Green Arrow/Black Canary #18
Ganked from the CBR preview...

Green Arrow/Black Canary #18

I don't read GA/BC for several reasons, so I get (a) this kind of stupid isn't targeting my demographic and (b) this kind of stupid isn't keeping me from buying the issue, but I felt compelled to say WTF to the last two panels in this page.

Since when do heroes use other heroes' real and caped names within earshot of a villain? Is this considered normal now? Or, simply put, WTF?

	When the hell did Ollie get an Arrow signal?! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Judging by the color, it could be coming from a Green Lantern ring...assuming there are any that aren't in space for Blackest Night right now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Except a Green Arrow signal light would pretty much HAVE to be green no? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Point. Still think it's silly. :/ (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I'm trying to give Ollie the benefit of the doubt here. Also because it would be hilarious if Hal just had unfortunate timing there. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Flipped through to that page at my LCS. Okay, it really was an Arrow-signal, but Ollie didn't do it, and the timing joke was made. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	as long as the arrow itself was green the light could be normal (Reply to this) (Parent)

	XD Ollie! There's a Green Arrow signal in the sky! Oh... Oh, no wait. That one's blue. Guess it's for someone else. My bad! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If you saw last weeks "Brave and the Bold" cartoon, it means he's on their Earth-3 equivalent where the evil "Blue Bowman" lives! Or else Mood Ring Lantern is in town. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	lol, yeah, the secret identities part didn't grab my attention, just the arrow signal cause really Ollie, that is SUCH a knockoff of Batman, no way to deny it (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Sometime in the 1940s, I think. But goddamn it's been a long time since I've seen it. He also had an Arrow Cave, Arrow Car and Arrow Plane. Seriously. Oh yeah, and a lot of money and a kid sidekick in a domino mask. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Poor Dinah. "Dammit, that line always works on Babs... Am I just not showing enough skin?" (Reply to this) (Thread)

	aaron_bourque 2009-03-11 10:42 am UTC (link)
	I would think Dinah would want ~~Babs~~ ~~Ollie~~ someone to be Bruce-obsessed . . . with Dinah. Aaron "The Whitaker" Bourque; after all, in the Silver Age, they had a little flirtation going on. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Well, Ollie's secret identity was never much of a secret. But using Bruce's name was pretty dumb writing, yeah :( Even if they weren't obviously in earshot of anyone, you'd think the rule would be "Cape names when in a cape." (Reply to this)

	mysteryfan 2009-03-11 11:05 am UTC (link)
	Wait, why is he Bruce-obsessed? Because he has an Ollie signal? Vertigo looks good. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	aaron_bourque 2009-03-11 01:03 pm UTC (link)
	Because Merlin DARED to attack HIS WOMAN!!!! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	lieut_kettch 2009-03-11 11:34 am UTC (link)
	Any reason why they're harassing a Checkmate agent? Or has Vertigo flown the coop? (Reply to this)

	mullon 2009-03-11 11:45 am UTC (link)
	I say, that's a joke son. (Reply to this)

	strangething.livejournal.com 2009-03-11 01:35 pm UTC (link)
	It's not clear from the art, but I think GA and Canary are moving away from Vertigo as they have this conversation. (Reply to this)

	grapefruitzzz 2009-03-11 04:01 pm UTC (link)
	Wel, I laughed. Although I suppose it makes no sense realistically, I like those sort of "What do you mean 'slutty Batman'?" jokes. (Reply to this)

	timemonkey 2009-03-11 04:03 pm UTC (link)
	So long as they don;t mention a last name along with the first name the villain has no way to know who they're talking about. Bruce Wayne isn't the only Bruce around. (Reply to this)

	How is it possible that this title has gone downhill after Winick? (Reply to this)

	goblin1138 2009-03-11 05:41 pm UTC (link)
	at least now we know Vertigo survived that Final Crisis splash page. (Reply to this)

	Just wait next issue where ollie brand new arrowmoble is deliver to the house and Dinah makes a sarcastic remark about not trying to be batman uh? (Reply to this)
