So, that's 4? (Because BoP mentions another -- unless that is off in the waaay past?)
Wash: I didn't think you were one for rituals and such. Mal: I'm not, but it'll keep the others busy for a while. No reason to concern them with what's to be done.

Sumi, technically, that hasn't actually happened yet, but BoP is ahead of the book where it does in terms of chronology.

I keep thinking Beatty's written something I liked, too. But that wasn't it.
He was the regular writer on Batman:Gotham Knights before A.J. Lieberman took over, so that may be what you've been exposed to. He had a pretty good Huntress arc in his run there.

Heh. I just realized it's because he's the co-writer on my best beloved TPB, Batgirl: Year One that I know him.

Hey, did they re-do how Babs got into the Bat game? I've seen her origin story from back in the 60s, and it was kinda weak.

Yeah, they did, and it's really very good. Go! Buy!

What she said!
It's wonderful. I adore every single one of its pretty little pages.
I re-read it once a month, at least.
Love love love.

So is that what Year One is for her? Bacause Batman Year One isn't really Bats' origin story (more of an early days), although it certainly touches on it.

Batman: Year One has him deciding to put on the suit and cape; the earlier stuff, the training and the death of his parents, is referred to. So I think of it as a origin of the hero story still. And Batgirl: Year One is about how Babs becomes a hero as well, though there's not a lot of her backstory before she first puts on the suit.
If there is a problem with it, and it's arguable that it isn't a problem at all, is that it's a little too aware of what Babs's future is -- I could've used maybe one or two fewer references to oracles, you know?
But it's a delightful, well-written, fun book, and total catnip for the Dick/Babs shipper to boot.
