I hold no respect for anyone who starts going on about how it's "disrespectful" or "exploitive" or any of that crap. These comics are great, and I happen to like seeing Catwoman drawn extremely sexily and wanting to get it on with Batman. Not only is it telling a side of the character that's been implied for 25 years but never explicitly told, the story overall is great.
I hate feminists, feminism, and wimpy men who act like they had all of the testosterone sucked out of their body. Those are the only types of people I've seen hate on this comic, and good grief I cannot accurately say how much I dislike them without going into a lot of expletives. |

You'd be wrong to equate a disdain for sex with feminism.

I dont see a problem with them having sex. Sex is normal, if its not pornographic, I dont see the big deal.
However that what was just posted looks really stupid because they are wearing their costumes. |

IMHO, there is something very wrong with having sex while leaving the masks on. It's like the person is not important, just the act of lust. It makes no sense that Bruce Wayne, who threw away his right to be a child the moment his parents were murdered, spent years in physical and mental discipline, and spends his nights thinking so deeply about the matters that surround Gotham that he has earned the title of Dark Knight Detective, would take the matter of love so lightly that he would perform it anonymously just to satisfy his erotic urges. That would simply undermine all that time he spent putting all other urges, even the ones of pain, hunger, tiredness and cold, under control.

I think people should just relax. So, Batman and Catwoman had sex. It was a bit of a surprise to see it that way, but I suppose that was the point. You have to grab your readers with the first issue they pick up. I doubt that soft-core porn is going to become the staple of this or any other DC comicbook.
I really didn't see anything offensive in showing straightforward coitus between two consenting adults. Then again, I'm European. ![]()

Again, they can **** all they want as long as the writer portrays it with at least some ounce of class.
Winnick doesnt. That's the problem.

Heh! That is a silver-tongued line if ever there was one.

*sigh* I suppose this will pop up every issue. But anyway. About the reboots: the world should've learned by now that continuity is the last thing stories are concerned with (and by the world, I mean the imaginary readers DC editors keep cooking up). About the sex: anyone having problems with it isn't talking about the fact that Batman and Catwoman are getting it on, they're talking about the way they're shown to be getting it on. There are much better ways to show them being intimate, hell, Long Halloween Bats was so stiff you actually hoped he and Catwoman got together and released some tension. But not like this - this was bad writing, and worse; bad writing continued. Phantasm says it best: it's exploitative.
I love how Batman is screaming dirty in one page, relaxing with his hand on his head, and then the next ZAP, he's all "serious". Right. |

I believe reg said it best - it has done what it was set out to do; sell the first issue. It's a marketing tool. Sex sells. So does Batman. Let's add them up. Quote:

I haven't seen anyone here declare sex to be an "abhorrent matter." I'd love to see quotes where this has been stated.

Even so, I haven't seen that attitude toward sex itself expressed.

Needless to say I and a few others saw it differently. I'm not interested in calling people out, but I have seen the anti-sex sentiments here as well is in the comics forum. So...take it for what you will.

It does seem implied from some that sex seems to be a no-go area for comics. People have to stop being prudish, it's human nature.

I see it as minor errors of the characters behalf (Babs saying the Joker shot her 3 years ago in the new 52, because it makes no sense.) Too much in too little of time; My Batman continuity... Spoiler!!! Click to Read!:

I haven't seen anyone suggest that sex across the board is inappropriate or a no-go for comics. If people here in this thread have said it, quote them on it and see what they say. If people in some other thread who we don't want to name have said it, then why bring it up? What does it contribute to the present discussion? Nothing that I can see.
