Dismemberment And DC Comics – Detective Comics #1061 Spoilers

During the Death Of The Family storyline in DC Comics' Batman several years ago, writer Scott Snyder was persuaded not to chop off both of Alfred's hands. A few years later, he got his half his wish.

And so Alfred Pennyworth was solo-handed for some time. Though appearances in other comics at the time seemed to have him hiding that hand. Because at some point it was bound to be reversed.

And despite… not exactly a clean wound, and his hand being on ice for weeks – and the stump healing – they were able to reattach it through Gotham medical tech.

Or at least they were able to reattach something. I did feel at the time that this was akin to the X-Men terraforming Mrs, a change that should have world-reaching consequences in DC Comics medicine, but it seemed not. Well, until today, as Gotham Girl takes her revenge.

And using Bat-continuity has an excuse.

She does have a point, right? But just the sort of person for Talia al Ghul to recruit for the Daughters Of The Dragon…
