A. No, I read Gotham City Sirens in its entirety as it was released. It was my third favorite Batman: Reborn title after Detective Comics and Batman. I haven’t owned it for some time though, so revisiting it for this has been fun.
You know, I’d probably pick Harley as a dinner buddy. Selina was my first pick, but then I figured that with Harley, she’d be fun to get good and silly with.
C. Most dangerous…Selina. Catwoman isn’t someone to take lightly or underestimate. Ever. She literally has the claws to reinforce those notions too.
I’ve read issues 1 and 2 so far. Highly looking forward to the others!
Paul Dini is a wonderful human being in all aspects. I’d love to sit down wirh him and talk about his comic book work as well as his experiences at Warner Brothers Animation.
Great choice! Looking forward to going back to this.
Yep, I remember reading it all as it came out, but that was a LONG time ago, so it’s likely going to be semi-fresh.
On a dinner date, Ivy would be dead last, because, well, I’d likely be dead. Selina has the least chance of it ending fatally, though I don’t know how well we’d gel. Harley might have more in common, but if she doesn’t kill me, her ex will.
I think in terms of raw power, Ivy is the most dangerous, but without going into spoilers in later parts of the series, there’s a lot more going on in Harley’s mind than Bugs Bunny cartoons and romantic fantasies.
Is this your first time reading Gotham City Sirens? No I did read it When it was first released. But unfortunately I am sure I forgot parts so I will have to refresh my memory
Who would I like to have dinner with? Hmmmm. Could I say all three ? It would be one interesting dinner. But I would say Poison Ivy Find her the most interesting but I would have to remember not to order the salad
Who do I believe to be the most dangerous ? I would go with Poison Ivy again. Plant pheromones and one doesn’t mess with the Green.
This will be my first time reading Gotham City Sirens.
Question #2
They are all very beautiful, but also super-villains!
Definitely not having dinner with Poison Ivy, I like steamed broccoli .
Definitely not having dinner with Harley Quinn, she has some shady friends.
Under protest I would take Catwoman out to dinner. Hopefully, Maybe she wouldn’t lift my wallet and cell phone.
Question #3
No doubt in my mind Poison Ivy is the most Dangerous. She can control plants, vines, roots with her mind to ensnare you with. She can control people too.
