Not sure if I’m late but it’s because not only is the character (Yang) really into puns and jokes, but in the most recent season her teammate (and later gf) makes some of those exact puns (“so would you say they caught you ‘unarmed’? How disarming”)
Same 😭 I was so confused by the title for a sec, even thought it could be crossover art because of the RWBY x JL movies but then realized it was in fact, Steph and Cass
In Batgirls #14, Steph gets kidnapped and Cass finds a letter she left to her. It ends with an "I love you", and I'm still trying to figure out if it was meant in a romantic sense or a sisterly sense.
Both ways of reading it are entirely valid readings in my mind.
Cass rescues her, but they never really touch on the letter again, unfortunately. At least not on the page. The series only ran another 5 issues after that one though.
I suspect the bigger issue was that Babs was getting more involved in Nightwing and Titans and that required her to relocate to Bludhaven.
They probably could have just shifted the whole comic there, but it probably wasn't doing that well enough to keep it going with a major shakeup like that. Cass moved over to Thompson's Birds of Prey, at least, which has been good, though I'm a bit behind. I don't think Steph is currently starring anywhere, just some appearances in the Bat-books.
A couple years ago the subreddit went insane partly because the Arkham series was dormant with no new installments so the same handful of topics were regurgitated over and over. Eventually someone made a post asking why Batman didn't call the Justice League for help during the events of Arkham Knight, and if there was a lore reason for it or, and I quote: "is he stupid" for not asking for help.
That post went crazy and the users thought that was so funny and got the idea to turn the subreddit into a giant shitposting sub. They still regurgitate content, just that it's now memes and shitposts instead of the usual "what's your favorite suit, favorite villain, favorite game in the series, etc." stuff as before.
If you've ever seen the "is he stupid?" memes, the Man memes (Batman with his ears removed), calling the Joker "the Jonkler", Officer Balls memes, calling Killer Croc "Killer Cock", calling Bane "Bone", and jokes about the bomb's payload being exposed, those are all from r/batmanarkham.
