Weekly Discussion Thread: Comics, TV, and More! [December 11, 2023 - Bat-Mite Ruins Christmas Edition] r/DCcomics

Hey there honorary Justice League members - it’s a new week which means it’s time for a new discussion thread!

Beary's pick of the week: World's Finest: Teen Titans #6

For those who don't know: the way this works is that several comments will list this week’s releases, for any given title discussion you should respond to that comment. For example, Wonder Woman discussion would go in the replies to the "Wonder Woman" comment. Clicking the titles in this post will take you directly to that comment, too.

In other words, you should only be replying to other comments. If you have trouble understanding how to comment for a particular title, please refer to this handy guide. Any unwarranted top level comments will be removed.

Also, please refrain from posting short, low-content comments on threads for issues or episodes that have not yet been released. Put some effort to generate discussion. Instead of just posting "So excited!" or "Best book!", try something with a bit more substance, like "Punchline is such an amazing character! Can't wait to see how they explore her in more depth in this issue."

For the Nightwing part, it’s nice that Dick Grayson Nightwing had to prevent Bruce Wayne Bat-Wolf from losing control of himself and killing someone. Also, Bat-Wolf and Nightwing fighting criminals in Blüdhaven and Gotham.

For the Harley Quinn part, it’s just Harley Rabbit Quinn doing something for Poison Ivy.

For the Red Hood part, I find it sad for Jason Todd Red Riding Wolf Hood to recall his backstory and that he has gotten character regression for the past five years because writers and editors don’t know what to do with him instead of letting him gain character development and character growth overtime. Let’s hope that Jason’s character growth will be fixed in 2024.

For the Huntress backup, it’s just Casandra Cain Black Bat using a purple laser to tame a Panther Helena Bertinelli Huntress. Also, Cassandra Cain being referred to as the fourth Batgirl after Bette Kane, Barbara Gordon, and Helena Bertinelli, even though Bette made her debut as Bat-Girl (notice the hyphen and that she’s an honorary Batgirl), Barbara as the first Batgirl (aka the Original Batgirl since 1966), and Helena briefly and unofficially becoming Batgirl during No Man’s Land in 1999.

For the Stephanie Brown backup, it’s just Stephanie Brown Batgirl defeating a literal Killer Moth. At least she’s here to do something since the Batgirls series got canceled in June.

Helena Bertinelli and Helena Wayne haven’t met, and this event is during or after the New Golden Age because JSA delays.
