Batman June solicits of interest

Batman June solicits are up at The Source!

A familiar um, face joins the BoP. Steph joins up with another female sidekick. And a few of the Batboys have to work together.

BIRDS OF PREY #13
Written by GAIL SIMONE
Art and cover by JESUS SAIZ
Things get ugly as The Birds of Prey are trapped in a cunning puzzle box of a skyscraper, pursued by a nightmarish killer who holds all the cards, leaving only the Huntress, the reluctant aide of Renee Montoya, and The Question to free them! And what effect does the death of Oracle have on the team as they race to escape from hell?

The art in BoP has really let me down. The art in the last book was atrocious. I'm hoping that Jesus Saiz becomes the regular artist.

BATGIRL #22
Written by BRYAN Q. MILLER
Art by PERE PEREZ
Cover by DUSTIN NGUYEN
When Stephanie Brown arrives in London for a top-secret Batman Incorporated assignment, jet lag, lost luggage and those terribly difficult accents are the least of Batgirl’s problems – the actual Greenwich Mean has been stolen, and as all of London literally grinds to a halt, it’s up to Batgirl and Squire to save the United Kingdom! Tally-ho!

SQUEEE! I've been excited about Steph going to this London finishing school and the fact that she's teaming up with Beryl is AWESOME!!

BATMAN AND ROBIN #24
Written by JUDD WINICK
Art and cover by GUILLEM MARCH
The Red Hood is out! But the bigger mystery is who broke him out of prison – and why? His liberators seem to have plans for him. Plans that Jason wants no part of. It’s a street brawl, and unlikely allies come together! Batman, Robin and The Red Hood must fight alongside one another in a knockdown, drag-out battle, taking on the people who sprung Jason Todd.

	As an English person from the North, I beg to differ. Cockney accents and the like are probably as difficult for my as my Stokie accent would be for a Londoner. God help Steph. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Hide 5 comments) (Show 5 comments)

Maybe it's because I'm a midlander that they both sound easily understandable to me!

My sister's ex had a great Stoke accent (and was a great guy all round), but my American stepmother confided in me that she couldn't understand a single word he said. Last I heard he was teaching English to Dutch students... I'm still curious as to what kind of effect THAT would produce.

	I think it is sometimes down to individual people, really, and how strong their accent is. Mine's pretty diluted because I've watched TV all my life and that's influenced my accent, but my girlfriend has a hilarious Australian/Londoner/Stokie mix because of how her parents moved around.

	Judging from how I and my fellow Dutch students behaved in bilingual school... we'd try to copy his accent because back then we thought any Britisch accent was the coolest thing ever. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	I've seen BBCAmerica shows that use subtitles, so apparently some Americans do need help understanding English. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Hide 1 comment) (Show 1 comment)

It all depends. I download British programs all the time, which means I have to make do without subtitles (and I actually use subtitles when watching most programs on TV due to loud background music/sound effects and actor mumbling). Most of the time I understand British accents just fine, but sometimes I'll have no idea what a character just said. (And don't get me started on a character like Phil Mitchell- I rarely know what he's saying even when he's sober.)

But a lot of times my confusion was regarding unfamiliar colloquialisms or slang, not simply accents.
