Also, she never really seemed to me capture the essence of the Question like Vic Sage did. |
I might just like the idea of a female Question and Batwoman gettin busy. Don't judge me.

That's a thought I'm perfectly comfortable getting behind of.

I went to a comic book store today and granted, they tend to have far more Marvel than DC, but most of them sold out! They had Hawk And Dove, Action Comics and Green Arrow, that's it. I'll try another store my next day off but I just hope I can get a copy of Batwoman when it comes out the 14th.
I've been hearing mostly positive reviews so far, so, DC Reboot, maybe not such a shit storm? |
Yes, it's definitely a shit storm. I'll elaborate in a minute, but first ...
Saya, most good comic shops offer a "pull service", where you register with them and tell them what comics you want them to pull for you when they come in. You could ask your local shop to hold a copy of Batwoman, and any other title you are interested in. That way you're guaranteed to get a copy. Okay, shit storm confirmation: Superman Loses Lois Lane, Flight and Two Sets of Parents in DC Relaunch by comicsalliance.com Quote:
I don't like it ... not one bit. |
I'm okay with him still learning to fly and shit but what is with the jeans and boots? If they were going with a costume made from "normal" clothes couldn't he at least be wearing athletic clothes? Jeans aren't really the best thing to go running around in (especially as those look a bit tight) and if he is running everywhere wouldn't he want some god damn running shoes instead of work boots?
|
What, you think Superman needs more arch support?
LMAO! I don't think he has to wear anything athletic, although I don't think any earth-made clothing is going to survive him going into battle. But the practicality isn't really an issue. It's not like any denim is going to restrict HIS muscles. I just think it looks stupid. |

Can't say I'm too big of a Superman fan, but from what I hear what has people most upset isn't necessarily the continuity changing or the reboot or even Lois (I mean, c'mon, we know they'll end up together), but the big thing is apparently in this one Superman is a dick. Animal Man was apparently fantastic, though. Batwing was supposed to be good but something about the art turned me off. But when I can get into the store I'll see about them holding Animal Man and Batgirl for me. |
Gonna be a fanboy here, but, Ben, have you read All-Star Superman? It's, well, pretty much the best Superman story ever, and Morrison wrote it. I honestly think he does a better Supes than a Batman.

I only flipped through it but from what I saw it seems he is kind of a poor bachelor as of right now. I WILL READ IT, I just didn't have cash and didn't want to put four dollars on my debit, I'll get it when I get Batwoman >.> Quote:

Look, you asked us not to judge you about wanting Batwoman and some other chick to get busy. I'll ask you to return the same favor for my busty, scantily clad female hero fetish ... even if it's just an aesthetic I like and not an actual sexual turn-on.
XD Also, I don't care if the hunks lose some clothing for you. I'm just saying that if he's going to wear some earth clothing, it HAS to get ripped and destroyed from time to time. Logically, it wouldn't survive the things his skin does. |
I think there's a difference between being a fan of Batwoman and The Question and oversexualizing all the female characters. And I was mostly joking, I'm not happy that Kate Kane isn't dating Montoya in the first few issues of Batwoman, but mostly because I love them together, not necessarily the idea of them banging with their costumes on, but more because I think it puts them on a more equal footing, with possible team ups! And I'm suspicious if she got cut as the Question because the costume isn't hot.
If he was a chick, the clothing would be ripped. Or he'd just be in his underwear all the time like Catwoman apparently will be. But since hes a dude that would be gay. And I will say it, I have no interest in seeing Superman half naked. He can keep the weirdly bulletproof clothes. Nightwing though... And the more I think of it actually, the more I think I'm not emotionally invested at all in Superman is I kinda think this is his fault. Apparently the idea of the New 52 came about when they were trying to figure out how to put Superman in a love triangle, because monogamy and marriage is too boring for young readers. |
The love triangle thing was tried with Peter Parker, to negligible effect. This is just another example of how they are bereft of new creative ideas.
If young readers find Superman boring, it's not for lack of a gimmick like a love triangle. |

That show actually managed to get ten seasons, and Doomsday showed up, he was a hot looking paramedic. This are the stuff I'll never grasp.

Reeeaaaaally good piece from Comics Alliance on the problematic depiction of women in comics, and how it is worse in some cases in the new reboot:
http://www.comicsalliance.com/2011/0...-superheroine/ I'm really disappointed Voodoo came out that way. I knew it was always kind of going to be lots of boobs, but I didn't think the first thing you'd see if her is her on her knees, half naked with people throwing money at her. Article says she's the first black woman to get her own comic, and if that's accurate, that's really, really, really sad. Also I couldn't ever really like Starfire because I always felt she was nothing but eye candy, but it seems now she's even worse. And Catwoman is dead to me. I'm so glad Batwoman didn't end up that way, at least so far, with her sexuality being her own. She's gone through a few lovers already, and she's gorgeous, but in such a way that almost seems like she's being catered to queer women rather than men. In contrast with Voodoo, who is also bisexual, its like one is very high minded and awesomely progressive, and another one just seems to be typical hyersexualized "black women are sluts", "bisexuals are sluts" dribble. |

I watch "Castle," and Castle and Becket have been trying to get together for three years now. Becket is tough, good-looking, smart, and caring, but so is Castle. Even if you didn't already know who the guy or the lady was by the names, the description would be the same. They're equals who compliment each other. Where's the comic book with characters like that? |
Oh, and FYI: This is probably why I like Elfquest so much.
