The Official Batman and The Outsiders thread

[TheCorpulent1]

I found it a bit odd that this issue didn't address the seeming cliffhanger ending of #2 at all. We go from Cassandra bashing Thunder through a window with a big, dynamic splash page at the end of #2 to... various goings-on with the OMAC unit and more evidence that Hawkgirl's a useless 'tard.

 

[CBG]

And #4 will be out in 2 months.

 

[hippie_hunter]

Indeed.

But I really like to see how Bruce interacts with her.

Dixon is writing a Detective Comics issue dealing with the OYL reunion between them.

When will this come out?

 

[CBG]

No idea -- hasn't been solicited yet. Chuck Dixon disclosed this in an interview.

 

[Kebab gud]

I see no wrong in the way Cassandra acted in #3..

1: she hardly said a word.. true to character
2: she has like a million scars.. true to character
3: she doesn't care what others think... True to character
4: shes naked .... Fan service

3: she doesn't care what others think... True to character

This one is...up for grabs, imo.

 

[Doc Destruction]

I'd say she really only cares what Bats and Babs think.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Either way, it takes a special sort of "doesn't care what others think" to walk around naked in front of known lesbians. A kind she's never displayed before.

 

[CBG]

Like I said, I wonder what Dixon thought when scripting this. . .

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I figured it was just an easy way for him to have Thunder and Grace talk about her scars.

 

[CBG]

I just wonder how Thunder tolerated her after being thrown through a window.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

She probably realized there's not a damn thing she could do about it because 1) Cass is endorsed by Batman, with whom Thunder's already skating on thin ice, and 2) she couldn't take Cass anyway.

 

[GoldenAgeHero]

still would've been nice to see the beatdown. i wanted to see grace get owned trying to defened her lover.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

That would've been pretty awesome. It might've actually been more awesome for Grace to sit it out and just be like, "Trick, you know you picked that fight."

 

[CBG]

But it makes one think, how did Bruce and Cassandra reconcile. . . if they did.

 

[BrianWilly]

Apparently that's going to be shown in an upcoming issue of something or another. One of the Bat-books that Dixon is writing. Unless I just dreamed that up.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Cassandra was probably like, "It wasn't my fault, I was drugged," and Batman was like, "'kay." He forgave Hal Jordan, after all.

 

[Assassin]

this book is pretty good so far, this and countdown arena both suprised me.

Detective Comics, which Dixon said in an interview.

He actually forgave Hal before GL: Rebirth. But, like many things in DC, that was forgotten.

There's also the matter that Batman didn't go after her. Former sidekick turned murderer? And all he does is call her disturbed?

this book is pretty good so far, this and countdown arena both suprised me.

Really? IMO, the following 2 issues after the first was disappointing, and Arena is horrible.

 

[Assassin]

only the art, the writing is really good

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Arena's been pretty awful from start to finish. Even the novelty of seeing alternaverse characters kick each other around has worn a bit thin. The last issue looks like it might be pretty good, though. I've been wondering why the alternaverse Captain Atoms don't just step up and kick the inexplicably evil Monarch's ass.

 

[Assassin]

thats what it seems to be hinting at, duh. Its been keeping me entertained, this and all the ray palmer books

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I got it for the novelty of seeing a cowboy Wonder Woman, mostly. None of the alternaverse versions I actually like have won, though. Which I guess is good, since Monarch's army is clearly going to be a bunch of psychotic, unheroic versions of superheroes.

 

[Assassin]

Amazonia wonderwoman is hotter

 

[TheCorpulent1]

**** that ****. Cowboy Wonder Woman was the most awesome character ever. She only lost because that dumb ho Wonder Woman took a cheap shot.
