Our voices echo, magnifying your arrival. New statue.

I was going to write up a long post, full of angry ranting about the glorification of the male child we see everywhere in society still and especially in comics like, oh say, Batman's entire run and Green Arrow/Black Canary #4 and the recent Green Lantern arc that was like a celebration of the familial XY chromosome, all to lead up to me saying I'm pleased with the much talked about panel in Batman 673. But really it comes down to this:

In his mind, Batman mourns the loss of his daughters as much as the loss of his sons.

Not only does that present a Batman I can hold up as a hero but it also appeases me on behalf of Stephanie Brown and Cassandra Cain and Barbara Gordon.
