Interesting to have it focus almost more on Gordon than on Batman himself.

I thought the same thing when I read it.

There's a similar Gordon-heavy vibe in No Man's Land, IMO.

It made sense to me, because if you're going to show the transition of the untrained vigilante to the Bat, you need to show how and why he became accepted by the PTB at the Gotham police. And that part is all about Gordon.

I thought the same thing when I read it.

And it was totally confusing because the first "voiceovers" are his. I had to go back and re-read when I realized there were two different visual styles for the two characters, which I thought was a pretty awesome idea. But you always expect the initial narration to come from the title character, you know?

Ooh. And while it's been over a year, I don't recall Dark Knight Returns to be like that. It was incredibly Bat-centric, and most of the Gordon scenes were media-type things; he didn't have a real storyline like he had in this one.

Also, who fathered her kid?

Unknown I believe. Well, unknown to us at least. An unknown boyfriend before she and Robin became an item

Is the kid in stories?

Given up for adoption. No mention of him/her since.

Who does she live with now?

Her mother, though she did move out of the house for a brief period of time recently after learning of her father's death.

Cluemaster's current status is dead, killed in the first issue of the latest incarnation of the Sucuide Squad. It was reunion episode of the old JL Antartica crowd.

That was about 2-3 years ago real-time, but there are now some hints that he is around in Flash, I believe.

Since it's that time of the week....

I just want to mention that I really like the opening credits to Justice League.

That is all.

The time I've spent on Usenet guarantees that I cannot see "Suicide Squad" without thinking of "Suicide Squid" from rec.arts.comics

Also, has Huntress had any canonical relationships that weren't one-night stands? (Other than her upcoming date with Josh the parking attendant.)

Teppy! Me too.

True. I've seen those about, and some of those stories were pretty good, actually.

My brother had both sets of comics (e.g. Crisis Earth 1 and Crisis Earth 2), which were quite good. They actually had a pretty good handle on the whole multi-verse concept back in the day. I'm not sure when it became problematical enough to require a total reset.

Interesting Salon article on the recent ends of Bone and Cerebus. (Requires the day pass ad thing.)

I'm going to buy the 1984/85 Kitty/Wolvie mini on ebay sometime.

The only thing I know about it is this, which leads me to hope that you didn't spend too much on it.
