h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hi David

I'm subbing your entry on Batman, the revised version of which can be found @ A4075544. I'd appreciate it if you could look it over and get back to me with any comments or questions you may have.

Thanks!

Hello!

I wasn't the main author on this one - I only contributed some bits and bobs if I recall correctly. But I will look it over and get back to you.

Ok - I was just told I should run it by all you guys, so I did.

OK. Here are a few comments:

In the last sentence of the 'The Batman' section, we have

"His experience of forensic investigation and scientific crime-fighting is unsurpassable even by the great Sherlock Holmes."

Should that be unsurpassed? I'm not sure anything is truly unsurpassable...

Footnote 5:

"Read the 'No Man's Land' Annuals for more information."

I think that should be altered to read as follows:

"Read the 'Cataclysm' and 'No Man's Land' collections for more information."

My reasons for the changes: 'Cataclysm' contains the actual quake storyline, and the volumes are not annuals as such, but reprint collections.

I think the following:

"The Batmobile is one of Batman's favourite modes of transportation. He does have a Batcycle, Batjet, Batcopter and even a Batboat/Submarine, however, for transport within the confines of Gotham City, the Batmobile is his preference."

should be two sentences, with the split after Batboat/Submarine. You may disagree, on that, though. I know my punctuation decisions as a sub-ed are sometimes open to question.

In the Robin section, change 'Robin Number Three was' to 'Robin Number Three is'

Sorry for being nitpicky. Hope that helps!

David

Thanks!
