Batman #5

If a song is to be written about this issue of Batman, I would call it 'Batman's Going Slightly Mad.'

Added this for all the cameos

I think even if you take away the Lola stuff there's still some depth there--her relationship with Batman alone shows that, not to mention her temper and her head having conflict with her impulse when it comes to her life of crime. This, in my opinion, is the most interesting, conflicted, strongest take on Selina since Brubaker, and while they're approached very differently, I think they're about equal in terms of depth.

	I think you and I have a very different understanding of the word 'depth' if you seriously equate Winick's shallow handling of the character to the far more qualitative writing of Ed Brubaker. So I'll just leave it at that. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Hide 2 comments) (Show 2 comments)

	And I'll say that just because shallowness is part of a character's trait doesn't mean that the handling of said character is shallow. Shake? (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Hide 1 comment) (Show 1 comment)

	(1) Do not mistake Winick's own shallow understanding of the character and what she is about as the character having 'shallow traits,' and (2) you're now arguing in circles. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)
