My HOPE is that Harvey is being saved so he can be the focal point of his own movie rather than just being a secondary character and pawn in some other villain’s scheme. But I also don’t trust anybody to take the character seriously enough to make that happen. I remember when that was supposed to be the plan for Nolan’s “Batman Begins” sequels, that Part 2 would be the fall of Harvey and Part 3 would be the rise of Two-Face. Like, yeah, the Joker would still be involved, but at least he’d have his own movie!

Obviously, no one knows what Reeves’ plans are, assuming this gets a sequel (and it probably will, it’s Batman, it’ll be successful enough). Any plans he has are subject to change, and I’ve been burned (ha) too many times by writer treating Harvey as an afterthought to expect much.

probably sobble

Honestly, I can see the anger at Disney literally crowding out everyone else from theaters to shove their movies down audience’s throats for months at a time, but that’s not specifically a Marvel issue (Star Wars and live-action remakes like Maleficent are even worse offenders; at least the shared universe thing is a novel twist on movie franchising) and doesn’t really affect the quality of a movie itself.

oooh wink wonk this is interesting

- jinx thought beast boy was ridiculous the first time she saw him. beast boy thought she was gorgeous. horrendously evil, but gorgeous. 

- after the whole Thing that made her switch to the Good Guy side they spent more time together bc,,,, titans 

- sometimes she laughs at beast boy’s jokes and he just beams

- pink and green actually go very well together and don’t think this is lost on jinx because it very much isn’t 

- they go on a mission together, incognito into like a prom night and they match. so well. her dress is ruined by the end of the night bc fighting but she also destroyed the villain who ruined her dress so it’s ok

- beast boy gives her all sorts of random candy. it’s usually never chocolate, but chocolate isn’t her favorite, anyway. she likes kicking ass with a lollipop in her mouth, and always gets pissed whenever a villain knocks it out.

- jinx is literally the embodiment of “only I get to insult him like that” with exceptions for the og titans and some other people bcuz they’re basically his family too

I only had a chance to skim it, but even that was enough to make me want to buy the trade when it comes out. From what I can tell, this is not only the best Harley story I’ve read in recent memory, but it’s also the true successor to “Mad Love.”

On top of that, Harvey Dent is used in a crucial and fascinating way, despite some shortcomings which would have bothered me more in a lesser story, but which WORKED here. The whole thing feels more like great, thoughtful fanfic than a standard DC Comic, and I mean that as a huge compliment. It blows every other DC Black Label comic out of the water in terms of care and quality of story, character, ideas, and humanity.

i can’t git gud and suck at making a proper comp team so i don’t care too much

but it’l be refreshing to see teams made that aren’t just “hey here’s the perfect IV team i made like 5 games ago and refuse to use anything else” or “hey here’s a team of 6 legendaries”.. it’s both an issue with comp battling AND for-fun one-off battles, at least in my opinion
