[QUOTE=Mississippienne] **First Amongst Daves** , I understand that the Batbooks writers are planning to address Ibn (Bruce’s son by Talia) in upcoming books, so stay tuned! [/QUOTE] Ah, Denny O’Neal has retired now, so Batman can actually have sex again. Ibn al-Xuffasch was the best thing to come out of Kingdom Come, IMHO. ---

[QUOTE=First Amongst Daves] Ah, Denny O’Neal has retired now, so Batman can actually have sex again. [/QUOTE] Grant Morrison, who will be writing one of the bat-titles once the current Robinson x-over ends, has promised to restore Batman to a “hairy-chested love God.” Um… Much as I like Morrison, I hope he was kidding or exaggerating when he said that. 😉 (Paul Dini, one of the drivers behind the Animated Series will be writing the other title, if you’re curious. AFAIK, he hasn’t stated his intentions regarding Bruce’s romantic life or body hair.) ---

She’s even a stage magician! [MEET MISTY LEE.](http://www.jinglebelle.com/images/smoky.jpg) [LINK](http://www.jinglebelle.com/news.html) to further details (scroll down). ---

[QUOTE=Mississippienne] The new Catwoman is Selina’s friend Holly Robinson. Whould this be the same friend that got her arm broken by Bruce Wyane on his first trip out in to Gotham before doning the cape and cowl in Batman: Year one? IF so, think Bruceie boy is kinda pissed over her shanking him? ---

[QUOTE=jayjay] Ibn? “What’d you name your son?” “Son!” I find it hard to believe that Ras al-Ghul’s daughter couldn’t pick a real name for her child… [/QUOTE] Well, Ras does always call Batman “detective.” Maybe there’s a tradition of descriptive naming in the al-Ghul household. ---

[QUOTE=pravnik] Well, Ras does always call Batman “detective.” Maybe there’s a tradition of descriptive naming in the al-Ghul household. [/QUOTE] I assumed as much, given the translation of Ra’s’s (?) name. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/pitter-patter-of-little-feet-in-gotham-city/349541.md?page=1)
