"No. I've always enjoyed Dick."

Sniggers..

[Jimmy Bond]

Can't wait.

I've always enjoyed Dick.

Ohh context is your friend.

[Lemurion]

Sounds like it's going to be really good.

Ohh context is your friend.

Gah, the guy above me wrote that at the same moment.

To be fair, it did instantly grab my attention lol

[DarkKnghtJared]

Can't wait.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.

Yep, still got the sense of humor of a small child. What of it?

It's kind of a shame that by coincidence, both Cornell's B&R arc and Finch's first arc, which are launching at almost the exact same time, are both going to deal with dead (or in danger, but I think they're both dead) women from Bruce's past who we've never seen before. I'm not saying it means the stories won't be good, but it's going to feel very repetitive and probably make the weaker story look even worse in comparison.

Heh I love still having a childish sense of humor at times.

And I'm really looking forward to his arc. Hopefully it's good enough to land him on some longterm batbook in the future.

[Mr Prince]

I love that there's some fallout for a character just from being arm candy to Bruce Wayne. That's intriguing.

Great point. Obviously with Cornell's short notice it is not that big a deal to me personally, but i know it will spark rage with the narrow minded fans we have seen recently.

[Mr. Holmes]

It won't bother me, since I won't be reading Dark Knight.

Yeah--I was honestly thinking we'd get in Cornell's arc an old girlfriend that we've seen in the past, like, say, Vesper Fairchild or something.

And, with the delays already happening, the book will be spaced out so far no one will give a damn

Sniggers..

Omg, don't call them that.
