This is the comments thread on a preview for the next issue of Batgirl, in
which she visits England to adventure with British superheroes Knight and
Squire. Specifically, it's mostly a thread about what kind of accent the
Squire should have based on her known backstory, characterization, and
upbringing, as opposed to what kind she's written with, as well as a
digression here and there about other British accents in comics. It's not
super in depth but I thought an argument about different British accents
might interest you a bit.

It did!
