I'd think with acrobats who are catching each other by the forearms while somersaulting through the air, making one's body slicker and harder to grip would be somewhat counterproductive.
This is why they use talc or whatever it is on their hands.
It's not like she blew me off. She just left with another guy, that's all.

Chalk. Gymnasts, at least.

This just in: free comics day PLUS 50% off backstock PLUS 20% off trades PLUS an additional discount on your box for the month of July?
Equals Extreme Danger.
I'm in love with the Adventures of Barry Ween Boy Genius now as a result of Free Comics Day.
I'll probably continue to pick up the Ballad of Sleeping Beauty (though I find the writing in #1 to be uneven, the fact that the second half was actually pretty good will have me picking up #2).
Oh, and I'm now down to about 15-20 issues of Impulse between me and the complete run. And have two more Starman trades.

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

My pusher loves that title.
Underworld didn't actually order any free comics, unfortunately, but they offered ye olde Bats' 10-cent adventure, which kicked off Bruce Wayne: Murderer? I liked how the "vintage Bruce Wayne move" for dumping Vesper was taken, if I recall correctly, right out of Batman: Year One.
So, I assume Sasha is a Batgirl? How many are there? Babs was the first, and the recent one is Cassandra, right? And how did Jason Todd die?
Hey, ita, I was poking through old Daredevil trades, and I realized that you, so fascinated by Batman's "psychosis," would really love how fucked up Matt Murdock is. Bendis' run begins with the fourth trade, Underboss. I think you'll find Matt and Bruce have similar issues with regards to being masked vigilantes. The most recent issue (no pun intended) begins a new storyline which reinvigorated my love for the title, so it might hook you enough to want to go back and read the earlier trades.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've not gotten regularly addicted to Daredevil, P-C, but I do appreciate the character a great deal. I explore it periodically in trades. Maybe I'll give the current series a shot.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

There have only been two Batgirls--Barbara Gordon and Cassandra. Sasha was Bruce Wayne's body guard, of sorts, but I don't know the whole story.
The Joker beat Jason Todd to death with a crowbar because the fans told him to.

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.

This actually sounds like a perfectly logical motivation in Joker-ville.

I have a plan.

By something like 72 votes after it was all tallied up. Just celebrated free comic book day by going out and buying comics... hmmm. Anyway, I picked up Switched, a Joker-centric TBP that just nearly drove me crazy with love. Anybody else read it?

I look more rad than Lutheranism
There were actually 3 Batgirls -- after Babs and before Cassandra, during No Man's Land Huntress was Batgirl for a while.
