Did she go to school with you two?
Yeah, she was a couple of years ahead of us, and did a very good, not to mention dykey, comic strip for the school paper.
And now my boy's in love. All hearts and flowers. But, doesn't it freak you out that she used to change your diapers? I mean, when you think about it, the first woman you boned is the closest thing you've ever had to a mother. Doing your mom and trying to kill your dad. Hm. There should be a play.

1. Joker Last Laugh. It didn't stick. Someone was there to revive Joker.
That someone was Batman himself, ironcially enough.
I'm thinking about reading JLA: Elite, but that may just be because I've seen it advertised so much.
I'll pick it up, because Green Arrow is in it. I'm not holding out great hopes that Kelly will write him well, though, since he didn't do too well in the "Obsidian Age" arc.

I'd say cut out the middle step and just hit yourself in the head with a hammer instead. It's HAHRRIBLE!

Well, the issue they were featured in JLA was horrible. The actual series hasn't started yet, so we can't judge..
No, it will be horrible.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?

You know I was thinking about Batman: Beyond the other day while mowing the lawn. It was mentioned here that it had divorced itself from canon by having Barbara Gordon as a non-disabled-by-Joker police comissioner. I was thinking that that doesn't have to be the case because 1) I don't recall seeing anyone confined to a wheelchair or similar device on the show. 2) During a visit to the Batcave, Babs looks at her old costume and remarks to Bruce "I see you sewed up the bullet holes." 3) There is a Kraven-style "villain" who had his spine cybernetically replaced after it was severed by a panther. It's possible that Barbara Gordon was shot by the Joker and then surgically healed at some point during the 30 or so years between the canon timeline and BB.
I realize this really doesn't amount to anything. I just thought it was interesting.

In fact, at the time she was shot, she'd essentially hung up her costume and retired. The joke of it was that Joker didn't know who he was shooting, other than Gordon's daughter.
Crap. Anyone want to talk about the latest issue of Batman? I need to stop spamming Mary's comments in her LJ, and I'm just burning to discuss Bruce's fears and projection of them onto a hallucination Jason.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
PMM, Bruce has a hallucination? That doesn't sound like a good grasp on reality.
