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

I've grabbed a buttload of Bat-related graphics to use as wallpapers, and I have had to go through and uncheck one Batgirl (Babs) and two Catwomans because they're a bit too suggestive. I'm also unchecking ones with guns, for lack of office appropriateness, but I am chastened at the chick thing. There's even a Cass!Batgirl I'm considering unchecking. Cass! Cass! That ain't right. Meanwhile, Batman looks all heroic or pained but never provocative.

::sigh::

Don't you have that fan art of him subbing to Supes?

I disagree with that fan art! But if you need the link I'm sure I can track it down. And, no, it wasn't just one. Apparently that's his deal. Whatever.

I do have to say the grab pack of wallpapers is pretty damned excellent, though. I keep minimising screens just so Bats can glare at me.

It's amazing how many defenses of the new Starfire start with something like "I haven't read the comic, but..."

Oh, okay.

Art Crawl!!!

I haven't read the comic but, I think that the pictures I've seen of it are enough to put me way off it. (Is it that comic that had people trying to mimic Starfire's pose - to hilarious effect?)

I haven't seen that, just people copying MJ in a Spider-man panel.

Ah - that's what I was thinking. (I believe that the poses were remarkable similar.)

This is the MJ pose. I haven't seen a Starfire one like that yet.

The Starfire one is where she is half crouched next to the guy in the beach chair. (I can't recall who the guy is supposed to be.)
