Of course, I'm falling in love with Cass all over again. Her hero worship is so desperate.

As is his blind spot for her, like we discussed last night. (The scene on the rooftop? Manoman.)

All Cass's fragility is carefully concentrated. Oh, she'll knock Steph out without hesitation, get clocked to help illustrate her point (the lesser among us might work on our language skills and just explain...) but she's so shaken and vulnerable about the possible imperfection of Batman.

Reading this is making me more pissed about War Games. Why would I want to read the TPBs of that? Pfft.

The scene on the rooftop? Manoman.

Oh, YES.

The scene on the rooftop? Manoman.

Oh, YES.

I mean, DAMN.

Oh, she'll knock Steph out without hesitation

So fucking funny.

get clocked to help illustrate her point

That was so awesome.

but she's so shaken and vulnerable about the possible imperfection of Batman.

She's screaming at everyone.

The scene on the rooftop? Manoman.

Dude, seriously. I don't think I knew about the blind spot thing, but it makes that scene make so much more sense. Because I was all, "...the fuck? He's talking to her? Wow."

Reading this is making me more pissed about War Games. Why would I want to read the TPBs of that? Pfft.

I've been having the exact same thoughts, ita.

Does "Jossverse in Other Media" cover what other characters in other shows say when referring to the show? Like in tonight's Gilmore Girls, when Rory, upon learning Paris is going to "put herself out" for the evening, asks "Who are you going to hook up with, Spike and Drusilla?" Does that count?

Does "Jossverse in Other Media" cover what other characters in other shows say when referring to the show?

Originally, I think it was meant to encompass the actual Jossverse in other media (namely, Fray ), but as far as I can tell, it's now a general comics thread.

Random Buffy references are usually announced in Natter (Vonnie scooped you, man), or the Buffy thread.

Incidentally, the DKR wouldn't happen to be Dark Knight Returns, would it?

Yep. DKR means Dark Knight Returns. I'm a huge fan of the original, not so much of the sequel, which I found a bit messy and a bit overdone. But Miller's 1986 work is my favorite Batman tale. My second favorite is the Elseworlds Red Rain/Bloodstorm/Crimson Mist story.

I'm a huge fan of the original,

As are most people.

not so much of the sequel,

As are most people, I think.

which I found a bit messy and a bit overdone.

I haven't bothered to check it out. I kind of don't want to, as if it'll taint the awesomeness of DKR.

My second favorite is the Elseworlds Red Rain/Bloodstorm/Crimson Mist story.

I am unfamiliar with this story, but I'm sure others in this thread aren't.

Those are the vampire re-imaginings, right?

I admit, I'm more partial to the stories where Selina isn't actually feline. I liked Red Son (a tremendous amount), and the Chaykin one also comes to mind.

Uh, unspoilerishly, what does the third volume of Fugitive cover?
