If there was a clear reason for her actions being the result of PTSD or another cause=effect that was explained or shown better, I might have a better opinion of her. As is, it just seems like bad characterization and, well put, not what we were expecting at all. Emperor Nerd: Yay, I happily recommend that title and Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane to younger girls who come in to the store, so some of us believe in younger reader geared books. Tim O'Shea: Greg Evigan owes me BIG TIME. =) And I'd have to give the Paul Reiser role to Superman, Batman easily the 'cool dad' of the two that is seen more with New Kara that the Blue Boy Scout. kate: Yeah.

Every reference to it makes him forget BJ and the Bear a little more. Seriously though, the Superman/Batman oops Batman/Superman as My Two Dads is a classic comparison. Now the question is, which one is Reiser--Bats or Supes? Greg Evigan thanks you for the reference to My Two Dads. Every reference to it makes him forget BJ and the Bear a little more.

Why has Kara bothered me since her first appearance in Superman/Batman (and, on a tangent, why is it Superman/Batman? Why isn’t it Batman/Superman? It’s alphabetical.) Is it the waifish body type that only Michael ‘Get these girls a sandwich’ Turner can provide?

Supergirl, at least the Supergirl in Legion right now, could be a great 8+ book. Unfortunately DC believes, rightly or wrongly, that real all ages comics don’t sell.

(This feeling has occasionally risen in other issues, but not so strongly.) If she'd started cutting herself, it would have totally been in character. (I work (sometimes) with adolescents with some Issues, so I'm not sneering at this version of Supergirl or something. It's just not at all what most people are expecting out of her, and I think that's a big part of the reason why.) At least in #9, I could’ve sworn I was reading about an adolescent with PTSD.
