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

That really needs to be somebody's tagline.

they honor the Scary Bat-God With Their Union
Dude, you know what? It's funny, but it's SO true. I can't think of any 2 other Batverse characters for whom it would be as true.
t edit In the setting of a pairing that I believe, that is. So no Dick/Ra's.

Man. I'm not sure how many of you saw the genesis of the Scary Bat-God reference in comics chat -- I wonder if Te put that in her memories...

Christ. I just lent a co-worker Y: Last Man, and now I want to take it back. I forgot there were boobies. I must make a note not to hand him Fables either.
I read Hush, and am sad. I thought it was Tommy, and then I thought it wasn't, and then ... poor Bruce.
However, the love story bothered me. It's not Batman/Bruce in love, because I kinda liked the whole Sasha revelation in Fugitive 3. I just don't get why her. I even prefer Talia.

Lend him the one where Yorick reminisces about losing his virginity—the reaction to that ought to be entertaining.

I keep forgetting that my comics have, like, bondage and sex and nudity and violence and gore and profanity and other controversial stuff. Some relatives were over for Thanksgiving while I was catching up on a giant stack of comics, and some of them were exclaiming, "I haven't seen one of these in years!" Got all grabby-hands. I wasn't bothered until I recalled that so many of my comics were not family friendly like whoa.
Had to do some fast swapping out with less interesting titles.

I'd previously lent this guy Red Son -- innocuous, and then The Ultimates, which he proposed reading to his son. Yeah. Talked him out of that.
Finally I have TT #18. Hey! Fun! Dead people! Bad people!
Something in X4 annoyed me. Well, two things. The thing about which I write was a categorisation of heroes. In which reality are Johnny Storm, Storm Storm and Cyclops energy-emitting supers, and Gambit isn't? I don't think I'll be getting the rest of teh series.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Maybe they're saying Gambit converts matter into energy instead of simply creating it? But I was under the impression he imbued objects with energy, since he talks about "charging" things so it does seem weird.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
When you place it in context -- who's going on the rescue mission to a space station (as in, Gambit gets to go, the other three don't) -- the categorisation seems even weirder.
And they open with what must be the world's dumbest "we're heroes, but we fight upon meeting" brawl. Surely they're a bit more mature than that. ALL of them.
