Hey, that's also how I usually begin my threads when storytiming a comic no one else wanted to.

>>86264123

glad someone does! I myself am reading all of Rebirth out of company loyalty faggotry.

>>86264123
It was better then the last issue.

I am optimistic that this comic will grow into something great.

>>86264174
I hope so, I have a soft spot for team books, and I love Canary's power.

>>86264168
Alright this page is funny.

>>86264165
wait Jim knows she's Batgirl but not that she was Oracle wat

>>86264168
Canary looks like a tranny hooker in this.

>>86264174
Yeah. Seems like a book that just needs some time.

>>86264140
There has been an absolutly absurd amount of babs in rebirth so far so given how large the field is the writers should be honered that this is my favourite babs page so far.

did the art just get a lot better?

>>86264189
They must have took to heart those complaints about Helena looking too light. Also bringing up Dick already?

>>86264140
> Babs being cool

Wut

>>86264192
I dont think he said he knew who she was.

I do have a problem with gordens portrayal here though.

>>86264225
Huh. Good job getting the trust issues out of the way early!

And thats all she wrote. Remember, support the official release or trade!

>>86264232
Thanks for the Storytime!

>>86264221
he never says those things (notice how he calls her Batgirl next to others, but not when they're alone), but just look at the context, he full-on knows he's talking to Babs, not to Batgirl

>>86264194
Im not /g/ enough to know if shes just spouting bullshit or not but i am /g/ enough to know that if she is its auctualy believable sounding bullshit unlike most of this sort of stuff.

>>86264240
my pleasure friend-o

>>86264210
>a server farm that size
No fucking way she had time time to properly wipe all the data. deletion sure but all the stuff after that she would have had to just blow the place up.

Oh she got the data anyway nevermind i guess.

I think its great when people storytime the lesser stuff because sometimes an issue turns out truely amazing or at least storytimeworthy.

>>86264272
It's comic books written by someone with a poor understanding of tech. Just assume they're using SSDs. Wipe speed per can be measured in seconds.

>>86264231
Yep none of stupid trust angst again

>>86264173
>and....purple person
Ok, I chuckled.

>>86264212
Seems alot better than the first couple of issues. Babs nose still looks a bit weird in some shots but on the whole a huge improvement.

>>86264565
Did Dick not tell Batman about Helena? Thought he would want to know about the purple woman murdering mobsters? It's not like she's shy about mentioning Dick ( teehee).

>>86264598
Batman apparently next page knows her name and all about her suddenly.

>>86264670
Oh yeah the huntress part. But I guess that means that neither he or Dick know that huntress in Spyral Helena.

>>86264598
>>86264670
Either the writers are awful and can't stay consistent or Batman is playing Huntress.
I expect that Dick told Batman basically everything about her.

>>86264691
I actually remembered that in Nightwing rebirth Dick wanted to tell Helena goodbye but she wouldn't see him cause she was wearing her outfit. I don't think Dick or Batman know she became Huntress.

>>86264726
Yeah, I think that's the case. I hope the reveal is a good one, they seem to building to it.

I really liked this issue, and I've really been liking the series. I'm a bit surprised that with a monthly they had to have a backup artist for some finishing work - hope this doesn't foreshadow future difficulties, as I really like Roe's art.

>>86264785
I'm a little torn on the reveal and her and Dick meeting again. As much as I like the book, I think I'd rather have it occur in Nightwing so Seeley could handle it. Bonus points if Marcus to art.

>>86264726
This is Dick Grayson. You really think he wouldn't recognize Helena, in or out of any costume?

>>86264816
Yes but if it's done in BoP we get to see Barbara's face when she figures it out.

>>86264820
But he hasn't seen her in costume yet is all I'm saying

>>86264820
>This is Dick Grayson
No. Not that Dick Grayson. People are clearly talking about main line continuity Dick Grayson.

>>86264834
Dammit now I'm torn between my love for drama and my love for Seeley

This issue gives me renewed hope in this comic. The banter has improved, it fits in time for characters to bond, and Barbara is especially better written compared to last issue.

I liked it. Thanks for the storytime.

>>86264845
This is Dick Grayson as in we're talking about Dick Grayson.
New 52 Dick Grayson figured out Batman's secret identity right after meeting him by reading his body language.


The picture doesn't matter, it's just an example.

>>86264816
Freaking yes. I would love a Marcus To drawn New Huntress! (Of course, I love a Marcus To drawn EVERYTHING).

>>86264834
Ok you won me over this book it is.

Really like how Canary doesn't always take Babs side and tries to be reasonable with Helena. Nobody is incompetent or much better than anyone either which I was scared of with Batgirl in front of he title.

>>86264232
Thank you

>>86264165
Gordon knows, he just doesn't want to admit it, he knows what its like to be batman after all

>>86264934
Me to.

>>86264977
True

>>86264151
Goddamn those Black Canary abs

>>86265500
I love the thick black outlines, and the muscles on the girls!

>>86264140

>maybe you should start hiring women

ha, classic le batgirl

>book starts getting more /co/mblr
>/co/ starts liking it

>>86265913
Um, dude, Birds of Prey has always been Girl Power-tastic - what do you want from it? From Dixon onwards.

>>86264213
They brought him up in the first issue

>>86266191
Dixon's a conservative, he didn't write a bunch of insecure "this is because I'm a girl" dialogue. I don't believe Simone did either.

>>86265913
>single throwaway gag from batgirl about hiring women
>tumblr

>>86267070
The conversation with Jim as well.

>>86264820
Dick can't even tell that his partner in the Owls is playing him. He knows nothing

>>86264136
>He'll live

>But you'll stay scared, won't you, punk?

>>86264900
Higgins changed that the next time he wrote Dick's origin to Bruce telling him.

>>86264232
Thank you so much

>>86264189
Aww good bonding. Also why not mention Dick? Also when did a canary meet him?

>>86264248
It reads exactly like a dad lecturing his daughter

>>86266964
I don't read this as insecure, either. Some of the stuff in today's Superwoman was edging on /co/mblr-style philosophical framework (much as the "toxic ideas about masculinity" two weeks ago for Wondygal, much as I'm loving that title), but this one just felt like a modern, fun, tv-style story and characters.

>>86264232
They're 20 feet away, what the fuck does he need binoculars for?

When is this story supposed to take place, in regard to Green Arrow's current run?

Is Huntress now a nigger?

>>86268947
Maybe. Babs is mad at him?

>>86270799
Where have you been for two years?

>>86264140

so Batgirl doesn't have the same hangups about using guns that Bruce does?

>>86264165

okay he has to know its Barbara

>>86271565
Of course not. I mean her dads a cop

>>86264232
Is that Lady Viper? These writers did their research.

>>86272064
Yes it is

>>86272064
The writers have family longboxes they love to read.

>>86264173
Something about Batmans face in that last panel is hilarious.

>>86264162
>that nose
I thought huntress was italian?

>>86264176
bats' expression is great here, even if some of the other faces have been wonky

When is huntress gonna rub her making out with Dick in Babs face. We need more of that and less girl bonding

>>86276978
Gross anon.

>>86267647
That had nothing to do with gender jim just builds up batman in his head to much.
I do think jim was poorly written there though.

This is actually pretty fun, it's not like Dixon and Simone were untouchable masterpieces, and I remember New52 BoP being pretty fucking terrible, this is definetively an improvement, nice banter, this arc is a bit dull tho.

New Helena is such an improvement over old Helena. I actually like how she can be competent but reasonable. I Washington Suárez for her after Grayson

>>86280163
Oops. Was scared. Keys freaked out.

>>86268947
Didn't she meet him in the first BOP?

>>86264125
Babs head looks huge

>>86268947
This is post-Rebirth, anon.
Dinah and Babs are best friends again.
Older stories are back in continuity.
Dick is "the guy" for Batgirl again. Of course Black Canary is gonna know him.

>>86281455
Oh ok then. Well why not mention the guy? Jealousy???

>>86281802
Obviously. Do you know nothing about women?

>>86281802
This is set shortly after Barbara bitched Dick out for working with Raptor. She's still pissed off at him, it seems.

>>86283415
Lol. I usually don't pay attention to relationship drama.
>>86283489

Oh so that's when it's set? And Batgirl is after both of those? The timeline is so confusing.
