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.

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.

Golden Streets of Gotham is awesome. It's an Elseworlds and asks the question of how Batman might have appeared had Bruce been the son of two poor Hungarian (iirc) immigrants at the end of the XIXth century.

No, more awesome than that.

It's pretty awesome, all right. The artwork is nice, too. The only thing that bugged me about it a bit is how Bruce/Bruno got his costume. It didn't make much sense to me.
