Oh, Babs. People in books don't talk like normal people either. Then again, I'm not sure how liable to use the word 'ghastly' Barbara would be.

That last scan is so awesome. It's lovely that as locked outside the inner circle as these two were, such thoughtful interaction could be written between them. It makes me wish Cass and Dick had got more interaction as well, I think Dick would've understood this very well.

She wants Cass to read comic books, so she'll at least speak like a proper comic book character! ;)

What it makes ME wish is that Jean-Paul was still around, instead of handing over the reigns to some random religious fanatic guy.

I confess, all I've read with Azrael I got from bits of NML and Gotham Knights. ):

Well, most of my knowledge of him has been gained through cultural osmosis, the 'Knightfall' storyline, and bits and pieces here and there. I do know, however, that Jean-Paul is 'dead' (quotes because this is comics, after all), and has been replaced in the role by some religious fanatic guy who wants to do penance or something. This sucks, because A: Jean-Paul is an interesting character with a fair-sized following in his own right, and B: one of the things that made him/makes him interesting is that he himself is not particularly religious, at least as far as I can tell. You won't catch him screaming about God's wrath or whatever - he's a regular guy without any particular religious views who learned midway through what he thought was going to be a regular life that he was the son of and successor to a deadly angel-of-death-themed assassin in a long line of assassins who served an obscure religious order. There's a concept with some depth to it - replacing it with the standard 'I must purge with holy fire' stuff is just paying lip service to a cliche.
