2024 is such a big year for Stephanie Beatriz. She voiced four characters in these major animated shows throughout the year:

January: Vaggie in ‘Hazbin Hotel’

July: Amara in Marvel’s ‘Hit-Monkey’ Season 2

October: Lady Kima in ‘The Legend of Vox Machina’ Season 3

December: Dr. Aisla MacPherson (originally Isla MacPherson in the comics) in DC’s ‘Creature Commandos’

Not to mention she also played Didi Santos Cordero in Mike Schur’s Netflix hit comedy show ‘A Man on the Inside’ in November, wrapped up filming the new season of ‘Twisted Metal’ in the same month, and both Season 2 of the two series are expected to come out in 2025 (Again, fingers crossed that Didi will return in AMOTI S2).

This makes me so mad because could you imagine if DC hadn't been cowards? If Barbara had been a schoolteacher at Gotham Academy, like in the Birds of Prey show? 😭

Quick Thoughts on Batman: The Brave and the Bold (2023-) #12

Spoilers for Batman: The Brave and the Bold (2023-) #12

Maps! As some might realise, I am quite the fan of Maps Mizoguchi. Gotham Academy was one of the first comics I read in great length and Maps herself is quite the fun character. So I’ve been looking forward to each part of her appearance in Brave and the Bold.

And let me say; #12 did not disappoint…

Maps is OFFICIAL Robin! Woohoo!

Maps is now an official Robin! Not only that but she also knows Batman’s secret identity. Interestingly though; Alfred is alive in this which means this all happened sometime before “the present”, which means chronologically she’d actually known this info for quite the while now.

Does kinda make me wonder what exactly she’s been up too during all the events between “the present” and her discovering Batman’s identity. I’ve seen it suggested on Reddit she might’ve been off looking for Olive; which would make sense since Olive’s whereabouts a very major hanging plot thread.

They made a point of starting this arc in #10 with a flashback to Olive; so that could suggest that a return to her plot line and what she’s been up to since the conclusion of second semester is being set up.

Overall though. I really loved this arc, and it was great to see Maps as Robin and even get acknowledged as such by Bruce. And I have enjoyed both seeing Maps in action as Robin and also her dynamic with Bruce.

Having Maps be skilled a researching monsters like Kappas and such has been a pretty neat reoccurring skill Maps has displayed in her appearances. Gotham Academy did tend to lean towards the more supernatural aspects of the Gotham setting and so it seems fitting for Maps to have this speciality.

Batgirls (2022-2023) #11

Also, while I'm not the biggest expert in comic book continuity and stuff; I think Batgirls probably takes place after Alfred's death, right? So that means Maps already knew Batman's secret identity when talking to Cass here. Kinda odd she's taking some random girl (from her perspective; since its later established she doesn't know Cass' surname and this is before Cass reveals she also has a Batman connection) to find the Batcave... although in hindsight, her having already visited the Batcave at this point would explain how she knows of its existence in the first place.

I do wonder though what Maps is up to in the present though.

Also…

Poor Isla MacPherson. Dating a billionaire with a playboy reputation is hard enough, but she got attacked by an infected Bruce in her own home and had her dog knocked aside. Granted, Gotham Academy has some strange stuff, but getting attacked in her own home (especially while being a normal teacher instead of a vigilante or anything) would be a special kind of terrifying.

And even if Maps is often involved with strange stuff at the school, her presence must be quite bizarre from Isla’s perspective. Maps just straight up broke into her house, saved her, and then nonchalantly explained the situation.

Gotta wonder if either of them ever mentions this night, or if Isla just tries to ignore that time her billionaire ex turned into some kinda vampire and got knocked out by her student.

ok so i just finished reading gotham academy (second semester will be read soon too) and so far my thoughts are:

i want isla macpherson to adopt olive and also i want to know more about her

pomeline/olive and kyle/colton are where it’s at

maps and damian’s budding friendship is adorable and deserves to be explored in detail

i want olive on e82 duke’s team even more now. i want her to redeem her family’s name and for bruce to apologize to her instead of just saying it’s what had to be done

Makes me think of the adults

Or more specifically, the degree to which the adults are aware of their activities and condone them.  Not the first thing to make me think of this (MacPherson has been in on some of the previous actions, and Langstrom knows a bit so on).

Also wonder how well MacPherson and Pom’s mom know each other.

Lumberjanes/Gotham Academy

“Life seems worse when your young because everything is new. You assume adults never went through what you did because they don’t seem to feel anything as acutely. But, i’ll tell you a secret there were you they were you. Yet the world still spins no matter what happens, and eventually we all grow up. Part of maturity is approaching situations with as much calm and clarity as we can muster so we can help the young learn to cope with problems when all we really want is to scream, too. Like right bloody now, for instance.”

Isla MacPherson

[antiquatedarchives]

To be completely and utterly honest Professor MacPherson is the only professor I'm willing to trust in this comic. The only one.
