It was a chance for us to design an event with the same kind of micro-line strategy that informs Absolute and Vertigo. Here's the thing. Everybody has to tie in, but it has an intense, short window. It's a long night. The day has to be saved by the time the sun comes up. It happens in Gotham City. It is immediate, and it affects everybody in the city in different ways and gives all of the amazing creators in the whole Bat-line a chance to do something. It’s a tight two months. -- Matt Fraction

Didn't the Green learn this lesson already? Shouldn't they still know that they wood rue it if they got rid of the animals?

I find it more remarkable that the Green could do this at any time, but needs the permission of the lawfully-elected mayor of the city. It really should try inserting its agents into more political offices.

...whhaaaat the hell was that? Why were they all saying, "Big Boy"?

Croc should be more careful. Plants tend to know how to avoid being eaten.

...is Scarface silent because the Green controls his wooden body?

Took me a while to realise, as well. They're chanting the name of their champion, Big Boy. I think the creators could have made a better job of displaying this.

Oh, and Scarface does speak later. He's just thinkin'.

What about, "Carl"? Honestly, I thought they were all coming on to Batman, calling him Big Boy. Really weirded me out.

Hey, wouldn't you come on to Batman if you got the chance? Especially if there's a chance he's Dick.

Honestly, the 'Big Boy!" chant felt like the realest part of the issue

I repeat my questions from weeks ago:

What is the irony that Tim is taking about? Who's the character that's worried about someone called Freddie?

It's always bothered me when Batman has gone all "Gotham is *my* city, grrr!", and acted like the several million other Gothamites don't get any say on anything.

But if they're going to elect Poison Ivy to public office, well... maybe he's not absolutely wrong.

Are the two parts here sequential?

Just wondering how Batman got his cape back/another one.

Also, wow, he sure is blue here. Any word on that?

I like Waylon being amicable to Batman here. Reminds me of Absolute.

New Batseries, new Batlook.
He's been styling it since the start of Fraction's run.

(pretty sure it's not a knock-on effect of Alfred's extended dereliction of duty starting to impact the laundry.)

You wanna talk weird continuity, following his appearance here, Bullock goes on to tail Dr Zeller into the subway under contract from a biotech firm, where he meets Gordon after he's been to the Arboretum and Arkham. Space is warped and time is bendable.

I blame the constant reboots.
They've turned space and time in the DC universe into a pretzel.

They really should've chosen a different everything-type to avoid this confusion.

He's also dressed slovenly, as Bullock has been depicted while in his home in this current series. It's also weird that Batman chose to give his only spare filters to a random guy he doesn't know, rather than a long-time ally that he can rely on.

Then again, the filters don't seem to be necessary through any other issues of this crossover - a group of kids beat up one of the plant monsters in 'Streets of Gotham' - so I guess it's no loss to lose the filters. The threat level of the plants is definitely inconstant, and I'm really not getting the feeling that this is a city-ending danger. Just get Firefly in there with a flamethrower and we'll have it wrapped up by morning.
