so-soI thought I'd reread this since I liked the *idea* of Cassandra Cain. I feel her Batgirl design is unsexualised and batlike in a pretty neat way, but I don't love a lot of the art in this one, and it's hard to fully follow without context.
pickOh yes. I love the vintage feel, the sense of going back to Batgirl's orgins now, in a way that obviously plays off lore that has developed over the years, e.g. the Oracle/Cassandra references, the hint of something with Dick, the ominous whisper in references to the Joker.
The writers and artists did a great job of presenting a recognizable character with a bit more youthful hubris and pep, 1/?
I love this! Cass (one of the Batgirls) has been reading the classics, and the store owner warns her that Poe “can be pretty scary.”
pickI read this Batgirl series this week via Hoopla, and they were interesting. I liked how Black Canary was part of them and how some of the other characters became important in Barbara‘s life as well.
I wanted to do some Batgirl reading, so I got these.
pickMurphy really probes the flaws in Batman's mission, especially the inevitable collateral damage, and explores what it would be like for Bruce to give up being Batman. Batman suits up for one final ride in a vintage '89 batmobile to stop Azrael, who serves as a foil for Batman throughout the story.
This Joker is more like Two Face. Murphy makes Harley a fully realized character, rather than just a sidekick, and she's got her own spinoff now.
In this sequel to Batman: White Knight, Sean Murphy reimagines Azrael and the source of the Wayne family's fortune. The art is impeccable. Everything is drawn to look a but like it's from the 19th century.
Obviously, I couldn‘t pass this up when it showed up on a search at work. A new adaptation of a comic that lives rent-free in my head? Yup. Here for it. 🤷🏻♀️ #thekillingjoke #christafaust #garyphillips #alanmoore #brianbolland #dccomics #batman #joker #barbaragordon #batgirl
