Is anyone else surprised by how much they like Bane here?
I've actually never minded the character and think he's become a very welcome, fresh addition to the Batman gallery of villains. But he was quickly approaching "product of his time" problems until Gail came along and just made him awesome, yet still creepy and weird.
Speaking of weird, Ragdoll's weirdness is so off the wall that you can almost see Gail grinning evilly when she writes his dialogue.

New issue, ooooohhhh...violent Catman. Good issue, Catman has sure come a long way over the last few years.

As much as you want Catman to be a hero, his ruthlessness makes that just not possible. Not that we don't feel for the guy, and anyone of us in his shoes would likely act the same. He'll never be a good guy, but he's definitely someone you want to root for.
Deadshot's comment about Tom/Blake was a little revealing. When you've got Floyd worried, how far round the bend have you gone?
As for Bane's new crew, I wouldn't mind seeing them stick around, maybe be the occasional competition for the S6.

Deathstorke dhould have been written more like this over the years. Catman now owns him in the coolest badass villian category.

#21 continues to remind us how badass Catman has become. Great issue--I've said this so many times I'm like a broken record, but I love the Scandal / Catman / Deadshot / Ragdoll 'core' group, and I like that being played up here. Between Scandal, Deadshot and Catman any one of them could go a murderous rampage at any time and the other two will back them up yet be concerned.
Love that Catman didn't give Loki what he was expecting and essentially slaughtered him like his father wanted him to slaughter the jungle cat of his youth.
Looking forward to Dwarfstar's eventual murder and I'm wondering who will get to do it? My money is on Scandal but Gail isn't that obvious.
I hope Giganta sticks around and Killer Shark too.

So, I caved and tracked down the latest story arc. It's much darker than I expected from the BoP/S6 crossover a few years back. Still, I really liked it. I'm a little sorry I didn't wait, though. I think Ragdoll's scene in #22 would have had more impact if I'd read the earlier stuff first.
Now, if my trades would ever arrive...

'doll has had the least developement of the core four. But now we know it was all part of Gail's plan.
