I can't agree with you more. Exiling her to L.E.G.I.O.N. was the best possible outcome for Tinya. Considering the Bierbaums' hatred for the character, I can't imagine what horrors they would have done to her.

A man of taste, I see.

I think Batman looks his best when he's almost monochromatic. I like the simplicity.

Yeah, it's on my list for this Christmas. Nothing better than dysfunctional Christmas movies...

One of my favorites - love every moment of it!

I think they treated Tinya badly from the end of volume 3 to present day, the animated series not included. She was badly written in Reboot, ignored and then maimed in Threeboot, and suffered mightily in Retroboot. Just a shame, because she's such a good character.

Just a brilliantly good book that has alternately become prophetic and also aged very badly. Chaykin's storytelling was at the top of his game.

First put out some amazingly good comics in the 80's and this was one of them.

I loved the covers in this era of Batman - he looked amazing almost every issue.
