Catwoman # 2 (The aftermath)
My thoughts exactly. Honestly most of DC new 52 female leading ladies revamp is just been ridiculous as they just become eye candy with no real character to them any longer like previously, Lois, Selina even Diana had more than just looks to their character before this reboot. Now all they serve a purpose to is being portrayed as ****s women who have no real character purpose as strong independent characters
I know it's to do with the comics code, but really, why would Catwoman realistically still have her bra and panties on just after sex, especially her panties? It's just like in some tv episodes you see that a woman has put her bra back on immediately after sex, as if they feel more comfortable like that. That would never really happen.
I promise you'll be surprised with the actual depth. #2 especially, had an amazing cliffhanger.
I never wanted to see sex between these characters, especially in costume. These new comics suck. These are archetypal figures being reduced to trash.
I was excited about the DC revamp but I seriously don't want to read these comics now that I know about their content. I'm in my mid twenties, and I still think it is inappropriate.

It is inappropriate, and I think DC has the message from the readers.

What the hell is peoples issue with characters getting it on in comics?
Indeed. I know it's for ratings and all that, but I always find it un natrural and annoying when the woman is holding a sheet to her chest - with no one else in the room except her or the guy. Or woman (!). I don't think I'd want Batman and Catwoman to do the deed. Not doing so keeps and increases the tension between them. Kinda like Bond and Moneypenny I guess.If they were to have sex, I would rather it is either just implied and depicted off screen, or if they must show them, that they are not in costume. It just looks extremely tacky and like some kind of erotic fan art or erotic fan fiction when they have their costumes on. At least with no costume it looks more tasteful. They don't have to show nudity either, as there are plenty of tv shows or even movies where two people are shown having sex but nudity isn't shown.
But it would be better to just have them lying in bed later on after the act, than showing them in the heat of passion.
I'd rather see it in movies.

Nothing wrong with them having sex in the comics. Get over it.
Its not that they're doing it. Its HOW its portrayed. Ie. lacking all sorts of the miniscule attempt at any kind of classyness.What the hell is peoples issue with characters getting it on in comics?
Yup yup and yup.First, it is like walking in on your parents doing it. I grew up with these characters.
Second, it is inappropriate. It doesn't advance the story in any way. You can tell the reader they did it without illustrating the whole scene. See Batman / Catwoman interactions in Dini's work for reference, which IMHO is much more romantic and (dare I say) sexy.
Third, it is overboard. I suppose this should be expected when the name of the game for all entertainment these days is loss of subtlety, explosions everywhere, etc. They risk trivializing or undermining Batman / Catwoman's sexual tension by constantly flattening it. In my opinion it in fact trivializes their entire relationship - makes it a spectacle instead of drawing us in.
Fourth, it is like a bad porno. Shouting dirty words at each other during sex? Doing it with the costumes on? Good grief, you've got to be kidding me.
Fifth, it is just an inappropriate and exploitative way to use the characters. I think we've seen how the new comics are focused on Catwoman's body parts before we ever even see her face. I don't care if the comic has a good plot - these particular scenes are exploitative and cheapen the writing. They come off as teenage fantasies or bad fan fiction. The rest of the plot may well be a story feast but these scenes leave a bad taste in my mouth.
