Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Way cool, Plei!

Question: I haven't been reading comics for the past few months. What's Batgirl up to? Still ruined?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

ita, the latest issue of Teen Titans gives the impression that Deathstroke has been pumping her full of his wacky serum thingie, and that that's what made her go all bad. Or, at least, it's implied that that's the reason for her going bad.

Dude, copout.

Maybe. It could still play out in a manner pleasing to me.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Dude, copout.

I hate that! It's Willow's magic addiction all over. Let characters choose to be bad and make mistakes, otherwise you're gutting the narrative.

If you can do so in character. It'd have taken a miracle to non-copout explain her particular insanity. Serum? Fine. Just take her off it and stop fucking with a pretty cool character.

Art Crawl!!!

Interview with Joss, Brian K. Vaughn and Jeph Loeb over at Wizard.

ETA: okay the picture doesn't work. Click on it in the article. It's fun.

More spoilery Joss interview at IGN. (And more pictures too.)

Sumi, your picture link has a javascript call in it, so it doesn't work from here.

I like the snippets of art in the IGN article. I've seen the full one of Willow somewhere before, and it's gorgeous. I wish I'd saved it somewhere. But almost all of it (i.e. not the most manga-ey one) did a good job of capturing the actors, and in varying styles.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
