More Info On Batwoman

[Purple Man]

My words were dripping with sarcasm sauce.

She was probably my favorite character created in the past decade or so.

 

[Harlekin]

Hmmm... sarcasm sauce.

i almost ripped u a new one

 

[Arkady Rossovich]

Hmn...more proof that the industry is still male dominated.Im willing to give this new Batwoman a try..

 

[I_am_budders]

I like the outfit, but quite frankly the character seems boring and uninteresting by her description. I hope they prove me wrong.

 

[Fledermaus]

I think it will be cool to see The Huntress's reaction to Batwoman. Bats was always doggin' Helena out for her excesive violence. Helena was Batgirl for a bit, then Bats took it away and gave the role to a kid. A bad-ass kid, but still a kid.
And now this new, seemingly sanctioned Bat-chick comes around.

I smell a cat-fight. or is it a bat-fight? (groan)

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I wouldn't really call Cassandra a kid. She was over 18 when she first became Batgirl, wasn't she?

Nope, I'm pretty sure her and Tim are about the same age.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

No, I know for sure she's older than Tim. I think she was about 20 when her series ended.

 

[The Spirit]

The suit is so.....I don't know.

 

[Red Mask]

No, I know for sure she's older than Tim. I think she was about 20 when her series ended.

Did Tim go to college yet?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

No, he's 17 as of the OYL stuff.

Cassandra was eighteen. Because she was eight when Cain decided she was ready to test out the abilities she had learned. That's when she spent the next ten years of her life without a home, and then met Oracle.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Close enough. I knew she was older than Tim.

Check this link to the BBC News Website in the UK, this has garnished some interest.

 

[twylight]

Because yellow and orange equal black and red.

I must be missing something...isn't the new costume Black and Orange?

*darn computer screen*

I guess the Lesbian angle would explain the Butch look.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Haha, I thought she looked a bit butch, too. And yeah, that's supposed to be red. It's the same color as the Flash's costume, and I doubt he'd change his whole costume to orange on a whim. Now that I can see such a detailed image of that picture, I'm wondering why her belt is so loose. Doesn't seem practical for your utility belt to slide down off your waist in a fight...

 

[twylight]

Well, I did compare it to Flash's costume but it seemed paler and more orangey. Like where her glove is.

Or maybe I'm looking to hard.

So more info later....

Man,... as a hetro male I have to say,... What a waste,...............

I'm all for personal choice,.... But that doesn't mean that I can lust after a person who prefers women.

(thats a convo in itself,.. Lesbians taking offense because hetros notice the short skirt and the tube top.)

 

[Varient]

So far DC has made a Female NightWing, and now a Batwoman,.... Betchu when they bring back BatGirl,.. that FlameBird also coms back.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I think it's just the highlights.

if you're going to get into nit-picking her costume, why stop at the belt? her long hair and cape are both impractical as they're something to grab onto if you're in hand-to-hand combat with her. then there's the boots, high heels like that would not work if she's jumbing off buildings and chasing down bad guys. as with most things in comic books, this requires quite a bit of suspension of disbelief.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Thank you, I never thought of suspending disbelief for a comic. I didn't even nitpick anything, I just pointed out that such a loose belt seems impractical, not that it needs to change or there's anything worse about it than any other aspect of her or a number of other heroes' costumes.

don't get all defensive on me. you pointed out how impractical her belt was and i just said "why stop there?" there are plenty of impractical aspects to her costume.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

You got defensive on me first. I made a totally innocuous comment and you decided to condescend to me things I already know.
