    Tamaki seams to really like these stories in wich a female bat-family character is stuck in a prison and needs to excape. First she writes "The Tower" and now we are getting "Barbara Gordon: break-out"

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who remembers her run on Detective Comics. Not to mention, she made Chase Meridian from Batman Forever 1995 canon in DC Comics.

    Her run on detective comics was pretty good. I really liked Dan Mora's art on it more though.

    What I really appreciate about your videos is that you always look beyond the surface level of each comic you cover to present what makes them special. <br><br>So many comic reviewers, are so quick to dismiss commonly believed mediocre and forgettable runs as below them or not worth anaylsising. <br><br>Your reading on tamaki tec being about class/hirachy in Gotham in wealth/money/power and how it takes great advantages of the brief but underrated poor batman status quo from tynion.<br><br>I also feel this run builds on the themes of tynions analysis Gotham as a system that changes itself and it&apos;s people.<br><br>Really the only other thing I would like too see is some dicuss on how the run being analysised could have expanded on it&apos;s thematic points or more successfully executed them

    Awesome video. I’ll check this run out asap. There’s so much Batman it’s easy for runs like this to get lost.

    I liked her Tec run especially her use of Huntress because shes such an underutilized character. I think the biggest &quot;hit&quot; on mariko most ppl go to is that she often uses a self insert character and the fact that the self insert actually looks like her as well is just kinda hilarious. I also tried to like her Zatanna run because i love the character but i just bounced off of it.

    The tower was my favorite part in that omni I had no clue where it was going it was dark &amp; congested awesomeness

    I honestly found it underwhelming. It felt like it lacked an oomf I hope to see in a long term vision for run. I didn&apos;t hate it, but it just never exited me, and when Ram V took over, I was honestly thrilled about his vision for the book

    Another wonderful deconstruct of one of the most over analyzed fictional characters. As always you SELL me hard on the stories and I can’t wait to read them. I love the deeper themes you tap into and it almost makes me mad cause I wish I could’ve seen if I could see those themes on my own. Nonetheless this video was amazing. I personally really liked hearing about the annual. Crazy to see why Bruce handles his rouges the way he does, it’s cause of his papa 🥹<br><br>Good stuff brother!

    Just want to applaud the music in these videos! It makes the video feel much more enjoyable !

    I loved Tamaki&apos;s Tec run and the omnibus. My only gripe is that I wish the Future State stuff was moved to the front of the book.
