Thank you, corrected.

He also drove an orbital laser through Gotham in Batman of the Future, actually killing several thousand people.

Look, that's what it's called in my country. Take it up with DC.

Checking the IMDB page for Batman Beyond, aka "Batman Tomorrow", "Batman of the Future" etc... Yep, he probably does.

Now I'm wondering if he ring translates these sorts of Britishisms into the American version when he's talking to non-Brits

Talia's personality didn't really come across in this update. To some extent that's understandable, seeing as how she's a very guarded person who is good at deception.

But still, I have no idea what Talia really thinks about things. She listened carefully to what OL said, made some agreeable noises, and sent him on his way. I suppose what I would really have liked to learn was how involved in the planning for any of this she was. Did Batman consult Talia on any of this? Did he at any point prior to actually pulling the trigger say, "I'm thinking of memory-wiping my agents for security and adding in some obedience programming."? Has she met the AI that Batman is using to run all of this? (And I don't mean Mr. Atom.)

Hmmm. Yeah, working this out as I type it, I've realized the AI is who OL probably most needs to talk to but hasn't. Brother Eye, or at least we presume that's the AI's name. Even when OL visited its satellite, it conspicuously didn't speak up. Batman did all the talking.

I'm still recalling how Anarky kidnapped Enginehead to examine him, which we never really found out why Lonnie wanted to do that. Was it because he knew about Brother Eye and wanted to examine a similar AI? It's seeming more and more likely to me.

Brother Eye is a free and independent being. He may have been programmed to want to help and support Batman like how Enginehead is programmed to help and support Lex Luthor, but that doesn't mean that they think and believe the same things. Under all the AI laws OL has been helping write, it's still an independent being. Everyone is focused on talking to Batman, but I think it would be reasonable to speak directly to the being actually running this army of memory-wiped supersoldiers.

On holiday isn't really a phrase on this side of the pond, we say "on vacation". You've had American characters say American phrases though and OL heard them as such so probably not? Like in most cases it's gonna be obvious in context but some things mean basically the opposite e.g. "quite lovely" so that could lead to some fun confusion.

I have no idea where Talia al Ghul grew up, but I'm sure she can understand the meaning of the word 'holiday'.

@Lazelurker You know what you did.
