Babs and Alfred: Tea and Sympathy. And Crime-Solving

[mysteryfan.insanejournal.com]

Reading Gotham Knights #12 and came across this nice moment between Alfred and Babs. I really liked this story. There's kind of--quite a bit of her processing her shooting, and I think it's well done here.

(From Gotham Knights #12 by Jen Van Meter, Coy Turnbull and John Lowe. 2001.)

Context: Babs is having a hard time, trying to solve a case involving wheelchair victims. She's tried all of her usual coping mechanisms: exercise, work, etc. and nothing's helped. So she makes a fairly complicated trip...





I love that Alfred found her a BW handkerchief.




Check out the photos changing...

She figures out the guy's motive, so she sets him up to go after her. She sues her father and Bruce Wayne. For her shooting.



It works and the guy comes after her.


She solves the case and takes down the criminal.

I really liked it, but I wasn't really a BL fan prior. I know there were some changes to the original story that irritated the diehard fans.

Well, there you go then. It was mostly the creative team that had me interested since I don't know nearly enough about BL to be a fan (i think i read an X-mas story once that was pretty cool?), so this might be an alright introduction for me.
