I’m finally back to try again, although I’ve lowered the bar to just a Quarter Cannonball in the hopes it will be more manageable.

Bats gets a dose of Karma from Shiva

Ras Al Ghul shows up to make veiled hints about things that he is up to and Cassandra gets a mother. Everybody gets beat up and our heroes save the day. Looks like this particular series is going down a magic […]
