The Birds of Prey Song (by Gail) and Selina Punching Someone

[espanolbot]

A song by Gail Simone from the most recent Batman: the Brave and the Bold episode, in which Batman gets amnesia, grows a moustache and becomes a caped gangster that takes over Gotham. Now Catwoman, Black Canary and Huntress are out to rescue/cure him.

For legality, here's Selina punching Poison Ivy in the face, from 'Hush',

I've seen this floating around. Does anyone have any spoilers in the rest of the episode? Also, when does it air in the US?

[swatkat]

As in, would you like to know the whole story?

[chipsnopotatoes]

How did Catwoman become part of this team?

[swatkat]

Catwoman was about to steal the Two-sided Cloak of Nefertiti, given to her by Bast, when the Bat swooped in. Shortly afterward, Canary and Huntress joined in, because they had word that Two-Face was after the cloak. Ultimately, Two-Face got away with the cloak, and Catwoman offered to assist our heroes to recover the cloak.

If the US is following the episode order as listed on Wikipedia it'll probably air in 3 weeks (October 15); the most recent episode was Part 2 of "The Siege of Starro!" (poor B'wana Beast! Poor Vixen! ;_;)

I have an odd feeling that guy sitting at the table is Bats in disguise.

[silverzeo]

What gave it away? The scowl? The fact he is wearing a flying fox... whatver?

[big_daddy_d]

Nope. It was his face. Kinda a lazy disguise as it was clearly Bruce with a different hairstyle with a mustache pasted to his face. Plus it was especially when the Birds start singing about Bats in their chorus how they just zeroed in on him. It was a giveaway. Plus yes that familiar scowl.

I don't know what you're talking about. That's clearly Matches Malone.

[silverzeo]

He used it at th estart of Super-Bat episode.

This is a kid's show right? I mean, I am not complaining, but... why to sneak past the censors. Wish Family Guy can pull a song with the female cast like this...

[gargoylekitty]

Song's been posted here and noscans_daily already. ;p

Jim Lee: He cannot draw women properly.

:points to Ivy's back in the first panel:

KRYPTO SO KYOOT CAN'T STAND

[retro_nouveau]

I KNOW! Selina is the only one who doesn't agree.

[chipsnopotatoes]

I must admit I squealed when I saw the little bugger on this panel. I'd just been getting back to comics after many many years and Hush was one of the first books I picked up :)

Well, Ivy`s having one bad day. First, a flying dog greets her at the door step. Then a person dressed as a cat punches her in the face.

Ivy forgot the golden rule, "Never commit crimes near children or animals",

[auggie18]

Didn't Ivy have a thing about not hurting kids for a while? Back when she adopted all of those orphans during No Man's Land? I liked that interpretation of Ivy.

[icon_uk]

I dunno, she'd never given much of a damn about humanity before, since she didn't view herself as human. And the implication (Nevcer stated I admit, but implied) that the maternal instinct HAS to take priority over everything else because she's a woman never quite rang true to me.

[auggie18]

I always saw it as more of a need to help those who can't help themselves. Obviously plants come first, but if the victim was someone innocent (ie Harley), she'd give a crap.


There was also that Ivy mini where she's living on this island she's made into a tropical paradise. This girl comes over to the island on a dare and she's really terrified, having heard of Ivy's reputation. Ivy lets her know that it's okay for her to be there, as long as she doesn't touch anything or hurt any plants. Then a giant company blows up the island and Ivy goes back to Gotham to kill them, but hey.

I don't know. Ivy's my favorite Bat-villain, so I may just be making excuses.

Sorry mate, I already posted this last Sunday.

Also, Gail did not write the song, the wrote the episode around it though.

"A song by Gail Simone from the most recent Batman: the Brave and the Bold episode"

Gail didn't write it, but I'm pretty sure it was the same guys who did the Music Meister episode.

Also, I LOVE that moment in Hush, what with the cute Krypto and Bruce/Selina agreeing a punch to the face was necessary. :D

[shadowpsykie]

iuf she didnt write it she had LOTS of input... because all that stuff, too fast, little fish, shooting straight? SPecial cave? total gail :)

[silicondream]

I like how Ivy's reaction to seeing Krypto is just to stride purposefully in the other direction, looking vaguely irritated.

"Dammit, front door's blocked by a flying dog, now I have to go out the back door and AAAALLLLL the way around the house instead. Stupid flying dog."
