And thus is revealed why she couldn't just get another wooden bat after Mr Bat bit the dust. You can't just replace a friend like that.
Also, poor Wright. In comic-land, no matter how advanced a society becomes in terms of bureaucracy, the justice system, or even mental health care, all generally wacky bad guys will wind up in an asylum for the criminally insane. It's just kind of how it is.

I hate to be the bad guy here but if that bat meant so much to her, she shouldn't be beating bad guys with it.
Lore should have THAT bat "mounted over the fireplace'' or so to speak, and an easilyy replacable bat for bashing in criminal skulls.

Lore, you have a friend-signed bat, and YOU NEVER TOLD ME! Huff!
Now as for VAL, it wouldn't be fitting to hang a bat over the fireplace. Tools should be used for their intended purpose. Mr Bats purpose was to whack things.

Um, no I don't have a friend-signed bat. Someone has been misinformed. As it turns out, I am not Val and Val is not me. Not by a long shot.
Val is a very practical person. If she has a bat, she's going to use it as a bat, even if it has personal significance to her. Perhaps BECAUSE it has personal significance to her. She knew there was a possibility of the bat getting wrecked and she was prepared to deal with it, but that doesn't mean the destruction isn't allowed to upset her.
Besides, Mack and Val don't have a fireplace.

Knowing comics, this'll all get retconned so Mr. Bat will be okay. Oh, or maybe alternate reality Mr. Bats. CRISIS ON INFINITE BASEBALL FIELDS!!!

She should get a cricket bat sometimes. Those are pwnsome for thwacking things.
I'm liking this page though. "I guess I'm sorry for inflicting debilitating bodily harm on you..."

Instead of becoming embroiled in the stress of relationships, val became connected to an inanimate object with the expectation it would break... and...
I dont know where I was going with this.
But anyways it seems sort of like a WWII fighter pilot being attached to his plane because it has really cool nose art on it.

Wow. That hench lawyer must be really good if he managed to trade testimony against a guy who turned out to be unfit to stand trial.

Ah, but it never said he was unfit to stand trial. Only that he's been ranting etc since his arm got lopped off.
Or maybe his testimony is part of what determined whether or not he was fit for trial
Or maybe the deal had already been signed and sealed by the time they discovered that trial testimony wouldn't be necessary.
There are all kinds of ways it could have panned out.

Also since Coldfire is a henchman and part of the henchmen union (much like the heroes and villains have a union), they have lawyers who excel at making sure their guys get off. A henchmen of course is small beans compared to a villain, so they will almost always get off if they agree to roll on their boss, which they will almost always do. Coldfire of course had no reason to stay faithful to Wright. He was assigned to his job, now his job is over. He will soon be assigned elsewhere.

Henchmen union...that's gotta be affiliated with the Graduate Employee's Union right? What is a TA but a henchwoman, corrupting the youth so to speak?
