It was at this time that she learned that her father was not only the Batman, but also Bruce Wayne, one of the wealthiest men in the world. Months later, Barbara Gordon, now paralyzed from her own attack, petitioned the courts and became Helena's legal guardian. Disguised, Clayface stabbed Selina right in front of Helena then ran off with Helena begging someone to stop him. He escaped the custody of the police to shoot Barbara Gordon himself while he hired Clayface to kill Selina Kyle, Helena's mother. When Helena was a teenager one of her father's archrivals decided to avenge himself against the Batman by mudering those he loved. Helena never knew that Barbara was also the costumed crime-fighter known as Batgirl. Growing up, Helena became close friends with one of the Batman's protégés, Barbara Gordon. Selina (presumably retired from crime), raised Helena on her own, and Batman was unaware that he had sired a child with her. Years ago, Catwoman had an affair with her greatest adversary, New Gotham's guardian, the Batman. Her mother was the metahuman Selina Kyle, the legendary "queen of the criminal underworld" who went by the pseudonym Catwoman. What appears to be a mess of an attempt in bringing characters together, slowly alters and changes to form a gripping and emotional story.Helena Kyle was born and raised in the city of New Gotham. – Josh ( read the full review) Titans Annual #1 Art by Brett Booth, Norm Rapmund, and Andrew Dalhouse The tone of the story feels as though Bedard was attempting to juggle both worlds, rather than fully immerse one world into the other. – Elena ( read the full review) Suicide Squad/The Banana Splits Special #1 Art by Ben Caldwell The book is gloriously shaggy and the characters have hair with a life of its own. – Josh ( read the full review) Harley’s Little Black Book #6 Art by Amanda Conner and Alex Sinclair …if you’re going to read anything featuring Jim Gordon as Batman, make it this story! – Jay ( read the full review) Detective Comics, Vol. With each new delay and the threat promise of an extended issue order, though, this story doesn’t seem like it’s going anywhere. – Elena ( read the full review) Dark Knight III: The Master Race #8 Art by Bill Sienkiewicz How about you? Batgirl Annual #1 Art by Bengalīut this is not a one-and-done and it’s sharing half its page length with another unrelated tale, and that’s really not what I want to spend $5 on. Personally, I feel pretty disconnected from this week’s output (probably because I haven’t read any of it yet). There were also some light-hearted crossovers and Harley’s Little-But-Nearly-DKIII-Level-Delayed Black Book. Jay loved it, at least on some scale of comparison, somewhere, probably. Oooookkkkaaaaaay, so in comics, we also saw our favorite inchworm move another inch, as DKIII returned from its seven-year voyage and plopped out its eighth installment. And then imagine the Babs/Huntress/Canary team up (we can throw in Iris for good measure)-they could give it a hip spin on the classic, and just call it Prey. We’ve got a solid few years of stories to mine, and I think they’re a perfect fit for an enterprise with an established track record of turning beloved characters into blubbering fools. So, given that, and given Elena’s take on this week’s Batgirl Annual #1, I’m thinking it’s time Berlanti and Kreisberg bring the Babsgirl of Burnside into their world. There have been some strong moments, but more often than not, I found myself ignoring bad acting and aggravating over-emotionalizing because I enjoyed the adventure and nerd-service. I have been known to indulge in the occasional Arrowverse program over the years.
