Date: 2011-09-07 10:05 pm (UTC)And no, cop lady, a vigilante failing to take down an armed madman after he just pointed a gun at her is not "murder." I have an idea; how about you, the trained police officer, take him down with yourgun? Why didn't you like, shoot him in the leg or something? Oh, you were busy bleeding, were you? Well, Babs was busy being traumatised. So STFU.

Aaron "The Mad Whitaker" Bourque; this should be fun.

Date: 2011-09-07 10:40 pm (UTC)It's too bad nobody felt like writing a good, enjoyable comic like that.

Date: 2011-09-07 10:41 pm (UTC)I loved it. I knew I'd like it but I was pretty impressed by the whole thing. I thought it was a good mix of respect for what has come before and world building her future. I did get a pang when Babs mentioned how nice it would be to have a friend to drink tea with. (And that pang was named Dinah. *sigh*)
The ending with the crazy detective threw me off a little until I started wondering about the villain. I'm sure his gimmick goes far beyond, "I've got a makeup mirror on my chest." Considering how enthusiastic and over the top the first couple Babs was after their rescue, maybe the detective's response was meant to be the dark reflection of it? Maybe he was influencing her somehow?
...or maybe she's just ungrateful in the grand tradition of Spiderman and his "you didnt bleed nearly enough saving us" New Yorkers.

Date: 2011-09-08 12:47 am (UTC)This is exactly how I feel about this switch. I am hoping when we get more details in the coming month it is a little more justifiable, but I am not holding my breath.

Date: 2011-09-07 11:49 pm (UTC)But, I can't deny that it was good to see Barbara swinging about, and kicking butt again. As I always loathed DC's use of her in the Killing Joke. (Even though, I like the rest of that story..) I've never understood why they did that. They could have just as easily had it be a wife/girlfriend of Gordons, if they were looking for the cheap tradgedy there. And thus not deprived themselves of one of their premier superheroines. I mean's IIRC it's not as if they even mention in the killing joke that she's batgirl. Thus many of the folk who've read it over the years, probably don't even realise that..
Ah but I digress. This was a nice start. And I'm looking forward to seeing where this series goes. (But damn I will always miss Stephanie as Batgirl. Think I was actually crushing on her a little bit! LOL)
Re: Oh I'm soo torn..
Date: 2011-09-08 06:49 am (UTC)I mean, the treatment of Babs aside, how does Batman put that ending in any context other than him being treated like a nutjob by everyone when he's found laughing it up with Joker at the end? It just doesn't work. DC chained themselves to the rock that was Oracle, effectively, if they hadn't, we'd probably have had Babs as Batgirl through the 90's.
Yeah..
