lego_jokerBack in ye goode olde days, Gotham villains didn't need no stinkin' telekinetic powers or rotting corpses to do their bidding. No, they got by through bein' tougher than the toughies and smarter than the smarties, and makin' it square. Well, as square as drug-running, arms-smuggling, "protection"-selling, and cold-blooded murder can be, anyways. Of course, the sheer snazziness of their character designs didn't hurt, either.
Like most of you, I imagine, I can't muster up any enthusiasm for the new Ventriloquist running through the pages of Gail Simone's Batgirl. As dull as I'd found Peyton Riley's story, I'd happily take her (preferably written by Paul Dini) over this SAW-wannabe any day.
But, as with many things in life, none can compare with the original.

Robin and Nightwing, traveling by train
Feb. 19th, 2010 03:21 pmmllesaysBy request for benicio127, who asked for "the Nightwing where Tim and Dick ride a train and talk about Jason and Steph being pregnant."
So Tim stops by the 'haven for a little bonding/training/risking our lives unnecessarily time with Dick. They catch a ride on top of a moving train, while blindfolded, like just for funsies, and decide it's the best place to discuss some of the stickier situations they've found themselves in, personally speaking.
( Real men talk about their feelings. They just don't look at each other while they do it. )

ORACLE: YEAR ONE (and John Ostrander)

parsimonia.insanejournal.comThis post consists of 6 pages (5 full pages and two halves of two different pages) from an 18-page story from The Batman Chronicles #5 (and a cover), called "Oracle--Year One: Born of Hope", written by John Ostrander and Kim Yale.
The story is supposed to take place after the events of The Killing Joke, where former Batgirl Barbara Gordon was shot by the Joker and her legs paralysed.
I'd also like to bring up something you may have already seen 'round the comics blogosphere, but writer John Ostrander has been battling with glaucoma, is apparently in danger of losing his eyesight, and is struggling to pay the medical costs. A website's been set up (www.comix4sight.com) with a longer explanation of the situation, but there's a online donation drive and an auction in August. Any money leftover is to be donated to the Hero Initiative.
