BOP #68: A canary or a "mock"ing bird? or The Sexual History of Helena Bertinelli
The first page of Cry For Justice #2 has caused some controversy on this board and elsewhere. But it's not like that kind of "behavior" is unheard of in Huntress' history.



First, Babs and the girls talk about Savant, who kidnapped Black Canary and chained her to a fridge bed.

Birds of Prey #68 - Page 5

Uh-oh. Anyone know the exact issues?

Birds of Prey #68 - Page 6

This was revealed in OUTSIDERS #12, but not the circumstances. Nightwing must have told Oracle. Because that's not weird at all.

Ah, so Roy is "quick to let fly." No wonder Cheshire got pregnant!

Birds of Prey #68 - Page 7

Well, give she's now about Roy's age due to that Lazarus Pit dip, it's less "mother and son" these days.

How does that date go?

Birds of Prey #68 - Page 22

Sheesh, I thought they only kept the masks on in ULTIMATE or ALL-STAR stories. Supposedly Gail Simone wrote this so Helene could find realize she deserved better in the romance department. Is a threesome with Hal Jordan and Lady Blackhawk really better? Well, I doubt they'd keep their masks on.

"...And as for objectifying Nightwing's character... she's not the first nor the last writer to have had characters remark on him being beautiful."

True, true. But no writer before (or since, really) did (or has done) so to such a great extent -- see the other Anon's comment about the 'Rise of Sin Tzu' novel upthread for one rather OTT example.

Again, I liked Grayson's writing more often than not, but I do think her portrayal of Nightwing was often compromised by a certain amount of objectification.
