		The daily comic strip's four or five panels and fl-and-white format as opposed to the Sunday comics' twelve color panels was the first of many thematic and aesthetic innovations that fed the popularity of strips.

	Detective Comics #817 - PopMatters Comic Book Review
		James Gordon is once again Commissioner of Gotham City (for the third time according to his narrative), and Detective Harvey Bollock is back on the case solving murders in Gotham.
		He may be telling Gordon how much he missed him and how he's glad to be back, but Batman still is all about business and doesn't appear phased when a young officer tells him how she idolizes him.
		The relationship between Batman and Gordon is one of friendship, and reminds me somewhat of the relationship between the two at the end of the film Batman Begins or even classic comic stories such as Batman: Year One, The Long Halloween and Dark Victory.

	Batgirl vs Oracle
		Her arrival in both the comics and the original Batman television series was ground breaking.
		While Batman was created by the murder of his parents and a dark obsession with vengeance, Barbara Gordon became Batgirl out of her own raw instinct to fight crime and the dream of one day becoming a superhero.
		While comics are indeed supposed to simulate real life, both joy and pain, I think DC should have left Barbara Gordon the way she was originally created.

	Batman: Turning Points #1 Review - Silver Bullet Comics
		This meeting between the pair shows Gordon remarkably open-minded and even encouraging in his attitude towards Batman, which ties in with their (almost) meeting at the end of Year One, but rankles a little given the confrontation between the two at the end of the book.
		Batman is given his chance, the meeting ends as you'd expect (with Batman vanishing whilst Gordon is still talking), and the hostage situation resolved - although you feel for the perp, driven off the deep end by the death of his wife and young son in a car crash earlier that day.
		You'd maybe expect Gordon to take a little solace by the issue's end in that whilst the subplot in this issue is his wife taking their son and moving to Chicago, at least they are still alive and hope therefore exists of a reconciliation.

		Recently in his IGN Comics column, Fearless Fred Hembeck was writing about the debut of the Batman TV show in 1966, and how back then he used to keep his comics reading habit a secret inasmuch as "reading funnybooks at age thirteen was definitely NOT a cool move" (see "The Fred Hembeck Show: Episode 11").

		India has a decent comics industry (or did), yet most of them that I’ve seen are religious, dealing with the adventures of Krishna and the like.
		Comics are not going away, no matter how hard times have been for the industry.

	Gotham Central #1-2 -- In the Line of Duty - PopMatters Comic Book Review
		In recent years the mainstream comic book publishers have tried to branch out beyond the capes and tights superhero genre that the industry is built on -- DC/VERTIGO and Marvel MAX are perfect examples of this -- but we fanboys don't want it.
		For years, through TV, movies and comics, we've seen the almost father-son relationship between Commissioner James Gordon and Batman blossom.
		This is what I've always wondered about Jim Gordon and now DC has finally decided to publish a comic about the GCPD, but with Gordon gone it's too little too late.
