P.S. Since I myself am one-quarter Italian, that is one of the four ethnic groups that I am ethically permitted to stereotype. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to go eat a plate of spaghetti, play a few games of bocce and maybe see what all my mob friends are up to tonight.
I mean, I kind of like the notion of Morrison adding her to the team, but in that group of 14, she just seemed pretty useless.
She wasn't there because she had some one-of-a-kind talent like the Flash or Zatanna. Batman put her there to help her grow as a hero, where the League could inspire her in a way Batman can't.
And, lamest ever? Not Geo-Force, or Red Arrow, or Vixen?
Huntress with the Question in JLU is my all-time favorite superhero relationship. Which reminds me, you should do something for Ice Cream Social about the Question discovering the 32nd flavor.
Like sallyp sais: thanks for putting clothes on her. I mean, most of her costumes haven't been any good or made any sense (she seems to suffer from a lingering case of 90s-itis), but it's much better when what she's wearing covers her stomach, thighs, etc.
It's one thing for Power Girl or Supergirl or Wonder Woman to parade around in skivvies-- but Huntress is not at all invulnerable and is constantly getting into knife fights, jumping onto rooftops with who knows how many rusty nails and broken beer bottles, getting dragged from motorcycles, etc. It doesn't make any more sense for her to be half-naked than it would for Batman.

Heh, I have a Detective comic where Batman teamed up with Devin Grayson's Mary Sue, the Tarantula, and they go down into the sewers to fight a plague/cockroach monster. Tarantula asks Batman if they're safe from infection, and he responds "Well, I'm not half-naked."

ReplyDeleteIt's ok, she probably likes gelato, everybody likes gelato. Except Superman. It's "too rich" for him.
ReplyDeletewell that just sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteLamest leaguer ever!

Ah, but that's the point. If you assemble a team of gods, you need at least one human around for perspective.
ReplyDeleteAlso: SUPER EXCITED THE ICE CREAM SOCIAL IS BACK

or G'nort?
ReplyDeleteI think Morrison probably snuck her in because in his mind, she's still Batman's daughter.
ReplyDeleteBut she was a member in the JLI days too. AND a pretty rockin' member of Justice League Unlimited.
I loved her with the Question!
Hey, I like Huntress! She's just blossemed with the Birds of Prey. And thank you, Caleb for drawing her with her tummy covered.
