IMPORTANT UPDATE FOR BATMAN AND ROBIN (2023) FANS!!!...he eat a burger [ID in alt]

(taken from Nicola Cizmesija's insta, who's on art for B&R issues #5 and #6)

#ramblings of a lunatic #batman and robin #damian wayne #dc comics #''ladel are you gonna get obsessive about the character again and hunt down any and all official art of them-'' no what makes u say that #nikola cizmesija was the artist on the recent red hood gotham wars tie-ins btw! same colourist as those issues too #...idk how much dc tumblr is actually in to the production side of comics. i know i am but i have a feeling that's not universal #anyway i actually really like to know the individual artists colourists and inkers on stuff if i can it's fun! #anyway i quite liked the art in those red hood issues so i am :] excited for issues 5 and 6! #there was also a cover(?) defs done by cizmesija that has damian and bruce in like underwater batsuits? like they're wet suits #and they're fighting orca on it! and cizmesija mentioned getting to design new suits so! it seems like we're getting an underwater adventure #for that arc at least! the writer joshua williamson said that he's trying to focus the structure more around shorter arcs this time #so it seems like in the shorter breather arcs we might get little artist changes to break it up?? neat imo #i like a book w consistent art if I'm really vibing w the art but i get that a lot of ppl have mixed feelings on di meos art for b&r #so I'm interested to see what the reception will be to cizmesijas when it comes out in...i think January? same month as the annual #i saw a solicit that said the art for the annual was by Howard Porter but i could be wrong #god this got way off track. ANYWAY! he eat a burger #(also williamson has said before that damians a vegetarian so I'm assuming it's a veggie burger)

The Fall and Rise of Orca: Orca Joins a Furry Gang Part 2

Warning: This post contains spoilers for Batman & Robin Vol 3 Issue #5 "School Daze."

Note: I missed a bit of info in Issue #4 that Damian suspected his school principal to be Shush, formerly Mistress Harsh, one of the trainers for him when he was being raised by his mother with the League of Assassins.

And now, back to our story already in progress:

Batman and Damian caught up with Orca, hoping to gain more information regarding Man-Bat's plans, though she was anything but cooperative, fearing Man-Bat's wrath should she give anything away:

Okay, so apparently Orca being able to breathe and speak underwater is still a thing. I'll chalk it up to a parting gift from the late Lord Chondrakha/Kamo for helping out his son over in the King Shark miniseries until and unless another explanation is given. Her leaping and smashing abilities however are much more in line with what we've seen before.

Interestingly, this the first time Batman has used a variation on the famous "Let Me Help You!" line on Orca. Which I thought would've happened much sooner in either the New Earth or Rebirth continuities, but still. XD I personally think a fight between Orca and Man-Bat would be much more evenly matched than she realizes, though it would depend on the given terrain and other circumstances.

The fight ended shortly due to Daman's quick thinking and Orca was left to be arrested:

I know last time she got fried by sound waves, but insert your "two nickels, weird that it happened twice" meme here. Also, thank you, Batman, for saying that about Orca being better than this, because it sure seems like the writer didn't. Ugh, more self pitying backsliding. I get so tired of seeing it because it's very shallow: it doesn't go into the real roots of her poor self esteem and it feels like whatever progress she makes falls by the wayside as a result in order to keep her in the position of sniveling goon. It's fine if they want her to remain a villain, but there has to be more going on then "poor me" for Orca to feel like an actual developed character. Also is this how she ended up in jail during the Punchline backup over in the Joker book? I don't know and it seems like the writers don't care to give any conclusion to that plot thread.

I'm really hoping this isn't the end of Orca's involvement in this storyline because it would just be another example of the writer not planning ahead, getting bored and rushing things. If you as the writer don't give care about you've set up, you can't expect your readers to either.

If Orca shows up again in this book, I'll make a part three. If not, I have a certain clip waiting to be used.

Bonus: Variant cover art for Issue #5 by artist Nikola Cizmesija:

Kamandi #23 (November, 1974).  Written and drawn by Jack Kirby, inked and letters by D. Bruce Berry.

I just read an article this morning about how there have been several documented incidents of orcas attacking - and in at least 3 cases, sinking - boats off the Iberian Peninsula.

Now, I’m not pointing fingers or anything, but I think the authorities oughtta have a word with Goliath the angry orca here.  Just saying.

Plus, Kamandi is stoopid.  That’s quite obviously NOT a cow, holy or otherwise.

Okay, so Batman & Robin Vol 3 Issue #4 can fuck right off. Spoilers ahead.

I wasn't mad that I was wrong about Man-Bat's identity as he is actually Kirk Langstrom back from the dead. I got mad when he revealed his plan: he wants to take over Batman's role as Gotham's guardian by eliminating his competition. Now if this were Pre-Crisis Kirk that would make sense because that version of the character did want to be a hero like Batman and played stupid bat science games to win tragic monster stupid prizes. Now if it was that version, this would be potentially interesting, but I doubt the writer is smart enough to do that.

What also frustrated me is that any tension has been removed from the story: Batman overcame the pheromone problem via sheer willpower, White Rabbit managed to kick all of the Terrible Trio's asses with no effort, Dr. Kafira turned out to have only been injected with a truth serum that also removed his memory of what he and Kirk once worked on together and I still don't give a fuck about Shush's involvement, especially now. Orca and Croc were literally just there as dumb muscle according to Man-Bat, so that's great. Ugh.

Sigh. I don't know where the story is going and not in a good way. Now I REALLY am only there for Orca's involvement, because if the writer doesn't care to sustain plot threads, why should I care about them?
