Buffy: So how'd she get away with the bad mojo stuff? Anya: Giles sold it to her. Giles: Well, I didn't know it was her. I mean, how could I? If it's any consolation, I may have overcharged her.

Okay, I totally didn't understand JLU. I got the clone thing, and....that's about it. Me dumb. Me so d-u-m.

That was interesting.

I'm glad that Ollie was back this week.

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

Just nasty, and jerks me right out of the text.

Yeah, seriously. I'd never really understood what you meant by bad art taking you out of the text until that cartoony shit.

Once I got over the "who is this BATGIRL???" issue

See, I accidentally spoiled myself for that, and I guess it's kind of nice not having to worry about that. I'm waiting for the identity to be revealed so I can become unspoiled.

I'd just binged on 40-odd issues of Cassandra Cain

I just finished reading "The Mark of Cain," and while I found it somewhat hard to follow (I'm not sure how much of the backstory I'm assumed to know, because I couldn't really figure out what I was supposed to be learning), it took me until the last page to realize I was being introduced to Cassandra Cain. This'll be cool, since I'm finally reading something totally new that has important ramifications afterward (Cass being the current Batgirl and all).

Dude, I *love* NML.

I'm loving parts of it (the first volume was really good, generally, and there are some good stories in the second volume (I especially love Alfred's anecdote about Bruce's dad)), but there are some clunkers. The Mr. Freeze issue is ridiculously dumb.

Okay, back to reading. Oh, few questions to see answers to when I return: Did Commissioner Gordon know Babs was Batgirl? And who's Lock-Up? And why, since Penguin is such a cool major player in NML, is he being so underused in War Games ?

(Oh Christ. Dick just said to Tim, "You're not too big to spank." You people have sullied my mind. And who's Azrael?)

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

who's Azrael

Mini bio shamelessly stolen from DCU Guide for Azrael (Jean-Paul Valley). (Who is so totally in my mental marshmallow squad.)

It was only when his father died that Jean-Paul discovered that he had been the avenging angel of St Dumas, the agent of a strange religious sect. He also discovered that the mantle passed automatically to him, and was initiated into the Order of St. Dumas. However, aided by Batman, he resisted his mental programming and became a more moral vigilante. For a time he filled in Batman's shows, to disastruous effect as he had not yet shaken off the Order's programming, but he continues to try and make up for this, helping out his former mentor when he can.

I finished NML. I read it all in one day, basically. Quite a ride. Sarah's death was a shocker. But it made Joker scary, and that was good. Incidentally, I'm one of the few who liked Batman Forever, and I like it a little less now comparing Tommy Lee Jones' Two-Face with NML Two-Face. Now I wonder how Scarecrow will come off onscreen.

I loved the courtroom scene, especially Harvey questioning Two-Face. Bane didn't do much for me, though.

I was surprised to discover Lex Luthor's involvement. Were there any clues in the Supes title, like random scenes of Lex making suspicious phone calls? I'm still not sure I entirely understand the whole plan with Harding and whatnot, but I figured it made sense in some way. Although I don't get the deal with Catwoman and the disc.

My hands are numb.

Quite a ride. Sarah's death was a shocker.

I *so* didn't expect that. It's like the Jossverse, you know? They're not afraid to bring the pain. I love it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It was very Jossian, and I felt out of practice falling for it so hard.

JLU: Did you notice that The Question has an analogue of Fox Mulder's poster?

ita, I noticed that in LJU immediately. It made me miss the good old days of when XF didn't suck.
