Micole, I think your analysis is spot-on.
One thing I may have missed in my hasty reading of back issues: Why did Tarantula become a vigilante?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Art Crawl!!!
I don't know -- because she trained to be an FBI agent and then wound up in social work. Meanwhile her brother becomes a D.A. -- it's like there was this v. strong thread of doing service to the community but I don't remember any sort of backstory as to why they followed those paths.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
IIRC, it wasn't any big traumatic event so much as a general growing up in a shitty neighborhood and wanting to make things better path.

Why the hell does Tarantula suddenly remind me of Dizzy from 100 Bullets? That's weird.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
More unrecognizable than in the scenes that weren't deleted?
In the deleted scenes it's obvious she's trying for some kind of accent, it's just unclear what. In the rest of the movie she just sounds a little odd. At least to me.

Question - is Identity Crisis a stand-alone series, is it a part of the (an?) ongoing continuity, or is it the setup of one?

Frank, this week's Identity Crisis was the first issue of a standalone miniseries -- IIRC it'll go to either 7 or 8 issues altogether. As far as I know it is in continuity with other DC titles.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Yep, it's in continuity with other titles, but--while it will directly effect many titles--it's not crossing over much. The exception, evidently, is with the Flash.

Well, duh. Who else could zip back and forth between two titles?

Shades of when Wally was in both the JLA and the Titans at the same time...
