    That Red Robin preview felt a little bit like Spider-Man. In a good way.

    Looks awesome, I followed Red Robin for a while but then fell off around #5 or something but the new arc looks pretty good.

    I don't like the way DC does their previews though. I wish I could have some type of back/forward buttons on those pages

    I like that Red Robin actually acknowledged that Cassandra exists, and that someone might actually care about where she is.

    Yes, that's cool too. She was also given a nod of sorts in the new Birds of Prey, but I don't think she should have been, in that context.

    If she hadn't already had an abortive turn as a villainness, I'd be cool with her being White Canary.

    It's a really cool costume, though!

    And Cassandra Cain deserves another cool costume.

    Edit: On second thought, I looked at White Canary again and decided it's too reminiscent of Mortal Kombat characters like Mileena and Kitana.

    I don't think she's the White Canary, but Gail Simone had some cryptic words about Cassandra that she posted on her forum over at CBR:
    Gail Simone wrote:
    I believe Cassandra's story is going to change.

    Can't say more yet.

    Maybe she's going to appear in BoP after all, or she'll be writing her in the future?

    It already doesn't work anymore because she can read now and the central concept of her pitch was Cass being so into the Bible that she started struggling through it without really understanding it at first.

    Unless the retconned her ability to read. Which I'd be all for.

    Just not the AngelBat story.

    Damien Wayne has a cat and a bloody fist. Given DC's current direction from this I extrapolate that he raped and killed Catwoman and then stole her cat.

    I kid, that actually looks like it could be pretty good. Multiple Bats beating the crap out of bad guys should be fun anyways.

    I like adult Damian. I also think that the story will be a prologue to #666, and perhaps even revolve around Dick's death as Batman. Hopefully Dick doesn't actually die, and the events leading to #666 are directly averted rather than indirectly averted by future Batman stories by different writers that ignore Morrison's continuity.

    Has anyone here read the whole "War Games" event? I notice a few issues of Gotham Central I'll be reading in the third hardcover crosses over into it. Quality wise is it worth picking up? Should I also get War Drums?

    It wasn't that good, because it was hard to take Black Mask seriously as that big of a threat.

    Also, in comparison to the other "gang war" type story of No Man's Land, it's no contest.

    And Nightwing gets taken out of the story as quickly as he did in RIP in one of those "what do we do with ____?" decisions.

    Yeah, Daniel, Kubert, Finch, and Quitely?

    One of these things is not like the other, one of these things, does not belong. But fuck it, it's Morrison and Batman. Batman R.I.P. aside, I think everything he's done with the franchise has been stellar. And R.I.P. was really only dragged down by the art.

    actually, nightwing got captured on purpose because he figured it would be the fastest way to get taken to bruce.

    i can see ambiguous.


    i think we can all agree that the scene where he rips out of the restraints right as the lobotomy is about to start is just bad as hell, at least.

    War games was where I came into comics.
    It is terrible. And I'm pretty sure jumping into the thing blind and having to put up with all these irrelevant characters I don't care about, and have little to no part in the story is what made me hate most of the Bat-family at the time.

    Though I mostly still felt that way after reading the majority of their solo books, so maybe not.

    The only downside is that Billy Tucci is a really slow artist so it's like she never came back hurp de durp.

    But good news, yes? I don't see Beechen or JT Krul's name anywhere near her.

    I guess it would be a reasonable bet that Gail Simone would be the writer, given her previous statement. And especially if it is in fact a White Canary book.

    I'd so buy a series about Cassandra just wandering the world, and punching things in the face what need punched in the face.

    They could call it Bat-Fu: The Legend Continues.
