05:49 pm [trelas] [Link]	Moments from Gotham In a few posts here at the comm there has been some discussion of classism in comic books, which of course means that some commenters have taken aim at Batman, or Bruce Wayne, once more. It isn't the first time I've discussion or such commentary on how Batman could do so much more for Gotham with his money instead of playing with gadgets, although I'm always amused how those comments always single Batman out. The reason, however, why I'm always a bit puzzled by that criticism is that it isn't as if it hasn't been dealt with in the Bat-books themselves, with it having been established several times that Bruce Wayne is the biggest philanthropist in Gotham, if not even in the whole world, and the Wayne Foundation is a significant benefactor in several charity project. It's not a secret, it's not a loose, it's canon. It's been dealt with several times, even if Morrison did drop that really weird dialogue in his storyline. The discussion did however remind me of an awesome Batman story published in Gotham Knights 32, written by Devin Grayson with art from Roger Robinson. It takes place directly Bruce Wayne: Murderer/Fugitive, with Bruce Wayne having finally returned to Gotham after his innocence has been proven and with Batman having made peace with who he is. It was an interesting storyline and important one leading from NML, where Bruce Wayne failed to save Gotham, despite trying everything. It is a beatiful issue, with each page showing a moment in his life and the impact both Bruce Wayne and Batman have on Gotham, with both of them being as important. So I thought I would post some pages from the story, with it proving extremely difficult to choose which pages to include. I decided to go with scenes that show the long-term impact Bruce has on the city and the lives of different people there, although the story had beautiful moments concerning his relationship with almost all of the central Bat-Clan and awesome Bat-action.

12:05 am [perletwo] [Link]	Classic Gotham City Architecture. Over on noscans, in a thread about comic book architecture, there was a little talk about the Batman Black & White story about the guy who wanted to do a coffee table book on the Kooky Funky Anthropomorphized Object Buildings of Gotham, and a request to repost. So I give you 2 1/2 pages of an 8 page story, "Urban Renewal," by Will Pfeifer and Brent Anderson. ( You were really something...in your day. ) Tags: char: batman/bruce wayne, char: robin/nightwing/dick grayson, creator: brent anderson, creator: will pfeifer, title: gotham knights (46 comments \| Leave a comment)

11:54 am [kingrockwell] [Link]	by request, Huntress/Question (finale) I've had my six hours of sleep, so I'm back to wrap this bit up with a few scans from Gotham Knights #'s 38 and 39, the only time a writer other than Rucka referred to the pairing in the DCU.

05:14 pm [lipsofpoison] [Link]	Gotham Knights #7 - Alfred Pennyworth & Leslie Thompkins I've always loved these two and the Steph insanity aside, I'm a big Leslie fan too. So I thought I'd post this.

05:57 pm [lipsofpoison] [Link]	Batfamily Goodness. This post is on the family relationship between Dick, Tim and Bruce through Gotham Knights 8-11. The short story is that Hugo Strange targets him and believes he knows that Bruce Wayne is Batman and targets the Batfamily as the psycho psychologist. ( On to the boys...[lots of spoilers, 24 scans] ) Tags: char: alfred pennyworth, char: batman/bruce wayne, char: hugo strange, char: robin/nightwing/dick grayson, char: robin/red robin/tim drake, publisher: dc comics, title: gotham knights (44 comments \| Leave a comment)

04:54 pm [lipsofpoison] [Link]	Gotham Knights #42 The gist of it is, Alfred becomes sick with a virus. Precautions are taken and everything is done to make him better. This issue did a great job of convincing me Bruce is a human being. I could have posted the entire thing, because I really did love it. It also shows how big an effect Alfred has on those around him. I thoroughly recommend this one.
