Have you read or heard about Nubia/Nu’Bia before?
Before this, the only time I really read Nubia in any media was the version that Grant Morrison made for books like Final Crisis, New 52 Action Comics and The Multiversity from Earth 23.
I had heard of her before that, but more because of the possibly awkward name as part of DC’s many awkward attempts to try to make the DC roster of heroes more diverse around that time, along with characters like Tyroc of the Legion of Super-Heroes.
What did you enjoy about Nu’Bia in these stories?
Her costume was kinda cool. The stone thing was an odd but surprising addition to her power-set. …That’s about it, honestly. I was super-bored with these two issues if I was perfectly honest. I can’t say there was anything truly bad about that story, but not much stood out to me either.
Reading this I couldn’t help but think “Man if this is the character we’re going to follow as the new Wonder Woman in 5G, I don’t know if I’ll be into it.”
The Supergirl issue was okay, though really in terms of Nubia she’s just kind of there as a damsel in distress. I did find it interesting that Supergirl here flirted with being an Amazon, it feels like a precedent for how Kara would later train with the Amazons later on when DC would bring her back in Superman/Batman.
Which moments were some of your favorites?
Like others have said, the moment where Blue Ice is confessing who she was as she was dying was interesting. The idea of how she was taken out was kind of clever.
What were the most enjoyable parts of this crossover between the Adam West Batman and Lynda Carter Wonder Woman?
There was a lot to love with this, mostly the epic scale of it all, spanning 40 years, truly seeing the characters grow and evolve over that time. It was serious enough where it felt like there was stakes, but was still fun to read.
Which time period did you most enjoy? Why?
GIMMIE MORE BATMAN '77. I just thought it was so cool to see an extrapolation of where that kind of goofy but serious world could go in 10 years, and I would love to see further adventures of Batman, Nightwing and Batwoman.
Favorite depiction of a supporting cast member that made an appearance?
Catwoman was definitely a highlight, seeing her change as the years went on, and being good enough to hang with the heroes, but still just devious enough to make their interactions fun. I also liked the idea of Talia being this would be childhood friend of Bruce’s.
