Long time followers of this blog know that this confrontation has been brewing for a while now. Commissioner Gordon was first summoned to Mongo by Flash in STF #2535, Barbara Gordon began searching for him in STF #3879, and finally tracked him down and went to collect him in STF #3535. It's good to see them back home safe and sound.

So, STF #3879 was a prequel to STF #3535, whereas this is a direct sequel to same? Got it!
As for this "healthy" dialogue? At first glance, I'd say there's more sound than safety! But, perhaps I'm just embracing my inner pessimist a little too hard.
Family reunions don't always turn out to be rosy. "Dad, I found you at last! I love you so much, but you put me thru all this, now I'm gonna - !" That's how families work. Flash and the Commissioner looked at the big picture, and had to stabilize the situation on Mongo to prevent another despot from launching on attack on Earth. And at first, having Doc Samson there as therapist/encounter manager seemed a bit of an overkill, but his presence may be needed if a physical intervention does become necessary. Ross' development of the Gordon family stories have been one of the most carefully thought out plot threads on Brave and Bold. Imho. Salut!
This is a delightful continuation of the Gordon Family Chronicles. Some of the best stories of the Silver Age (and into the Bronze Age) had no villain, and involved no crimefighting; this could be one such story.
@Ken: Having Doc Samson on hand to mediate is, at least, better than the other choice: one Dr. Quinzel.
@Ross: I keep thinking that a Defenders vs. Fatal Five epic would be in order. I suggested Dr. Strange vs. the Emerald Empress a little while back ("An Eye for an Eye!"), and Hulk vs. Validus would be natural. I'm not sure how to match up the rest, though; Namor's best foe of the remaining three would probably be Mano, and Valkyrie could battle Persuader (sword versus axe), leaving Tharok to fight with whoever's left -- probably either Gargoyle or Silver Surfer.
And how about the Inferior Five vs. the Fatal Five?
Had a thought the other day, how about a team up of Garfield, Heathcliffe, Tigger, Hobbes and Tigra from Thundercats? Call'em "Orange Fur Force" or something.
Also, I think a dramatic movie about Commissioner Gordon reacting to finding out the truth about Batgirl, Batman, Robin etc. would make for a compelling character piece, especially with a "bottle episode" feel of being set in a single location.
You want Ross to do a "bottle episode" -type story? How about a Super Family reunion between the Gordons, the Rogers, and the Stranges? Similar to how those Late Silver Age reunions between the JLA and JSA always started out.
Greggory, See "Cat Precint"
I think he already had the Defenders fight the Fatal Five once. And there's an issue with the Fatal Five meeting the Inferior Five... they're both DC!
Then how about the Fatal Five vs. the original (Late Silver Age) GOTG? Or the Inferior Five vs. the original (Early Silver Age) Baron Zemo and his Masters of Evil?
Jim, your girl is a real piece of work. Yes, she is, but i still worry about her.
That's ok, she worries about you.
First time i ever worked with a guy with green hair that i respected.
That's ok.. i hope most of your fears are gone in a FLASH.
that was. me.
@Ben: Good point re: I5/F5. I'd forgotten about that. As for the Defenders, I was thinking of one-on-one fights that would either be featured on a 100-page special or make up a six-part epic.
@Bob Greenwade: maybe Ross could do that starting with STF #3995. You know; as a lead-in to his landmark 4000th issue!
