First off - DarkCrisis, I love the review. I agree with 90% of the stuff you say about the clix. And, I also have to agree with most of what you said about the books. BoP and NW are my two must-haves every month, followed closely by BG.

But...

Perhaps next time you should think about running this through spell check before you post, and (in particular) check for dropped apostrophes. I know it's a pet peeve of mine, but the agents belong to Oracle - therefore they are Oracle's agents. Sorry, again, just a pet peeve of mine. It would be different if this were just a random post, but as a front-page post, I'd rather see something professional. Again, sorry if I sound harsh, but I'm just trying to offer up some constructive criticism.

Finally - I kinda liked War Games...

Commish isn't on the bat team.

Though if I ever plan to make a GPD review I'll be sure and add him (and Harvey Bullock).

Hey Webs, these articles are really good. But as a fellow writter, I like to see credit being given. The taglines are nice, but a byline up top lets the writter's name be on the main page.

DC - Any thoughts to the U Batgirl being the period of time that Huntress wore the suit in NML? That leaves open the possibility of a Cassie REV with CCE.

Biased was bad choice of words. Abhorrence is probably better But can you slightly Abhorre something?

But admit it. It could have been a good story had they cut the junk out of it and made it a 4 issue story instead of a 24 issue story. "The further dehumanization of Bruce Wayne"

You and I also forgot to state that the primary goal of that story was to siphon all of the readers' money that they would have spent on book worth reading, like Ex Machina! (Arrrrrgh!) Like I said, go read it for free at the Library or sit down in the isle at Borders, they don't seem to mind that at all.

Again, I dug the review. Any plans on doing some more "Family Ties"?

We have a Harvey Bullock ... ?

Dern - no it's Cassie. WK has said as much.

Jacin - Do we? *knowing grin*

nice review DarkCrisis!

But Matches Malone is

Liked the article and I agree that Winnick has trouble keeping Bat-folks in character (especially his Nightwing over in The Outsiders!).

Yea what about Matches! And I like Wargames, the fact is that it shows just how powerful batman can be but at the sametime he can be so powerless

Batman teams in general and specifically JancinB's gotham team would benefit from crosswinds also. It may keep a highly mobile flight team down. I can certainly understand wanting to focus on making sure the Bat symbol on the dial means something though. The bat team is also highly susseptable to an earthquake BFC. (as are many teams)

Matches is Batman. It's not a different character. And his dial is basicly Batman-lite.

ID crisis horrible?

Sorry, you lose on that one.

War games wasn't nearly as bad as you made it sound either.

BoP is #### good though.

ID Crisis was one of those that was good up until the end which then ruined everything before it. And even then stuff like Deathstroke taking out the JLA alone was a big load of BS.

And War Games WAS that bad.

Incidentally, I think Dark Knight Strikes Again gets a bad rep. Not as great as DKR thematically, but it still touches on a lot of cool themes.

So was that Batgirl consistantly a better martial artist than Lady Shiva, or was it the usual case of a writer powering up a character just because? Lady Shiva is supposed to be THE martial arts lady as far as i knew? Ah well, we all know Bats could take em both, Superman could just stand and yawn, and Aquaman could...swim away, so (shrugs).
