   There was a Batwoman in the late 50s / early 60s with a Batgirl sidekick. Then there was a later Batgirl, Barbara Gordon, in the comics and television show. Then things got crazy with Helena Bertinelli, Cassandra Cain, Charlotte Gage-Radcliffe, Stephanie Brown, and Barbara Gordon again.

   It would take a scorecard to keep track of who was a Batgirl and who a Batwoman in that crowd, and I was too cheap to spring for a program when I arrived.

   Spiderman’s did rip and tear. In one fairly early issue he had to go to a costume shop and buy a cheap version. Lousy elastic. He had to use webbing to hold it together.

   However, it was established long ago, at the start of the arc, that the culture did not have bows and arrows – someone gazed in wonder when Tarzan used one. He taught the man how to use them… And they were never heard from again (even in the encounter with the frog people).

   My comment is strictly on the incongruity of a culture with fairly high standards of weapon technology lacking something that has been around for 10,000+ years.

   Is bow-and-arrow tech going to come in at the end of this arc when Tarzan’s friend – from a warring city – arrives to save him or has the silly idea, that was never well thought out anyway, been dropped completely?

   (But, I’ll agree with you, without the identification in the strip itself it would have been hard to tell.)

   I didn’t say she was Batgirl. The tag-line for the show was “Same Bat-time, same Bat-channel.” The strip clearly identifies her as Catwoman, but even when the lovely Julie Newmar appeared in the role the tagline was “Same Bat-time, same Bat-channel.”

   I’m not sure if living a block over from Miles and Kevin qualifies as Kimmie as a street kid.

   She’s more of a low-level tech wiz, but she appreciates good workmanship from a tech marvel.

   You got to wonder about the costume shops that outfit the superheros…

   Of course, the heroes have to pay by cash, can’t have your name on the charge card or check. Either that or somewhere there is a tailor who knows the secret identities of pretty much everyone.

    The CEO is usually the target. Being African-American stabbing him in the back would be viewed, according to the Legal Department as an act of discrimination.

    However, if you feel a desperate need to stab someone in the back doing it to yourself frees the company, and yourself, from any legal liability.
