They don't have to be quarantined to the Batverse, and even Morrison used them to tremendously good effect in the larger DCU during his JLA run.CWBuckleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10015226765649457200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392489189136721402.post-47908161574894544172011-03-17T22:45:55.564+00:002011-03-17T22:45:55.564+00:00Good point about the limitations inspired by the t...Good point about the limitations inspired by the truce magic, Chris. Still, I'd like someone to have jumped the cocky sod outside the pub. Hey ho! Despite my moans, I'm grateful to the Bat-office for loaning out The Joker, his presence certainly wrecked the comfort zone, giving our heroes a chance to show what a determined, while honourable, lot they are.<br /><br />You're very welcome, Rob, great to have you along for the ride.<br /><br />I'm with you, Cooldude.

Thanks to the premise established early on in the series, the only tap the heroes could spring was the one option that deprived them of a mortal retaliation.CWBuckleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10015226765649457200noreply@blogger.com
