Batman: Battle for the Cowl - The Underground #1

This is from Batman: Battle for the Cowl - The Underground #1. It's by Chris Yost and Pablo Raimondi.

The Penguin wants the Riddler to find the Black Mask.

Catwoman sees the Black Mask and tries going after him, but she gets attacked by Jason Todd!Batman, who kicks her off a roof.

	Well, whoever the Black mask is he can't be THAT bright if he thought poisoning Poison Ivy's blood was going to last, unless there's another layer to it. Is the armoured bird guy Steeljacket or someone new? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Seriously. I was wondering why it even worked on her much in the first place, tbh. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	IIRC, it was an across the board poisoning. Given that it got him almost the entire asylum population as his muscle, I'd say it was pretty smart of him even if one or two slipped free. Though I guess it depends on how well he treats his new muscle. If he starts abusing them instead of say, just pointing them at targets they'd hit anyways, he'd be pretty dumb.

	Selina got pwned by Jason Todd AGAIN? What? Otherwise, this looks decent. Gives me greater hope Yost may not mangle Steph. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	She seemed very dispirited, staring at a newspaper story about Bruce Wayne being dead, and saying "I'm tired" repeatedly. Then Jason Todd!Batman showed up and she thought he moved like Bruce and thought maybe..? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I liked this one. When Selina mentions what Tim was wearing when she ran into him "yesterday" does she mean moments before he got nailed with a bat-a-rang to the chest? It's kind of interesting the way it seems like more than one character, in trying to do "what Batman would want" winds up attacked by Jason Todd. (Reply to this)

This is quite cool. The preview looked great apart from Eddie's face and I was missing the snark, but he gets some in these pages so I'm happy. Thanks for posting too. The art is great and I LOVE it when writers actually use villain's relationships with each other instead of just being straight badguys all the time. Plus an independent Poison Ivy is great, as if she's take crap from some stupid Black Mask.

But is anyone else disappointed the we have to read BFTC #3 to follow this story and Gotham City Sirens? I was hoping to avoid that altogether.

	Yay to Harley and Holly living together. Its nice to see she has a non-abusive friend. (Reply to this)

	Harley and the Riddler have a weird little chemistry. What type of chemistry, I'm not sure, but they have a weird connection. I know they had coffee together during dini's run (somebody posted it on the old!S_D), but have they ever talked on-panel otherwise? Was he one of the people she worked for early-on in her series? I can't remember. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Ugh guys I am hating the art. Everyone looks totally different from panel to panel, and I am not liking this take on Harley's costume. Also: am I the only one who doesn't like Holly? She was fun when she was like Selina's kid sister who was kind of a goof, but now I just find her irritating . . . (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I didn't like how he looked too much (the good side wasn't handsome enough), but the way Harvey was written was... it might well have been sheer Two-Face perfection. Those couple of pages seemed to "get" the character so much more than most of the whole Two-Face stories we've seen in years past. (Reply to this)

Dammit, is there an "edit post" feature available here, a la LJ? So I don't have to keep deleting and reposting if I screw up some minor bit of HTML-code?

We now return you to my original comment.

Somehow, it makes perfect sense to have Harley bite her nails...through her gloves.

Fits perfectly with her neurotic personality.

Dammit, I'm going to have to start following this.

	Hmm, I wonder, when Riddler said 'let that not be Joker behind my back', how could he not tell who it was speaking. I know I am being biased here but I am sure Joker doesn't have a low sexy feminine voice a la Ivy and I am sure Ivy doesn't have a falsetto. I dunno, I was just wonderin.... All in all, good stuff. I am even more excited for GCS. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	It was funny to me, that Riddler described the notion of Batman killing people as "so completely unlike him....a riddle" While Penguin said, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN, 'HE KILLED THEM'?! Then it wasn't BATMAN, do you understand? Batman doesn't kill!" (Reply to this)

Yay! Gotham Girl reunion. Aw, see how worried Harley is about Selina? Sure, they have their tiffs, but they stick together when it hits the fan.

Holly and Harley moved into an apartment after Countdown, that's so cool. Well, maybe not for Holly, I'd be drinking heavily too if Harley was my roommate.

I hope Eddie's not going to be scratching like a hound later. Harley's the only one Pam can touch without consequences of some kind. Ok, without bad consequences, then.

	Hey this looks fun. For some reason Harley reminded me of NCIS-Abby here. Trying to poison Poison Ivy, hah! I just loooove the "please tell me joker isn't standing behind me!" I like the fact that ppl always are aware that cooky though Harley may seem, she does come with some seriously dangerous baggage. (Reply to this)
