Spooky, nice Castle reference. That's one of the reasons I watch the show too ... it portrays the male and female leads as equals who respect each other (although Beckett likes to joke about Castle being a writer to give him a hard time, when it comes down to using his intuitive and "creative" forensic skills, she takes nearly everything he says very seriously.) They are given (for the most part) mature dialog. And the show does a good job of showing an adult, flirtatious relationship without sexualizing either character or pandering. It reminds me a bit of Moonlighting before that show ran off the rails.

Saya, I wonder if you cut some slack to Batwoman just because it's primarily portraying a lesbian character who rejects men's advances? The artwork I'm seeing seems pretty sexualized (with the small exception of not appearing to exaggerate any of the women's breast size.)
