Batgirl Week: The $1200 debut of Batgirl!
Aug. 25th, 2015 09:08 pmlego_jokerOh, there was a girl from Gotham...
That walked the hero's road,
For the sake of her old father...
It's to her I sing this ode.
With ra-zor sharp intellect...
She struck down every foe.
Joy and inspiration,
It's these to her we owe...
Gray and blue...
Gray and blue...
The girl from Gotham wore the gray and blue...
( So of course, this comic is best known for introducing a sociopathic criminal. C'est la vie. )
By the way, I'll be going through a lot of Babsgirl stuff this week, so if there's anything you want me to keep my grubby little hands off of, speak up now. Thank you.

pyrotwilightFor the entirety of the crossover the Parasites attacks were very US based (as the aliens ship crashed near Metropolis), the only attacks that occurred outside of the US was this annual in which some of the Parasites come to England. (Though the latest New Blood related story seems to imply despite what we see of the Parasites attack patterns they likely did go global but that's a post for another day)
18 pages from a 54 page story.
( The Blood comes to England and Lionheart will defend his country! )

thehefnerI was introduced to this story way back in scans_daily 1.0, whereupon it was instantly beloved by all. Upon tracking down the issues myself, this three-part finale from The Batman Adventures became one of my top ten favorite Batman stories ever, from any continuity.
I'm posting it here as the next part of my Hugo Strange series, as it was his only appearance in the ten years after Prey, and it's *also* tied to New Year's Eve. In keeping with Batman: The Animated Series' treatment of villains, Hugo is given unprecedented character depth, sympathy, and a tragedy which matches (perhaps even rivals) the stories of Harvey Dent and Mr. Freeze.
But let's not kid ourselves. I know the main reason why you folks love this story. It's a testament to the greatness of these comics that Hugo's sad story could run in the same issues as moments like this:
( In Memoriam, behind the cut )
It's because of stories like this that I honestly consider the TAS comics--all four series--to be the greatest Batman comics of the past twenty-five years. Maybe if these comics ever actually had crossovers into the DCU or "mattered" in some way continuity-wise, more people would have cared.
As it is, I'm just glad I recently managed to complete my entire collection of The Batman Adventures, Batman & Robin Adventures, Batman: Gotham Adventures, and Batman Adventures, until DC finally wises up and reprints the whole series.
Happy New Year, folks! Drive safely, drink sensibly, and try not to get your memory wiped!

It came from the 50 cent bin: He's so fly!

icon_ukOkay, I was wrong THIS will be my last post for One Perfect Moment week.
Following on from recent discussions about the Riddler and how hard he is to write well, a rather appropriate couple of pages from Batman Adventures #10, as an inmate is released from Gotham State Penitentiary...
( We should all have henchmen then loyal... )

icon_ukAs with many things, the BTAS comics did much more interesting things with the Batgirl/Robin dynamic than the main DCU had done in years...

icon_uk.insanejournal.comI'd hoped to make this a longer post, but alas, I just can't tell the story decently with the 1/3 page limit, so instead I'm focussing on some Batgirl and Robin fun
