Batman Strikes #45 - DC


I think this is another fantastic entry in to the Johnny DC line of books. And this one is an all-chicks issue. The "Gotham Girls". I particularly like the way they portray the young Batgirl in this series. They make her young and hip. Kind of like when she first appeared in the comics . . or on TV. Yes she's fighting for the same things Batman is, but . . she's not so structured and opinionated that she can't show a little compassion when one of her sisters-in-arms is in trouble. She thinks Catwoman and Harley are up to no good, but actually they're trying to figure out how to free Poison Ivy, who's been captured by a cigarette company. She decides to call a truce with the girls and help them free her one-time friend. It's a fun book, and it shows that people can overcome their thoughts or feelings for others to do good . . together. When it comes down to it . . we all accomplish more together. Just think, if the whole world could get that message, what a better place we'd be in.
