Mal: Well, look at this! Appears we got here just in the nick of time. What does that make us? Zoe: Big damn heroes, sir.

(I do hear that Brubaker is going to end his run around #50, so who knows what will happen after that?)
We can dream of Rucka taking it?
We're at what now? 30? 31? There's a good chunk of time left, I suppose.
We'll see. I like Selina much more in this version of her own title than I ever have in any of the other books.

Action Comics has the higher numbering, but it went weekly for a while a decade or so back. I think Detective is actually the longest-running comic book chronologically, although the company that became DC may have been publishing New Fun Comics earlier than its debut.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've never managed to get into Selina Kyle. Catwoman's seemed kinda forced (how grey can Batman get?) to me except in a couple Elseworlds incarnations -- the one where she was a madam, and a Chaykin one, IIRC. To compensate, all her other Elseworlds appearances were even less tolerable than I normally find her.
As for Bats and the muddy lines, I prefer Talia.

Have you read Nine Lives?
I'm not sure how I feel about Talia. I keep trying and failing to make my mind up about that one.

That's the one where she's a madam, right? Or at least banging everyone in Gotham? Yeah -- that's the one I like the most.
My absolute most hated was the one where Batman is a vampire and she's a werecat. Dear lord.

Art Crawl!!!
She's a werecat? Bwahahahaha!
Is Batman the sort of vampire that turns into a bat?
Also v. funny.
We must make sure that nobody who works at a movie studio gets their hands on that story.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I'm not sure how I feel about Talia.
I don't, pretty much. R'as is hella cool, but Talia has always seemed like a perfectly stock sultry ambiguous femme fatale type -- in other words, like I'm supposed to find her utterly fascinating, but she's really not much of a character to me.

Bingo. That's kind of where I'm at. She almost had a personality in Death and the Maidens.
ita, yeah, she's a madame. Also, dead for the whole thing.
