BATMAN: STREETS OF GOTHAM #7

Written by Paul Dini; co-feature written by Marc Andreyko
Art by Dustin Nguyen & Derek Fridolfs; co-feature art by Jeremy Haun
Cover by Dustin Nguyen
Paul Dini returns to STREETS OF GOTHAM as Batman and Robin uncover a sinister plot involving dozens of Gotham City’s young runaways. Is Arkham Asylum escapee Humpty Dumpty at the center of the scheme – or is he just the tip of an even more dangerous iceberg? Guest-starring Abuse and Zsasz!
And in the Manhunter co-feature, now that Kate has finally tracked down Two-Face, she's ready to confront him for the hit he ordered on Gotham’s former D.A. But their confrontation is not going to go the way she planned!

Hey a Humpty Dumpty story, cool. :)

BATGIRL #5

Written by Bryan Q. Miller
Art by Lee Garbett & Trevor Scott
Cover by Phil Noto
It’s Bat vs. Bat in “Core Requirements” part 1! As Gotham City burns, the new Batgirl comes face-to-face with Batman and Robin, who are anything but happy about her running around with a bat-symbol on her costume. Batman confronts Oracle as Damian confronts Stephanie in the ultimate Bat-family feud.

Steph versus Damian? ...Woo Steph! Smack him around (even though it technically wouldn't make sense, what with his assassin training and such)! Maybe the fire on the cover is her blowing him up, as that's what she seems to be making a habit of doing so far in her series. :)

	Batman confronts Oracle as Damian confronts Stephanie in the ultimate Bat-family feud. Steph, when Bat-daddy and Oracle-mommy break up, it's not your fault. No matter what your little shithead brother says. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Guest-starring Abuse and Zsasz! Abuse? Abuse?? There'sa a fricking supervillain called "Abuse"? They're really not even trying any more are they? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	But Abuse is more of an anti-hero. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Hey, the Manhunter cover is upside down of the way The Source presented it. So which way is right? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	This way there's room for the logo at the top without the staff in the way, so that's my guess. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Judging by the signature on it, I'm thinking this is the right way. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Saw it on Dustin's DA, this is the right direction. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Dick, you dope. Babs isn't impressed by your father telling her how to run her organization, you think she's going to roll over for you? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	He's probably hoping she'll roll over on him. HEY-O! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Well, DC's plan to make me less interested in Batgirl with every new piece of information released is succeeding admirably. Can we bury this "superheroes fight and are mean to each other" crap once and for all? And is it really going to take this many issues of family feuding before Steph is accepted? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	lyraeinne 2009-09-22 12:18 am UTC (link)
	Word on that. Bruce had plenty of issues that provided an actual plausible reason for some infighting, but Dick more than anyone should be willing to give her a chance, at least. Particularly if Babs is willing to vouch for her, as the solicit seems to be implying. (Reply to this) (Parent)

I'm still holding out hope that Dick will end up taking an interest and mentoring Steph a bit, but apparently he's required by the high god of batdickery to give her the smackdown first. Sigh.

But my god, that is really gorgeous art. The perspective is nice, the costume looks fantastic, and her body has relatively normal proportions for an athletic eighteen year old girl. Very nice.
