Agreed and quoted for truth.

I go to CBR's Marvel sub-forums just to watch all the Marvel zombies wring their hands and dab their eyes with hankerchiefs, constantly posting, "B-b-but Marvel's *got* to DO something, whimper!" Then Stephen Wacker comes in and attacks the posts of every single person who doesn't buy into the "everything-is-fine-and-dandy-with-the-Perlmutter-regime-so-STFU!!" meme. LOL, LMAO.

Ahhhhhh....hours and hours of enjoyment. Never gets old. :-D

Make Mine DC.

Oh I don't know about that. The book is still in a downfall and still hasn't leveled out yet. :-D

Then the bet will be mine! I will win and not have to worry about buying an over hundred dollar book for Bluestreak!!

Simone's Batgirl is doing much, much better than the previous run. And I enjoy the book thoroughly. Besides, Babs is really the only real Batgirl for me.

Still not up to par with Cass's and now it's on par with the previous run's "best" and only going downhill. Again it hasn't stabilized YET like say other DC books have.

99.9% of all comic books drop readers month after month. It's the nature of the business. Batgirl remains one of DC's Top 15 bestsellers each month. I'm not the least bit worried.

I dunno. You should be. It was DC's best selling female title to now third best selling.

...as opposed to Marvel's zero female-led titles. LOL.

I understand your arguments, but still disagree with them. And that's coming from someone who's a big fan of the New 52. Overall, I'm buying more DC titles than I have in years so I'm pretty happy with what I'm buying.

(Just don't get me started on Scott Lobdell...GRRRRR.... :evil:

I'm not talking about Marvel's zero books. I always knew that DC had the superior female heroes.

Just that in some cases DC should do BETTER like give the other Batgirls their due *cough Cassandra Cain and Stephanie Brown*. Their fans want a piece of that pie too!!

What about that rumored new Batbook, The Robins, by Jeff Lemire? Any interest in that?

I was buying 28 or 29 of the New 52. It's back down to 19 at last count.

A slight interest since the Dick, Tim, Damian dynamic is always good. Plus if it gives Tim a better costume (please dear God someone change him back to the outfit To gave him or give him something new!!!) However, what I want is something quite simple. GIVE US THE TWO OTHER FREAKING BATGIRLS DC!! Bette and Babs aren't good enough!! And if you have Tim join in on the pair.. then all the sweeter. It's not hard science. The fanbase craves it. They're the "blue/gold" of the Batverse, but really the Black, Purple, and Red.
