thanekosIt's the story she told him in issue #1070, of this run's antagonists - the family Orgham.
She had the tale from her father, a character in it.
Her telling didn't start with Ra's al Ghul - it started with ' [t]he daughter of the sands [marrying] the firstborn son of the desert wind. '
( ' Orgham ' was the daughter's side. )

thanekosIssue #1069'd ended under Gotham - the Cheshire Cat (amnesiac Lian Harper living another life) had escaped those gathering up " strays " like herself, only to run into Solomon Grundy.
Issue #1070 opened on the Cat's captors, chasing her, running into the two. They turned their weapons on Grundy, and found them ineffective.
They had two other things going for them, though - numbers, and cumulative weight.
( They threw themselves on Grundy. )

Chris Samnee's Bat-themed Inktober
Oct. 31st, 2019 06:50 pmicon_ukChris Samnee's tends to do a Bat-themed Inktober, or Batober, if you will. And 2019 has been well up to his usual high standard.

icon_ukThe Young Justice TV tie in comic was fairly unique insamuch as it works in parallel with the broadcast series. Events from the series were referenced in it and even more unusually plot points from the TV series were revealed or expanded in the comic. (This is probably because the comic was written by Greg Weisman, also the story editor for the series itself and he believes in cross marketing)
Case in point a long time Batman villain who had a new origin, and one which ties into a rather unexpected character; The Daughter of the Demon herself;
( Talia Al Ghul )

sistermagpieI had a strangely difficult time with this one--strange because you'd think there's so many options! I was going to try to keep my posts from being too Bat-heavy, but in the end I wound up sticking in one more:

( Ra's Al Ghul, Head of the I Ran Out of Storage Closets )
Food for Thought: They just released some previews for Batman Earth One: Volume Two at SDCC. Apparently Croc is in it, although no news for the Riddler.

jetblack927Couldn't resist posting this one page from this weeks "Batman and..." Guest Starring Ra's al Ghul. Batman tracks down Ra's who has stolen Damian's Corpse in order to use to Lazarus Pit to revive him. Batman stops him and is loading the body on the Batwing when Ra's following behind threatens vengeance on the Bat-Family and Gotham if he leaves with Damian, Batman turns and they duke it out...

omgwtflolbbqbyeespanolbot 's post about Martha Wayne's underrepresentation in Batman stories inspired me to post pages from Greg Rucka's and Klaus Jansen's 2003 miniseries Batman: Death and the Maidens.
Rucka's run on the regular Batman titles culminated with Batman realizing that he's still Bruce Wayne at his core, and that he should be nicer to his family for the x time.
When Rucka came back to write "Death and the Maidens" he simultaneously reinforced his previous points while attempting to plug one of Bruce's other persistent wells of angst and drama: the perpetual mourning over his parent's death.
And in doing so, he gave Martha one her most extensive roles in a Batman story that I can think of.
