Char vs. Amuro. One of the best space fight scenes ever!
Is anyone else horribly curious as to what the ‘Knightfall’ in Batgirl will be? Maybe she’ll (GASP) end up in a wheelchair? Treading fresh ground here, Gail Simone…
But seriously. I’d love to see Jean Paul Valley take over for Batgirl for a while. Or Betty Kane if she weren’t on life-support (in a literal and meta way). Or Cassandra Cain (if she still exists). Or Stephanie Brown (if she still exists). Come on, people, let’s get some more Bat-Girls in here!
Frank Quitely’s artwork for the Grant Morrison feature in the May ‘12 issue of Playboy.
“I got interested in the class element of Batman: He’s a rich man who beats up poor people. It’s quite a bizarre mission to go out at night dressed as a bat and punch the hell out of junkies. And then he goes home and lives in this mansion. There’s an aspirational quality to him—he’s an outlaw and he can buy anything. He has a new Batmobile every movie. He’s very plutonian in the sense that he’s wealthy and also in the sense that he’s sexually deviant.
Gayness is built into Batman. I’m not using gay in the pejorative sense, but Batman is very, very gay. There’s just no denying it. Obviously as a fictional character he’s intended to be heterosexual, but the basis of the whole concept is utterly gay. I think that’s why people like it. All these women fancy him and they all wear fetish clothes and jump around rooftops to get to him. He doesn’t care—he’s more interested in hanging out with the old guy and the kid.”- Grant Morrison
Looks like Damian’s foot on the far right, hah!
I would have torn off my own arms for it to be Tim like a year ago, but I really don't think it'd make sense now, and there's no way they'd do it with Bunker already on the team (though have I mentioned that I'm gay this issue yet, chica?) I think they'll go with a girl, which is a bit of a cop-out since they've already at least got one lesbian character leading her own series. If it's a guy, I'm putting my money on a lesser-known-lantern or earth-2 character.
You’re probably right, but I REAAAALLLYYY hope it’s not an Earth2 character. Especially now that they’ve said it’s someone ‘iconic’. Though they stretch the definition of iconic at DC quite a lot sometimes… and your Bunker impression is so accurate!!
