stevonicus asked: Have you any opinions on Grant Morrison using a wheelchair-bound Barbara Gordon in the latest issue of Batman Incorporated? As it's set in the future as seen in Batman #666 it's not necessarily guaranteed to happen, but do you have any misgivings over this as it implies Barbara will be recrippled?

I haven’t seen it, but I think we should just admit that Batman, Inc. is really not new52 in any way that is clear. I think the two characters are not connected except by name.

Edited to add: I agree that ‘re-crippled’ is pretty problematic as a term to throw around like that.

  2. iskios said: Recrippled is a bad term, but it would make sense, since the New 52 is a resetting. Plus, it would make sense if something really bad happened and her previous injuries were somehow to reoccur (is that is the right word)
