BATGIRL #45: Preview/Discussion

[BloodOps]

Luke and Barbara are so terribly forced it is sickening.

but that page with Dick...freaking hilarious.

[RedQueen]

Was the Batwing or Talon (Calvin) who saved Babs and Jason? (I'd have to dig out my issues to check.)

Yep you're right! Talon. got them mucked up.

[Godlike13]

Tarr really knocked Dick's face in that scene out of the park. Its pretty hilarious.

I mean sure you think it's forced but sickening? You can't really think of a better word than that?

[Confuzzled]

Luke/Babs are sickening... sickeningly CUTE that is!

[batsgrayson]

I mean yeah, they've had pratically no build up. And personally I'm not into them, I would't say it's sikening tho. It makes me cringe a little, that's all.

[Confuzzled]

You know, not all real-life hook ups have build up either. Especially in this Tinder age.

Tinder life.

Well I mean there is foreplay...just saying.

Sorry, but I can't digest that new childish book direction. I'll pass it, even though Dick presence.

Once they get beyond that occasional silliness it is usually more enjoyable.

As to how realistic those portions of the story may be, I'm probably older than New52/DCYou Jim Gordon now (isn't he in his mid-to-late 40s?), so I can't say if twenty-somethings may act like that these days. (Lord, I hope they're not that bad in reality!)

[Nite-Wing]

Babs is really starting to remind me of Lena Dunham's character in Girls
I had to drop that show so fast hopefully this version of babs is able to navigate all these men better than the show did

The bridesmaids scene was done for comedy effect, just to show how Babs is on top of everything. It semi-worked.

lol She was ready for everything! ... Except Dick

[Frontier]

Oh, Dick .

Wow, I think this is the best Babs Tarr's art has looked yet! Everybody looks great, and the coloring makes it looks so vibrant .

Y'know, if there's ever an attempt at a Sailor Moon comic from an American comic company, I think Babs Tarr absolutely deserves to be the artist for it. I'll be shocked if Usagi isn't at the wedding somewhere .

I think Babs and Luke are kinda cute, or at least I get what they're going for with the relationship, but that the writers kind of just jumped us into it has left me feeling kinda ambivalent to it.

Who the heck are all those bridesmaids?

[batsgrayson]

Yikes! I just read this...

I didn't like it that much. Dick felt very out of character to me, honestly it felt like they were writing him for people to flat out hate him.

This issue was the final nail in the Dick/Babs relationship it feels like. I mean there we're parts enjoyed, like the flashback or a little part of their final conversation. If this was their last hurrah it didn't feel right.

The wedding itself was nice, but I didn't even get to enjoy those last pages given what came before.

I don't know, overall, I was expecting something different.
