Count me in the camp of those looking forward to this book and the tonal change that comes with it. I don't think any title is going to fully revert back to what the X-books were 15 years ago. The...

Yeah, after the last round of comments, I did look up some demography on the area and I can see where he overshot. I mean, its nothing to have Rogue learn French; there's even reasons she simply...

I can't recall any references during the start of their relationship either, and its curious because the in-joke around Gambit at the time (even now occasionally) is that other team members can't...

You're right, I didn't catch that. Was this even brought up during the 90's relaunch when they first started to become a couple? Lobdell and Lee were the big influences, but Claremont was still...

What a classic reference! Rogue feels so young here. And given the context of this scene, maybe its not a retcon afterall. The dialogue indicates she temporarily absorbed Northstar's psyche and...

Exactly. That bizarre R&G mini from last year is a prime example of this. If you were a Rogue or Gambit fan, you could not tell who this storyline was intended for, but the last issue seemed to...

All Gambit has to be connected to is Sinister--that is who he made his Faustian bargain with. The instrument to which Sinister uses to cause a mutant massacre, be it the Morlocks or another group, is...

I think we're both in agreement about missed opportunities and a poorly softballed drinking problem, but I believe that despite writers' inaction, Remy's physical problem of being in a now...

Yeah, I think death and resurrection has been so overused in comics that the psychological impact is underwhelmingly explored. When it was less common, we would see characters navigate in different...

While I wouldn't dismiss the possibility of an adaption-twist of the Trial of Gambit story, I'm not certain it makes logical sense in this animated universe.

For the wider audience who grew up...

Thank you for your responses. Its frustrating to be reminded of the plot ambiguity and loose threads hanging around in their narratives, but this does clarify how I should cautiously view the R&G...

The Otherworld death and subsequent resurrection is sort of confusing for me. Partly because there seemed to be some power trickery in his fatal battle with Merlyn, but mostly its how the storyline...

I keep thinking the same, but then what is this really hiding? Most fan theories I've come across agree the romantic aspect may be too obvious and believe she is really working with Erik to control...

But that's the rub--its never going to be any character other than Bruce to do the deed. The police or a member of SWAT could be responding to a crisis and have the Joker in their line of sight,...

I'm just tired of the maiming and killing of Bat characters just to isolate Bruce or test his resolve as a hero. The fact that she dies by the Joker's hand makes this event even more repetitive. I...

These two stories are a bit dated, but I have recommended Batman: The Long Halloween and Batman: Dark Victory among to new readers and they were able to enjoy it without getting lost in the history....

For what its worth, I do think the writers were likely framing Harper as non-binary. That aside, the reason I brought it up was not to debate it, but to show that while it was a significant quality...

I don’t think it was overstated. One reason mostly: tumblr. The polarity between a comic forum and a tumblr blog is so extreme, that if both platforms aggregated negative views, surely it can’t be...

eh, it came across as two-parts justifying her feelings, and one-part realizing it was an overreaction. She doesn't apologize to him, calls him a mess, and then they exchange some 'flirty' banter...

Where he tells her to stop hitting him in the face, yes I remember and the bizarre lock of hair she gives him as some Victorian-age token of remembrance. Was one of them dying of cholera?

Babs did clock him under Simone's run of the Nu52 Batgirl (I think issue #4) and possibly in the Burnside version too. I think Gail's example bothers me most, because its such straw-women's version...

Babs has hit Dick multiple times.

I would also add that Midnighter and Apollo were designed as these powerful avatars of Batman and Superman--with less restraint. Many of the Wildstorm heroes operated in a similar vein with either...

The best answer I've seen floating around is that Eastwood is Oliver Queen under cover at Belle Reve. It makes sense and at this point I would be shocked if it wasn't Ollie.

On that note, Timm's influence on the Batman animated works is not that original when it comes to its women. He simply threw Barbara into the ever-expanding harem of love interests Bruce had in the...
