 And mike would like to know what that means :)

It's a reference to those incredibly obscure and pithy quotes from "Ill Met by
Satrlight" that I have to spend hours with a Bartletts tracking down. >_<

 Officially, the Sabers are illegal, yeah?  The cops really didn't go
 after them, but they didn't support them openly either.  It was the
 higher-ups, I think, in govt, i.e. genom puppets, that didn't like'em.
 
 Still, the sabers hardly get official support.

No superhero, barring Superman, ever got OFFICIAL support. Officially,
everything they do is criminal. Unofficially, the authorities are gratefull
for any help they can get.

And I think you're underestimating ADP's gratitude. If somebody stopped a
rampaging boomer form turning your skull into a fine pink mist, you'd be
pretty damn gratefull.

And as for open support... Leon and Daley. When the two most senior officers
on the force save the KS's leader (Red Eyes) and walk PAST three of them to
arrest the scientist they suppposedly kidnapped (Double Vision) using
officially requisitioned vehicles while on duty both times, that's pretty damn
open.

Leon is basically a younger, sassier Jim Gordon. They even carry the same kind
of gun.

 _Early_ years of Batman's career he was _very_ opposed by
 the police.

No. Nonononono. In the comics he obtained their support almost from the get
go, and in the fragmentary histories occasionally offered by the anime (I
consider BTAS worthy of the title anime) he established a good working
relationship with Jim after only minor troubles.

 Was WayneTech not a sub-branch of Wayne Enterprises in general?

You may be right. I'll haveta check.

 Truth be told... aheh... I'm not sure if he's dead yet. ^_^

If you kill off Bats and leave the Joker alive, I'm afraid I'm going to have
to hunt you down and cause you severe bodily harm.

Besides, what about that teaser with young Sylia, Doctor Raven, and BW wearing
his Kingdom Come exosuit?

 Didn't Largo have a funny little black box...?

Yes he did, and I'd like to know just how the HELL they managed that. There
was ONE black box, that which belonged to Cynthia and was incorporated into
the BU-99CX1 Superboomer from BGC 2. Unless the damn thing is considerably
more durable than it appeared to be, it should have been destroyed when the
particle sats fried the Kawasaki lab site. There was never an explanation as
to how Largo got it.

For that matter, if JOKER had it, he probably would have carved a gigantic
smiley face into the planet about five seconds after he got free.

Say.... on a completely unrelated side note, what's the deal with Mackie? Why
did you pack him off to Germany? He was the coolest member of the team! And
you eliminated him with the same damn cheap cop-put that Crash! used. I hate
that.
