 The beat cops and folks on the street certainly would, but
 not the higher ranking people and the bureocrats.

Chief Todo certainly counts as a high ranking person, and he tacitly

supported

the KS in that he never stopped Leon from associating with them.

 Yeah, they're the only ones.

Sez who? They just happen to be the only ones we ever SEE.

 All I need now is to make Leon the commissioner.
 
 Hrm...

Uh-oh. Leon with REAL authority. That ain't good. ^_-
  

 They never did show any 'flashback' episodes to the time
 that he started his career in BTAS, so I feel that's open
 to interpretation.  And given that they use a lot of material
 from the comics, I take in (love him or hate him) Frank Miller's
 interpretations.
 
 Yes, including Year One.
 
 You read Year One?  Bats had swat teams chasing after his butt,
 hostile angry swat teams with lots of ammunition.

I OWN Year One. And that's where I'm drawing my opinions from; by

the end,

Gordon was practically breaking out the Batsignal.

And if you go by the other origins stories (the ones from the

forties) he got

in good with James even quicker.

 You call this joker alive?

I consider any intelligent Boomer with no brain block to be living.

It's just

the way I feel about AI's. I almost cried at the end of "Soul of

Silicon."

 He doesn't have to be alive in 2034 at all for that to work...

True.

 I thought they did when a dive team went to the remains of
 Aqua City and got it.  Ergo it goes to Mason, therefore to
 Largo.

That's what I'm saying; it wentfrom the dive team into that big-ass

red

Superboomer (the BU-99CX1) they fought in episode two. When Nene

jammed the

targeting systems with her ECCM, the box went off-course and fried

both the

Superboomer and itself. And yet later, the box shows up in Largo. I

never got

that.

 In Bgc 6 "Red Eyes" At the beginning when the Hyperboomers and Anri
"While disguised as the Knight Sabers" attacked and destroyed The
Genom Factory and Warehouse. They stole a truck that we saw had a
large boomer in the back of it. That boomer could have been the
BU-99CX1 Superboomer from Bgc 2. Remember people Superboomers are
extremely tough. Largo survived a particle beam blast. Why can't this
thing? Anyway the Hyberboomers stole the boomer from the truck and
Largo could have got the black box that way.  

 Episode 2, I think.

Exactly.

 It's called a cop-out.  I can't write Mackie.

I thought you did pretty good in Frozen Knights. And wait'll you see

what _I_

have in store for Mackie and Sylia. Hehehe.
