Damn you DC!
Nov. 25th, 2004 11:23 pmYou keep giving me little tidbits to make me hang on another week....*flicks paperwads across the pond to New York*
This week I picked up Batgirl and Batman - and I was impressed with both!
I was unsure about the Robin/Batgirl crossover, but seeing the events of the Robin issue from Batgirl's eyes made it read easier. And it was a very good story - nice to see them working together.
I'd heard some mutterings from other fans on the DC board that there's a lot of unbalanced writing when it comes to these characters, depending on which title they appear in, due to the fact that Robin is more skilled at detective work, and Batgirl is the better fighter. But what I saw was the two of them working together, and doing it well. If that's how it's gonna be for the foreseeable future, then yay! I'm just dreading the conclusion, where they're apparently gonna be at odds with each other.
The issue of Batman was basically musings about War Games, between Bruce, Dick and Alfred, and the characterisation was good, I thought!
I also picked up the last two issues of The Flash, and the new JSA as they're Identity Crisis tie-ins. Plus I caved in and picked up Batgirl Year One - excellent read!
I also officially love my comic guy! As some of you know, I've been trying to find out information about the Knight and Squire - apparently the UK's answer to Batman and Robin. Rachel did some net searching for me on sunday, and found that they're in JLA Classified #1, so I've been trying to find a copy. Everywhere's sold out, including my friend, but he has loaned me his own personal copy!
What a sweetie!
