“Say, what’s the Dark Knight doing this evening? Think he’d want to meet us for beers? I’ve got, like, this crazy fangirl crush on him…”

Only if “meeting for beers” means “talking about justice/how one’s parents are dead and being obstinately grumpy about both all the time.”
In other news, I love you, Ev.
Swierczynski Talks Future Story Arcs in Birds of Prey
I recommend reading the entire interview over at CBR, (it’s very Dinah/Ivy-centric, given the current direction of the story), but here are the snippets that specifically discuss Ev:
CBR: Looking long-term, is the broad-stroke plan that each arc of the series will dive into the back story of each member of the team, like Starling or Katana?
Swierczynski: Absolutely. The focus for the next few issues is Black Canary and Poison Ivy, but there is a script for almost a Starling stand-alone where we delve into her past and her Uncle Earl. I originally wrote that as one of the early issues, but we wanted to focus more on the team. We felt it was too soon to go off on a sidetrack with this one character. As the book builds, there will be time for that over the coming year I’d say.
CBR: I mean, at this point we’ve got to meet Uncle Earl — Starling quotes him every issue!
Swierczynski: [Laughs] That’s the whole fun of it! I thought of him on a whim, thinking about what sort of background she’d have, and this character popped in my head. It’s fun to think about heroes’ home lives and what they have to deal with. I can’t wait — hopefully the Uncle Earl storyline will appear sometime soon.
EV TIME
Here are Ev’s pages from today’s Birds of Prey #9. Look for regular posts over the weekend in respect of spoiler rules.
Anyway, SPOILERS are clearly under the cut, so you’ve been warned!
Btw: What did everyone think of the new art style? Digging Foreman’s more visceral take?
