Batgirl #5 Brings Us "Occupy Gotham"

I've given the thirteen-or-so thoughts of the week's DC Comics a bit of a break for now. It was doing my head in, and I was reading too many comics that I just didn't like, which is never good for the soul.

But if I was still doing them, then this scene from this week's Batgirl would certainly have made it in. In the light of the Occupy protests, we've joked about the idea of that extending to fictional cities, such as Occupy Gotham or Occupy Metropolis. A Comic Shop in Florida even went with a mocking advert, cheekily co-funded by DC Comics.

But only one person has made it actual continuity. Gail Simone, and today's Batgirl #5, a comic about crime, property and a new supervillain called Gretel.
