Secret Six is such a great series. More people need to be aware of it.

[@randallflagg3700]

It's a great series, one of my favorite Gail Simone titles alongside "Birds of Prey" and "Villains United"... my only little (and probably unpopular) issue with it is that they made Catman a little _too_ cool. I fell in love with Catman thanks to *Batman: The Brave and the Bold* , in particular in the episode "Legends of the Dark Mite!" (written by Paul Dini) In *Secret Six* , I thought that taking the loser Catman from Brad Meltzer's *Green Arrow* run and having him turn his life around was a neat idea, but he just became waaaay too cool & strong, even having an even fight with Batman at some point. Fought Batgirl (Babs) to a draw. Beat Huntress. Had all the chicks (and some dudes) fawning over him. Scandal Savage & Knockout literally want his babies because of his awesome genes... Yeah, he was a bit too OP in every area for my taste. (Still a great run, the villain "Junior" was legit terrifying...)

[@randallflagg3700]

@@SerialAnkleBiter - Not sure what you meant, that the one that OP talked about, the Arrowverse Ragdoll, was the father of the Matsudaverse Doll? In any case, in this context, I was referencing the same Ragdoll as OP did; Peter Merkel from the Arrowverse. (Gail Simone created Peter Merkell Jr and his sister, the sinister Junior, one of DC's creepiest villains IMHO, after ) Ragdoll from *The Batman* is an interesting case, since his first episode ("Ragdolls to Riches" written by Adam Beechen) aired the same month of the same year as Gail Simone's *Villains United* , which introduced Peter Jr, was released. We don't know which one it is in the show, but he does seem to have the son's playful demeanor... Beechen and Simone might have had a talk while writting the episodes/issues? I also realize that the Ragdoll from *The Flash* is difficult to pin-point, since his father is implied to be the OG Ragdoll, but unlike the Ragdoll Jr that Gail Simone made popular, he is also a metahuman, gaining powers when his body was crushed by shrapnels from the STAR labs satellite that The Thinker crashed on Central City. Peter Jr wasn't a meta-human despite his father being one (the main reason why Ragdoll Sr hated his 2 kids so much), all his "powers" come from high-end body-modifications, that I assume someone like Professor Pyg, Hush or the Dollmaker did for him. Anyway, I wish we could have seen more live action Ragdoll in the Arrowverse, a mini-arc in *Arrow* (since the Flash is just to OP for Peter to handle) in which the terrifying Junior also pops up would have been great.

[@Goblin_deez.]

At no point would I have considered Gotham 'Belonging' to Batman. It's a very interesting term 'Belonging' and even more so that an intellectual such as Bane would use those words. It's almost as though to the eye of the villains and maybe even civilians that Batman is just another Gangster, another power-hungry Crime Lord of sorts and who 'owns this town'. Mess with Batman? He'll send his Robins after you! Now just flip that sentiment with any other villain and their goons. It's changed my perspective.

[@Elfenlied8675309]

I don't know if you've ever read Bane's first appearance in "Knightfall" Where Batman gets his back broken but Bane only goes to Gotham to kill Batman because one of his henchmen tell him that Gotham is the ultimate city in the world. So Bane asks "Who is the strongest person in this city?" and his henchman tells his "The Batman." Bane eventually announces to Gotham "I have destroyed Batman. I rule the streets, and I rule Gotham. This city is mine!" Bane having been raised in prison only has a mindset that the strongest person gets to be in charge, so he believed by rule of strength Batman "Owned" Gotham and then he did by defeating Batman. It's an extremely long story but it's pretty interesting if you can put up with art that is pretty dated by today's standards.
