Date: 2011-12-22 05:19 am (UTC)But yeah, BG #3 kind of killed my hope for Dick/Babs even tho, I'm sure there's some people that liked it... It just read like there was no chemistry... I think I'd feel better about this book if the Raya/Dick/Babs triangle wasn't there at all. Because in my head, Dick would choose one. He's always read as a one lady kind of guy despite that horrible annual to me...

Date: 2011-12-22 02:40 pm (UTC)And yeah, we can still call Babs Babs, unless DC decides that sounds too much like baps one day and changes it for fear of her being associated with A - bread products or B - slang for boobs.

Date: 2011-12-23 01:21 pm (UTC)If she'd just said it was meant to fit the tone of the scene, with Babs responding somewhat angrily, then it would've fit. But since Simone is more in touch with the fanbase than some, and knows all about the current trend of blaming editorial for everything, it just felt like she was covering her ass.
