This issue was absolutely fantastic! And B-Man’s first appearance in the series was handled so well and was just plain fun to read. Seeing BG and her mentor work the case together was teeming with nostalgia and I absolutely hearted it! Zee showing up just zinged everything up a notch as well.
I take it you liked the Annual, then? What’d you think of Steph and Cass being sad that Babs is moving out? I thought that was a really nuanced and well done relationship moment!
I was pensive what B-Man showing up might mean in the way of story perspective and presentation, but, of course, my fears were easily allayed by Cloonan and Conrad’s always bright and fun vision of all things BGs.
Agreed. Batman is such a BIG character that you have to do him justice, but not let him overwhelm the other characters, and I think Cloonan and Conrad did brilliantly. This is a Bruce I love - not weak or overly hampered, but also not overwhelming everyone else.
Yara Flor is co-starring in Wonder Woman as of the end of #794 (the latest ish), so you know I’m back to reading Wonder Woman as it comes out while she co-stars.

If Cloonan and Conrad were to do a crossover between Batgirls (which stars my fav BG) and Wonder Woman (which co-stars one of my fav WGs), that would be the wonderful, indeed.
Off and on. I’ve liked several of the issues, but it hasn’t quite sucked me into “read every issue as it comes out”. I should catch up on Ultra!
Now that would be fascinating! I think Conrad has been asked about that, and says he is interested, but he’s not in charge (his normal answer for those kinds of questions).
