'Cause there she is in the latest issue, go see for yourself!
You just GOTTA love Gail Simone for bringing in Karen!
She and Geoff Johns are part of a new stable of comics writers THAT RESPECT ALL ERAS of the comics. We need more like them.

Let's hope Mark Waid finds a way to do that with the new Legion. Though it might be an impossible task. *sigh*

I think I made it pretty clear that I dislike Wolfman's notions about the TEEN TITANS.
I ain't no fan of CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS either.

I can somewhat agree AND disagree with that statement.
For example, Babs is still Oracle and not running around as Batgirl again.

I love Babs as Oracle, but I would love to see her as Batgirl again.
Oh, and Dick and Babs really, really need to get back together again.
Some people are like slinkys: not really good for anything, but they bring a smile to your face when you knock them down a flight of stairs

I don't see why whatever they did to fix Bruce's back can't be applied to Babs. Oh, Gaaaaaaaillllll...!

For example, Babs is still Oracle and not running around as Batgirl again. She was crippled in the 1980s. That's not recent. And she was revealed to be Oracle in Suicide Squad #38 (dated Feb 1990, which probably means it was released in Dec '89), after Oracle had first "appeared" in SS 23. Again, certainly not recent.

If Johns and Simone don't show much love for recent happenings in comics, it might be because there isn't much TO love.

I *will* say that the 90s were a partiularly crappy time for comics in general. We lost a LOT of readers during that decade to an oversaturation of substandard storytelling and less-than-inspired artwork. And a lack of fun.

Hey! Why's this thread going off on a tangent? We should be talking about the beautiful Bumblebee!
While it was great seeing Karen in the latest few issues of BoP (even if Gail did do a major boo-boo by classifying her and Flamebird as meta-humans!) I'm not in a hurry to see her join that book full-time. I REALLY REALLY REALLY want to see Vixen become the fourth full-time Bird of Prey and besides, Bumblebee is already slated to become part of a team-book next year.
For those who haven't heard - Geoff Johns has confirmed that Bumblebee will be joining the Teen Titans sometime soonish! And with Karen also becoming a regular on the Teen Titans cartoon next season it looks like 2005 is going to be the year of the Bumblebee! WOO-HOO!!!
(I just hope Mal also gets some love and respect and attention in all this and isn't killed off to give Karen some un-needed angst! That would be a major UGH!)

I honestly can't picture Geoff killing off Mal.

Me neither MLLASH but I just know that Judd Winnick will be wanting to off some cannon-fodder in another hack-written death a la Lilith at some point. I won't sleep easy until that man is fired from DC.

I rather like his GREEN ARROW and OUTSIDERS, but HATED Lilith's poorly-written death! Absolute trash.
I'm still stunned that Bumblebee is coming back... Karen deserves it. She's a DC "first".

She's pretty cool, and her powers are so neat.
And to show I bear no ill will, I, too, shall bestow a gift...

I hope she can still shoot honey out of those things strapped to her ass! I loved that!

![[Linked Image]](http://www.titanstower.com/assets/homeimages/bumble.jpg) I don't watch the show, but apparently this is Karen as she'll appear in an upcoming cameo.
