace]

I just noticed all the Robins are wearing bowties! *dies from the cute* And yeah, last year's Mother's Day was heartbreaking. *sob* Poor Timmy.

And I love that Batman gave Tim space when he visited his Mom. So many meaning to that one panel.

And see! I told you it was Tim!

And yes, Kon, I think you should definitely be afraid of Cassie there.

[icon_uk]

Kon's not in that pic, it's the four original male Titans; Robin, Speedy, Kid Flash and Aqualad.

[proteus_lives]

The cute! It burns us!

[aaron_bourque]

As always, more theblackcat is never unappreciated.

And Wonder Woman and Sisters? FUCK YES.
