And that wasn't Dini's fault at all right ? I mean, clearly the negative response to his run wasn't at all what plummeted the numbers.


Quite the opposite actually, the numbers on the book dropped for three reasons. The constant delays, Dini leaving the book and the departure of Guillem March.

So Harley Quinn and Catwoman trying to solve the mysteries of dead dogs around the city was not silly and caricaturesque ?

I'm sorry to say this Smutty, but you're Dr. Brooklyn when it comes to Paul Dini.

Sure, I'm the irrational one here, especially when Dini's work on the book was critically loved when it was coming out and it was somewhat a cult book, and the book only got negative reviews on the arcs that he didn't work on.
And it was wasn't charicaturesque. Harley Quinn hadn't been regressed to an idiot yet, she was just a nutcase, and one of my major gripes about Quinn is that most writers forget that she was an accomplished psychologist.

I heard my fair share of reviews disliking Dini's approach to GCS, until this very moment I didn't feel alone on this opinion

Nuh-uh ! That book did not receive universal praise, it ALWAYS had iffy rep.

And all of Peter Calloway's arcs were well received, specially the one with Talia's cameo.

Dude, I don't want to be contrarian just for the sake of it, believe me.

But, for what Gotham City Sirens was concerned, Dini did not give a royal shit about Quinn's background as a psychologist.

Harley Quinn was bumbly, cute, psychopathic little Harley Quinn, who paraded around in playful clothes, playing bimbo when seducing "Bruce", and who requested that her room had "lots and lots of toys".

If there was anyone who played to some effect her psychologist background, it was Calloway when she had Quinn manipulating Ivy's feelings of friendship towards her.

Nothing major, but I've seen a few places identify the first picture as Bane looking afraid, and I'm having trouble seeing fear.

Yeah, I don't really see him afraid in there. More like worried, but in a "What's wrong with you, bro?!" kind of way. And that second pic, Batman and Bane look like they are brofisting. Honestly, these pics are kinda terrible. They look like they were taken during lunch and they were playing with the cameras.

Yeah, this scene looks to be taken from the teaser, where he definitely doesn't look afraid.

They probably were. These types of photos never capture the scenes very well.

So you wake up in bed only to find some stranger has broken into your house and is now staring at you as you sleep, and he's wearing that, and you don't find that scary?

I find ANY stranger that has broken in my house to be scary, it doesn't get me scared wether he is wearing, or not, any type of mask.

I don't think Ska was referring to just the mask.

Isn't that the part from the trailer where he says "When Gotham is in ashes, you have my permission to die."

I hope the name of it is Azrael related, such as having the weapon's codename be "Azrael."

Beyond that, I can't think of anything... maybe a EMP gun trying to off set the bombs?

It's the bat radia and he gets it on the planet zurr en arrh. The "rise" in the title actually refers to his rise into space.

For some reason... I highly doubt that.

Christopher called me yesterday to thank me for the good time we had at the clubs on NYE, and he confirmed the involvement of the zurr en arrh, Aunt Harriet, papa spank, Ace the Bat-Hound, Matches Malone, Alfred becoming the Outsider, and the Batusi.
