I didn't plan it, but between writing this one and the last, the casting of Robert Pattinson as the new Batman was first rumored--it still hasn't happened as far as I know, yet some people are complaining like they've already seen it and hated it. I can't say he would've been my first choice, but wouldn't he be a much younger Batman than we've seen in some time? Maybe ever. Off the top of my head, I seem to recall one decent action scene from Affeck in like two-and-a-half movies; maybe they can get more out of Pattinson. And he's done better stuff since his Twilight days, so why not? Anyway, it happened to give Gambit a motivation for stealing the Batmobile besides "because it's coooooool."
As I write this part, the last episode of Game of Thrones is tonight, and there's a small-but-vocal contingent of fans--for certain values of 'fans'--pushing a petition for a do-over on this last season, since they didn't like how it's gone. Yeah, signing a petition but not fronting any of the millions it would take to re-do even an episode. (They aren't fronting money, are they? That would admittedly be putting their money where their mouth is, but also seems like a great way to get taken.) I know someone on Twitter suggested, if you don't like the ending, just write some fanfic like everybody else. It's easy to feel invested after watching so many hours of something, but what were the odds it was going to end the way you wanted it to? I seem to recall George R.R. Martin being pretty upfront about fields of graves...
Felicia and Sat have been teamed-up here since 2014? That can't be right! And we haven't seen Sat's cape since 2013--in the strips, anyway, I know exactly where that is. For a change. Felicia's photo of her dad was the MacGuffin in our Jessica Jones storyline, but here Gambit just took it to show her up. The chair, on the other hand...

Wait...she has a CAPE?
Wow. Didn't expect Gambit, that's a cool surprise. So many possible t-shirt-worthy quotes here, like "I feel like an Animaniac" and "We speak English here in America, not Google Translate." Love it.
You know I don't know why it never occurred to me that the Black Cat and Gambit could be potential rivals in the world of thievery, but it seems like a natural thing now that I see it being played out. Funny because I remember them teaming-up in an issue of Web of Spider-Man (#113?) and there was no hint there of a rivalry, friendly or otherwise.
Did Gambit steal EVERYTHING? because it looks to me like Kurt and 'Pool's stuff was stolen too, especially their chair. He better hope they don't find out about that.
Wow, Cat has a terrible ear for accents. Cajun sounds almost nothing like French (at least to me). Hope they locked the Spider-Mobile up.
On the subject of accents, anybody else read Sat as having a Russian accent?
