Gotham City Sirens (sick of it yet?)

[kat8cha.insanejournal.com]

Okay! First post on SD (hi guys) and I'm sharing my fave pages of Gotham Sirens. Since I saw the preview art I had to run out and get it. As much as I generally don't buy single comics (so EXPENSIVE in the long run) I had to. I really, really, really enjoyed Gotham Sirens... and was at the same time very annoyed. Edit: I've had to delete some images, b/c of rules, so I just left the last two, which were really the only reason I wanted to post this comic in the first place. XD The Broker MADE this comic for me. I've always wondered where bad guys get their hideouts. I figured they just squatted. I think The Broker needs his own comic. Seriously. It would be the most awesome comic ever. 'Just a mild mixture'... mild mixture my ass, Ivy. You've been waiting this entire comic to mindwipe Selena. Also, love the lips here. Harley's pink ones vs. Catwoman's dark shades. And, does the Broker just KNOW Catwoman's name. Did I miss something here? I guess you can't just sign a check 'Catwoman'... I was actually just debating posting that last image and asking you all to chime in with your thoughts. I mean who IS batman? I'm the motherfucking batman.

Given how often they've been arrested, tried, and either convicted, had cases dismissed due to evidence being fruit of the poisonous tree, or been found incompetent to stand trial and sent to Arkham, I suspect that the real names (when known) of Batman's rogues are all matters of public record. While the public may still know them by their nicknames/codenames/etc., the real names would be fairly commonly known, much like how most people know David Berkowitz (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Berkowitz) better as the "Son of Sam," but would still recognize his real name.

I know that, in the DCAU, at least, Selina's real name is public knowledge, following her trial and conviction in season one of BTAS.

Aaaaaaaaah, I knew I missed something.

It makes sense that their names are public, it's just... hard to wrap your mind around. Then again, Gotham's a fucked up place. I guess no one blinks twice at the Apple Store when Harley Quinn signs a check for an Ipod.

Well, except for Joker...even HE isn't sure what his birth name is.

But, yeah, everyone else would be known. At least to cops, superheroes, bounty hunters, information brokers, and anyone else who regularly deals with the supervillains.

Eh, for a long time post-Crisis one of Selina's distinguishing markers is that she hadn't ever been caught. Bruce never successfully brought her in and no one else even had a chance of coming close. Even Bruce didn't clue to her secret ID for a very long time, and she faked her own death the first time it became public record.
