In reply to Marisa @ Dreaming Out Loud. Yes! Exactly! Gotham seems like THE WORST PLACE. I used to think the DC movies were exaggerating how terrible everyone thinks Gotham is, but no, it's terrible, it's a war zone.

In reply to Kailana. I do too! I think if there were a DC Unlimited I'd at least try it out and get a feel for the world. I wonder if they have something like that in the works -- it seems insane not to!

In reply to Stefanie@SoManyBooks. Hahhaha, I'll try to do better in future. I really feel that there are the perfect DC comics for me lurking somewhere out there, and I'm determined to find them this year.

In reply to Shivaun. I can't remember if I thanked you on Twitter for this but thank you SO MUCH for this run-down! I am taking it all into account as I move forward with my grand DC experiment.

“But you know that perception that like, Marvel has the jokes, DC has the grimdark? Reading Batgirl did not shift that perception for me.”

Not that I’ve read a lot of DC, but I haven’t encountered enough to shift that perception for me, either. Maybe Batgirl of Burnside… it’s like, I may still want to live in Marvel’s NY, but I would never want to even visit Gotham. Ever.

I second Shivaun’s rec of the Stephanie Brown!Batgirl, and I also remember Blue Beetle being a fun, lighter series (the run where Jaime Reyes is Blue Beetle.)

I was thinking you would convince me to try DC comics but so far it’s a nope. I do really like the shirt though 🙂
