He really does seem wise. I wonder how different from lara he will be.if the 'teaching' thing is another node to the buddha. I hope they do something profound.
Lara is Lara, doesn't care much for most things. Where her father is ever hopeful she is ever the cynic. I was hoping she'd be a little bit more laid back at this point. Who knows, maybe her brother help in that arena, as he's clearly not buying into what she's saying.

This isn’t cynicism though,this is just driven by emotions. this feels like anger and just that. She truly doesn't understand humanity. And it angers her that her father asks to serve them. I kind of got lucifer morningstar vibe from the conversation. Ofcourse, she is in her rebellious phase. I guess.
Okay, I’m open to the idea of seeing this contemptuous misanthrope receive character development and develop, at the very least, a cordial (in her own way) relationship with a human.
Keeping my fingers crossed in the hopes of seeing what makes her laugh, cry, talk a lot, aggressive, etc.

I'm actually wondering if Lara isn't protesting too much here. She's laying it on thick but I wonder if we don't find out that her time with her dad is indeed changing her view on humans but she's trying to resist caring because she still sees all the bad things too.

In an interview from DC Daily last week, Miller gave the description of Lara being the first of combining two powerful cultures. She’s fierce and stubborn taking on Diana’s personality. She is angry as to what she sees and still trying to understand the world and balance it all out.
Jonathan's look in the panels preceding Batwoman showing up makes it look like he was about to intervene had she not gotten there first. He is not taking too kindly to that Joker gang. Maybe he still lends a hand anyway.
Also, kinda a silly question, but has anything ever been made of Lara's blue hair? Always seemed like a weird choice to me, wonder if it was every addressed or if its not at all relevant.

"Enough to make a fella's head spin!"
Are we back to treating Clark like a dumb-ass hick who never really left the farm? I think I'll pass, if so.
