Sounds like they're casting on the young side though. Dan Ackroyd was my primo choice for Night Owl back in the day (definitely too old now, but at the time it seemed perfect).

move out and draw fire
Absolutely...this pretend casting is young and pretty. I'm having trouble imagining John Cusack with a paunch. He could sell the fight scenes though.
And a world of no to Mel Gibson anywhere near this movie.

OK, since I know Victor is on this thread as much as any:
I need the info on getting to the Angel finale (if it's still a go). If you did e-mail me, it didn't arrive, in which case let me know here.
And now back to your regularly scheduled Bat talk.

Anyone want to discuss The Longbow Hunters?
It holds up really well, and I was shocked at how Seattle, Plei's Teens, the art looked. It really took me back in the "whoa, they did this WELL!" way.
(Though, of course, I now have to make my brain soothed with Young Justice.)

I love that one. Great book. Nice to know it's got an authentic Seattle.

Sean, do you happen to know which issues follow that up and if they're in trades so that some of us with a strong desire to read them can find them?
I seem to recall reading that a lot of the early post-LB stuff was really good, and then the title went craptacular. I'd like to avoid the craptacular.

Oh hell. It's been a while, and when I was reading those issues, that was someone else's collection. It was very good stuff, but I don't know if there are any TPBs out there. I want to say there are, but I would likely be talking out of my ass.

There was an Alaskan oil spill issue not too long after the Exxon Valdez that was pretty good, though I don't remember the level of anvilly-ness.

Ooo!
Also, if one wanted a crash course in Wally West...
What would a gal need?
Why, yes, I'm finding myself wanting to branch out of Gotham.

Longbow Hunters is GREEN ARROW right? And, like, a decade plus ago? I think I read it, but I sensory overloaded on a bunch of stuff during my big comics phase (was this the 80's????), and then pretty much cold turkeyed. Apparently, right before Bats & co. got interesting again (i.e. post-Jason).
