This page makes zero sense without the page before it and the one after.
Gail, what would your reaction be if they put in Falcon with the new Avengers sets?
Don’t you tease me about Falcon.
I Know It's Wrong...
…but I want Disney Infinity 2.0 with the heat of a thousand suns.
Avengers, Guardians, Spidey, AND Stitch, Jasmine, Maleficent and Merida?
Plus Donald?
Call me a casual gamer if you like.
MUST HAVE THIS NOW.

New 52 Character Flaw - Batgirl
One thing I...
New 52 Character Flaw - Batgirl
One thing I noticed as I browsed through my save image is one of Batgirl’s character flaw:
She lashes out at friends and foes when she’s completely stressed out.
…or when she feels underestimated.
When she just recovered and needed acknowledgement more than pity. She mistook Nightwing’s worry for underestimation.
When Joker returned, she lashed at Nightwing for not helping her without listening to her reason. On top of her own trauma, the involvement of her brother and the attack on her family, this is where she forgo all caution and actually acted with intent to murder Joker.
After she mended her relationship with her father, Commissioner Gordon was accused for murder and Knightfall launched an open war against the criminals of Gotham. She lashed out on Helena Wayne because she wore the same color as Knightfall.
When she went on her own to track the person responsible for sending her father to prison, she mistook Batman sending Red Hood to watch over her for mistrust. That is after she berated Jason for being a wanted man.
Whether this character flaw is handled well or not I leave it up to you, but I love that it’s maintained throughout the Bat Titles, creating a consistent character trait for Barbara.
I also like this flaw because it makes her similar to Bruce Wayne. There’s a certain closeness I feel when two characters share a trait.
Though not as often as him, thank ****

(…and here I thought I’d never write a commentary or fan analysis again. Well the last quiet months have been fun…)
Dead on. Batgirl had a lot of anger issues, and some of them involve lashing out.
The difference, I think, is that she comes to realize she’s doing it, and that it’s wrong.
Even if you're at the Dynamite booth can I bring a Batgirl trade to sign?
Yes, absolutely, they don’t have to be Dynamite books. Bring as many books as you like, whatever publisher. Cool?

Baltimore Comic Con!
It took a lot of arranging, but I will be at the Baltimore Comic Con, to give the Keynote speech at the Harvey Awards (yikes!).
I have been asked a bunch of questions, so here we go:
Yes, I will be there for the entire con. I believe I am mostly at he DYNAMITE booth (they helped sponsor my appearance), so that is where you will find me all three days.
I think I have one spotlight panel and one gender panel. Will announce when it’s confirmed…
I am happy to sign anything you bring me, they don’t have to be just Dynamite books. And I am always happy to sign any number of books, there is never a charge for signatures or photos or anything like that.
A lot of people have already asked for scripts and it is a question of timing. I will definitely have Red Sonja and Movement scripts, not sure if I will be able to bring more this time yet or not. I will not be doing reservations, unless there’s a real mitigating reason, okay?
It’s going to be great fun. Hope o see you!
