    Also, Cassie was in a Lazerus Pit, which could affect her personality. Maybe not teach her how to write in Navajo code, but you never know. ;)

    Yea, I'm blaming it on the Pit. I remember the thing with Leslie too, though I don't remember when.

    I think it was Act Three part 8, which was Batman, or it may have been part 7, which I think was in Legends.

    It was an awesome scene and Batman basically verbally bitch slapped her.

    And it wasn't if she came back to the US, it was if she practiced medicine ANYWHERE, EVER, again.

    I liked girl Robin. Not every Robin has to have the same physical features.

    Two Face going back to being Two-face for a reason which totally ignores his psychology: Check

    Great White Shark is from Arkham Asylum: Living Hell (miniseries). It's apparently a good read, although I haven't read it yet.

    I read it before I read "the" Arkham Asylum, and really enjoyed it. It was good stuff, and I'm kind of glad they're bringing Great White into the main comics, he's an interesting character with a good origin story. I was cheering for him at the end of Living Hell. I just hope they don't make him into a wannabe black mask

    Yeah, I'm glad to to hear they didnt just totally forget about him.

    Spoiler story for people who cant be bothered to read AA:LH
    [spoiler:b626e123e4] He's a corporate fraudster and embezller who manages to cop himself an insanity plea. Except the judge points out "Gotham must be the only place where you're worse off on an insanity plea than in jail" and he gets sent to Arkham. He gets traumatized as "the new fish" for a while and Killer Croc slashes him giving him his "gills". Then during the course of the Living Hell story he gets locked in Mr Freezes cold room for a while and looses most of his extremities from it. By the end of the story he's a bigger criminal than he was when he came in.[/spoiler:b626e123e4]

    Before I found out he was from Living Hell, I thought he was just a wannabe Black Mask.

    And oh how I hate Black Mask.

    I bought Batgirl: Year One last week and enjoyed it immensely. It really showed a lot about Barbara.

    Is Robin: Year One any good? It's by the same people (Scott Beatty, Chuck Dixon), and I like Robin, so I'm guessing I'd enjoy it. Plus Chuck Dixon knows how to write the Bat family.

    I also thought they wanted someone smaller fame wise.

    Why do you think he worked so hard to get famous?

    So he could get near David Letterman.

    He was charmingly funny in A Knights Tale, but he does need to add that zesty flavour of crazy to it. I think he should be able to pull it off.
