#river's dc phase 2.0: now with more canon compliance

[alto-tenure]

chuck dixon really fails so hard at writing straight people, which is rather ironic for a homophobe. without the next panel in this sequence I would think Dinah meant "is my relationship with you strictly professional" and not "well if you're not hooking up with Dick can you hook him up with me"

know you can't save everyone. know you have to try. tim trying to keep everyone safe at his school during war games is getting to me

fellas is it gay to move across the country to be closer to the person you want to get back on your team after she left to get married to her on again off again relationship

she peels the crust off her sandwiches, this is the minor characterization bit I love to see

(Huntress/Spoiler: Blunt Trauma)

This is really interesting. I never finished Cry of the Huntress (got halfway through it and then stopped for. Some reason?) and I haven't read Huntress 1989. But I do know that this feels particularly interesting with Helena the sole survivor of a massacre that killed her entire family.

And also...Steph did very much want him dead during her initial appearances. She doesn't anymore, but I think the "anymore" is an important qualifier in that statement.

"love can exist with hatred, each preying on the other--"

...I think I get wondercheetah now

[alto-tenure]

"he's just not gay for me anymore"

[alto-tenure]

I think the major thing about Batgirl (2009) is that it feels less like a story written to be about Steph and more like a story already written that Steph was inserted into. I liked Wendy, though I expected to; the Gray Ghost plot was wasted potential; and Detective Gage ended up being the only character introduced that I was remotely invested in.

[alto-tenure]

the thing is that the pile of comics I want to read for me versus the pile of comics I want to read so I can write better fic are like, not that different in size, but the latter pile decreases at a faster rate...my brain sucks I wanna be able to read comics for me not just for writing

dc first: batgirl/joker is literally so good. I do not like picking up books with joker in the title but. it does feel like a plot straight out of Batgirl 2000 like yes!! she would do that!!!
