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.
Well, my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle.

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

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

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Of the two choices, I'd say BMW.

The main appeal of NML for me is that its Jim Gordon is so the Gordon of the movie. But I get that it might be a bit more opaque.
I intend to own Year One and the like, just not soon enough for him.

Oh, I agree with you on that, but Gordon isn't going to seem as key of a character (in the movie) to a tyro -- at least, not compared to Brucie boy.

Yeah, I guess. The thrill of squeeing "Isn't he perfect!" is geekery beyond his capabilities right now.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
tyro?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Like...tyrosine?
I guess it's down to him and the bodyguard from Murderer.
I liked her.
tyro?
Beginner.
What's the etymology?
The other good thing about NML is it's my only exposure to comic Scarecrow.
