When Billy and Courtney Met the Shade

[espanolbot.insanejournal.com]

It's during the Princes of Darkness, and Billy and Courtney have been trapped in the Shadowlands by Obsidian. Billy's powers have been blocked, and as a result Stargirl has learned that he's really a teenage in reality.

After battling Obsidian's mother, who along with Obsidian's adopted father and Sentinel, his biological father, have all been trapped here, the pair begin to bond.

Billy x Courtney was my favorite ship ever.

Also Shade smiling at her is great. XD

[mullon.insanejournal.com]

Shade smiling needs to be made into an icon...by someone else.

[hearthemvoices.insanejournal.com]

Yes, Billy & Courtney OTP! Although I used to get this vibe that Geoff shipped Jakeem/Courtney.

Speaking of which, what is the current status of the Billy/Courtney pairing?

[volksjager.insanejournal.com]

Wildcat, Green Lantern/Alan Scott,Flash/Jay Garreck put the kibosh on it .

[hearthemvoices.insanejournal.com]

That I remember, but in recent issues did it get rekindled or something?

[pyrotwilight.insanejournal.com]

And made it rather clear they disliked it. Of course which makes no sense.

Billy's age wasn't public to them so they though Captain Marvel was a 30 or whatever year old hitting on Courtney. And now when they found out and said it the same way it made them seem like they disliked the idea of the public thinking the two were a couple.

In short the JSA leaders are dicks.

[pyrotwilight.insanejournal.com]

They almost kissed but then crazykinkyMary ruinned the moment. And then made Billy into Evil Knievil.

[hearthemvoices.insanejournal.com]

Ah... thanks for sharing. (:

That makes me really sad though. ): Mary is STILL EVIL?

[pyrotwilight.insanejournal.com]

Nah though Billy and Mary are now depowered. And Isis and Black Adam are statues (I wish I was kidding).

Oh and now the Wizard/Shazam is back but crazy.

[lieut_kettch.insanejournal.com]

Like Courtney/Al is any better. The old geezers are playing favorites because of Atom Smasher being Al Pratt's godson.

[hearthemvoices.insanejournal.com]

Okay sorry if I'm driving you nuts with the questions.

... Shazam is back? And crazy meaning he wants to kill Billy and Mary?

They've made it clear they don't like Al doing it, too...he told Court nothing could come of them in #28 of the current series, at their insistence.

[kamino_neko.insanejournal.com]

No...Crazy meaning he petrified Adam and Isis, and...depowered the Marvels. (Except Freddy, whose powers come from somewhere else, now.)

[kamino_neko.insanejournal.com]

And, honestly, Al and Courtney is rather different than it looked like Courtney and Billy were - he's only in his 20s, and by the time it was serious, she was 18 or 19.

Whereas Cap looks like he's in his 30s, and Courtney was only 16/17 at the time.

Al's not doing anything he could go to jail for. Neither was Billy, of course, but it LOOKED like he was.

Why does Courtney go for meatheads?

Also gankable.

Plus the only reason why they thought something inappropriate was going on was because Jakeem Thunder ratted them out because he was jealous.

[espanolbot.insanejournal.com]

Because every other girl is interested in Tim. Except Cass Cain, who's into terrorists (Black Wind), kinda dumb superclones (Conner) and people who stalk her (Zero).

Oh, and Sal. Who Beechen felt would be a good match for Cass by making a male duplicate of her minus the winning personality. Seriously, beginning a conversation with "My dad was beaten to death in front of me when I was seven and I went mute for several years" isn't exactly an icebreaker.

[jarodrussell.insanejournal.com]

Courtney and Cass need to hook up with Hiro Okamura.

[jarodrussell.insanejournal.com]

Courtney turned 17 on her last birthday (http://comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=23043), according to the JSA All-Stars writers. Given that the Billy/Courtney stuff happened before OYL, she would have been, at most, 15 at the time.

[espanolbot.insanejournal.com]

*scratches head* But they both say they're 16 in the above comic.

[naebler.insanejournal.com]

keep in mind he is a bit pissed at that though. Freddy taking his name and powers from others...

[kamino_neko.insanejournal.com]

Making Courtney 17 disagrees with previous canon - as noted below, she's explicitly stated as 16 at the time she was involved with Billy (and I'd have to dig out my copies of Stars and STRIPE to check, but ISTR that she was noted as 16 there, too), she was already looking into colleges as of Infinite Crisis, making her 17 or extra-studious and about to turn 17, before the jump ahead.

Making JSofA 26 (which showed her last birthday) her 18th or 19th birthday. 20th would also be valid, given the vagaries of the post-gap timeline, if she weren't shown getting off a schoolbus at the beginning of the issue.

DC has no idea how old it's characters ages are IMO. One of the problems with OYL was that it made DC have to age some characters and yet at the same when something like "Up, Up and Away" (the Superman OYL story) came out Kurt Busiek said the Superman-team considered Lois and Clark still in the EARLY 30s (despite Pete Ross serving as President) and Grant Morrison insists that Bruce Wayne is still only 35. So Courtney was allowed to age, and Wonder Girl and Billy and Tim but the icons weren't. Screwy.
