#gave an avenue for the comics to properly introduce Harley Quinn
Text
thinking about the 'load-bearing event' post and how nearly the entire post-1990s Bat mythos rests on No Man's Land happening, and it getting punted out of canon when the reboot happened irreparably fucked over both the "Batfamily" as a concept and multiple character dynamics until Death Metal/Infinite Frontier re-canonized it last year
#batman#batfam#dc comics#No Man's Land was literally THE Batman event. EVERYTHING about the Bat mythos post-2000 hinged on NML's consequences & fallout#it re-organized Gotham's power structure‚ kickstarted Ivy's redemption arc‚ introduced Cass‚ and was the first true 'Batfamily' event#not to mention it tied both Dick and Barbara back to Gotham in ways they previously hadn't been#established Huntress as an actual Player™#gave an avenue for the comics to properly introduce Harley Quinn#and led to MASSIVE character growth and changes for Tim and Steph#is it really any surprise that the Bat books ALL felt like they were missing something vital from 2011-2020#when one of the most important events that ever happened to them was de-canonized?
