Dick kills the Joker (short term--CPR is magical in the DCverse) in Last Laugh, in a fit of passion, thinking the Joker had killed Tim. Dick reacted to what he did by moping for a while and refusing to answer his phone.

Cass defeated Shiva in Batgirl #25, which comes in between the Batgirl issues of Murder and Fugitive.

Nightwing: The Target is a one-shot that came out under DC's prestige format, and it's Dick as a police officer who's been accused of murder. It's pretty good.

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor

Just finished Endless Nights. I have now read the entirety of the core Sandman stuff. I've got the shakes and the cold sweats already. More, goddammit.

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

That's my girl!

I thought Batman himself would need to resort to utility belt trickery to manage that?

She can beat Batman, you know. I mean, I don't think she can outthink him, and so would lose, but she can outfight him.

It worked, the way they did it.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Piffle. SA was infinitely cool to begin with.

You people, with your nice. Thank you.

Okay, I'm three issues into Fugitive, Volume 2, and may I just say, regarding Murderer and Fugitive:

This. Fucking. Rocks.

I read it on the rec of Tom Scola, and it was the push that tipped me over into actually being a *fan* of comics versus someone who just listens with a grin as her friends talk about them. It also made me fall for Batgirl.

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

Yes, I am totally using this as a hook. It's a very good hook.

It also made me fall for Batgirl.

And yeah, I get it now. She's so adorable.

Anybody know where I can find a good selection of DC universe 6" action figures (specifically classic!batgirl, supergirl, wonderwoman or catwoman?)
