I never thought Daisy actually was a student of Snooker or Pool, I just figured she had an innate, almost supernatural affinity for games (see also; how good she is at darts and cricket)

Bruce Wayne vs Susan is, I would say, the main event of this story. It’s the face-off that comics has been waiting for. Very much the De Niro/Pacino meeting in Michael Mann’s Heat.

I don’t know what it says about the Dark Knight that he employs a stealthy mini-drone to scan Susan’s notes when he could just have looked at them with his eyes.

Easy explanation: Bruce Wayne is a known social chameleon, so it would be in character to assume certain British mannerisms in these circumstances.

I dunno, him catching a break leads to him catching a pretty big break.

You mean a crossover with other properties like super heroes or a crossover with other Allison-verse characters? If it's the latter, Lottie has already been in both Steeple and Giant Days.

I'm must admit I was skeptical about this crossover at first, but now I'm on board hoping we get a sequel series where Lottie gets to team up with The Batgirl (C. Cain) and The Batgirl (S. Brown).

A part of me wishes we lived in the universe where he decided that actually doing a batman crossover was too risky, so went with plan B, which was exactly the same but instead of batman it was a Garfield themed superhero.
