Top 10 questions I have about comic books
Have I mentioned how much I love writers who revel in the fact that they're uninformed about something? They're ever so cute and clever. Like head lice.
Tara: Do you have any books on robots? Giles: Oh, yes, dozens. There's a lot of research to be done in order to--no, I'm lying. Haven't got squat. I just like watching Xander squirm.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Now, now. She admits in the first paragraph that she doesn't know much about the industry.
And why exactly did the editor assign her this story rather than someone who did?
The problem with the male cats is that they don't have the whole Bat-hookup angle working for them.
Clearly you need to start writing for DC Comics so you can correct this.

I'm so amused by the guest voices on tonight's JLU. I'm expecting Vixen to say to Vigilante, "Take me, sir. Take me hard."

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Yup, that would be great. Of course, the question is what the hell is J'onn thinking about sending Vigilante on a space mission? That bit about GL not being able to go because there might be confusion as to who is in charge is utter nonsense.

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.
I was kind of scratching my head about that one, too. Exactly how much use do you have for an Old West gunslinger on a mission to rescue miners in the depths of space ?
Still, I enjoyed the episode. Vigilante made me laugh quite a bit, though part of it could have been me making mental comparisons to Mal.

Maybe the JLU has a diversity requirement in staffing?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Does Ibn al Xu'ffasch only exist in the Kingdom stories? I read some scans on scans_daily, and the Batman made me want to scream.

Pretty much, yeah. There was a Batman story a while back, can't recall the name, where Batman and Talia had a son, but I think it's been retconned out of existence, or at least, not acknowledged until someone decides they want to play the story.

I used to like the idea of Batman and Talia, but those snippets from the Ibn story really put me off. I guess it's down to him and the bodyguard from Murderer.
Question: I have a co-worker whose entire Batman exposure has been the first three movies, my mutterings, and Red Son. At home, I have No Man's Land and Bruce: Wayne Murderer in trade, as well as some Batgirl. I want to prep him a little for Batman Begins. NML or BMW? Which is more illuminating and less confusing for a tyro?

Of the two choices, I'd say BMW.
