Extra daily link post

A week or so ago I mentioned that I wrote a guest post about Huntress for a tumblr account named DC Women Kicking Ass.  The post formed part of a series on memorable moments in the DCU for women.

Well, guess what?  Now there's gonna be poll!  It will be open Monday to Tuesday and you all have a list of 30 moments to choose form.  Ego says I should tell you all to vote for my Huntress entry.  But my gut says vote for one of the Wonder Woman moments. of which there's 8.  I'm torn between snapping Max's neck,  sacrificing her eyesight, putting her foot down on Batman or spending a day with Lois.

But then, there's so many other great moments to vote for..both great in themselves and also with great write ups... such a hard choice.  The full list is here, go vote!

One of my favorite moments, of the DC gals, isn't a blockbuster action packed scene nor an epic memorable moment of one of them kicking X villain/hero's ass.

It's not on the list.
It's from a Brave and the Bold modern issue.
The issue were Batgirl/Barbara hangs out with Z and Wonder Woman just...before "that moment" of her career..

It was quite sweet hearted, funny and also made me sad.
Probably the best piece written by Straczynski.

Oh that is a lovely moment!

DCWKA's moments were selected through a poll, that was developed through nominations on twitter and her blog. I don't think that moment got in, sadly.
