We caught the torch-song Batman ep of JLU last night. It made Pete make That Face and mutter disbelivingly. I just giggled a lot. Mind you, I don't think it was a particularly good story idea, and even lines such as "I'm a rich boy with issues. Lots of issues" couldn't save it.
You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I just saw it. I'm gonna go over and sit with Pete.

Thrive to spite them
This episode is the only JLU episode I've seen. I didn't see all of it, I just started when Zantana and Bats were at the shop buying whatever and Bats was tying up the pig. At that point I had no idea it was WW so I thought that the pig was going to be sacrificed. The whole episode was kind of bizarre. I liked Piggy!Woman though. The "that'll do pig" made me laugh in a kind of shocked "I can't believe they did that!" kind of way.

I enjoyed last Saturday's JLU. When this season started I thought it would be a sort of new superhero smorgasboard, and I worried that they wouldn't concentrate on the previous group of characters anymore. Since I'm pretty much in it for the Flash and Bats, I'm glad to be somewhat wrong. I mean we aren't getting enough of the Flash and Hawkgirl is gone like a gone thing, but the whole old school JL character(s) working with one or two new superheros episodes thing is working for me.

JLU: Didn't Hawkgirl take off at the end of Starcrossed? Or am I assuming ocntinuity that isn't there?
Do I need to whitefont that?
I am, again, question mark girl.

No idea on the whitefonting -- I tend to err on the side of over whitefonting, m'self. And yes, Hawkgirl did take off at the end of the last season. It was a terrific story arc, and while I liked her character I thought it was the best way to wrap it up. Things are still open for her to come back if needed -- there could be all kindsa emotional turmoil for GL and trust issues and stuff. Big fun!

Oh, yes, I'm hoping for a big angsty return sometime this season. That would be great!
This last episode was fun. I enjoyed it, but in an almost entirely different way than I had been enjoying JLU.
I loved WonderPig blocking bullets with her bracelets.

Art Crawl!!!
Still no Outsiders on the New Comics Release List! Are we never to see a new Outsiders again?
But -- hey -- Birds of Prey, for some reason, I wasn't expecting that 'til next week.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Both Gambit and Jubilee are getting their own titles now? In addition to Rogue and the Starjammers? This is getting kind of ridiculous. Unless said titles are any good.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Both Gambit and Jubilee are getting their own titles now?
Are they miniseries or regular titles?
