Grimlock ♥ Ultra Magnus

I like the emphasis on friendship and personal life: Batgirl isn't just a hero, and she doesn't sacrifice her whole life for her hero life.   While this can pile on the angst and I can get into that, it's not the only storyline I like - and it wouldn't make sense for Babs.   She's  very open, too much to just shut everyone out, and I like her that way.  

This finishes up the Livewire story arc, and also delved a little deeper into the relationship Babs has with Batman now that she knows her father has taken on that role.  I like how much she plays with it, but, jeez, I think the elder Gordon would start piecing this together!   At first, I thought his whole 'Gotham needs you guys!' speech was just in case someone overheard them, and that he was really trying to keep Babs from being brought in by the police.   That doesn't seem to be the case.   Commissioner Gordon can't tell his own daughter is Batgirl?   Even though he's looked her in the eyes?   I find this unlikely and yet the storyline is presented this way.   

I accepted it quickly the same way I accept that in the age of the interwebs, everyone would know that Clark Kent is superman with glasses.  Glasses, people.   And different hair.     But apparently the whole world has this blind spot, including Superman's enemies.  

Ah, well, you have to accept some things.   This is, apparently one of them.   Given that this is one of my only complaints - I agree with those who say that Babs could armor up a  bit more - I'm okay with this in the end.  I've love for that to be explained, or dealt with, but if it's not (and I'm convinced it won't be) then I'll accept this series for what it is. 

And what it is?   A whole lot of fun, some good action scenes, and a high tech wonderland full of friendship, deep interpersonal connections and some pretty nifty villains to boot.   I'll take it.   It's slick, it's sleek and I love this series!
