Matt, I think that was by far the most tenous proposition in a pretty slick setup. But it makes me wonder...when is the Flash ever surprised? Can he stop anywhere near as fast as he can start?

Steph, I agree with the big target sign you propose, although I hadn't considered the timing. I figure that Steph (other one, you know) and Dad will buy it, so Spoiler can bite it in War Games, and Mr. Drake is much better suited for an IC death. After all, we have obstacles to remove.

And neuroses to foster.

Right with you Matt, on both comments, but especially the second. As for what he did to GL, I'd like to see him try that crap on Hal Jordan.

It looks like very much of the Batfamily is going to be completely nuts by the end of "War Games"/IC. Nightwing is already decompensating, poor baby (and Sumi, I totally agree -- it drives me insane how damned many Spanish terms of endearment Tarantula uses), I get this feeling that Babs is going to be traumatized by the end of this BoP arc, and if Steph AND Mr. Drake both buy it, Timmay is going to lose his shit totally.

I hope it happens.

Damn Joss Whedon for making me like the stories that bring the pain!

I'm such an uncritical reader. That whole fight just made me think Deathstroke is soooo coooooool.

Where does IC happen in relation to GL?

I mean -- he must be, you know, here rather than somewhere out in space -- therefore weakened because of his messy personal life?

Heh. I thought the same thing, -t!

I don't remember him being that cool in his previous appearances, so I was critical. Also the use of the superlative always makes me suspicious, especially if I don't find the character sexy.

I suspect that, as pretty as Dick is when he's angsting, Timmay will be prettier. It's Wesley Syndrome. (Also applies to John Crichton. But I digress.)

I just read Batman 'Hush' the other day and I was wondering if anybody else has too. I liked it quite a bit.

I was wondering though, if anybody else who read it thinks that his childhood friend, Tommy is the masked figure behind the setting up of Batman at every turn. I thought it could have been Two-Face but I didn't see the duality in any of his schemes.
