More Info On Batwoman

[The Incredible Hulk]

Kathy Kane's a lesbo?

aww...i wanted to see Bruce hit that.....ah, well, cant tap em all....

maybe she'll let him watch

 

[DBM]

maybe she'll let him watch

He's the Batman. He'll watch if he wants.


And no one will ever know about it.

 

[WOLVERINE25TH]

Until the inevitable bat-spooge.

tmi,...

 

[jaydawg]

Worse than the non-Kara Supergirls created since the first Crisis? I can accept her more than a shapechanger turned angel.

Peter David's Supergirl was easily the best Supergirl ever. Besides.... what the hell does this have to do with Kate Kane?

 

[Phatman]

Batwoman being a lesbian is just a gimmick to get people buying comics. She'll be forgotten or killed in a year.
Let us remember other forgettable gay comic characters:
Northstar
Rawhide kid
Maggie Sawyer

i didn't know maggie sawyer was gay.

renee montoya is still a big part of the dcu.

 

[MajinShenron]

A lot of negative comments have been made about Batwoman, and not only in this forum. She won't survive.

 

[sinewave]

She'll survive. Fanboys are notoriously fickle and have a hard time accepting new things. Everyone's got their minds made up that they hate her now but she hasn't even appeared in anything yet. Give it a few months and people will warm up to her.

 

[Purple Man]

All we know that is that she is a lesbian who had a relationship with Montoya, and was once in the same social circles as Bruce Wayne, and what her costume looks like.

And this is already enough for people to say that they hate her.

So what if she is a female version of Batman? Spider-Woman never caught half the crap that Batwoman is getting.

Are people really that afraid of different characters?

Would you all prefer if writers just used the same characters over and over and over and over?

New concepts keep things fresh. So don't knock these characters till they hit the page.

I'm getting sick of all this pre-whining.

exactly.

 

[Fledermaus]

I'm not whining. Batwoman could be a kick-ass character. I'm a fan of all things Batman. Even the sh**ty things. I have the full run of Gotham Knights. I have the all the issues of The Dark Knight Strikes Again. I still buy all the covers for All-Star Batman. I'm going to give Batwoman a chance. I just hate the ****in' mask.

I agree to a certain extent but you have to realize something. A major part of super heroes in comics are the costume. Thats what ties in a lot of people into comics. Look at the most popular super heroes, Batman, Superman, Spiderman, Ironman, etc. All of them have an original and eye catching costume. A lot of people already don't like the costume for Batwoman. Thats enough to steer some people away.

A lesbian Batwoman? What a terrible idea!

Next you will be telling me that there is going to be an asian Batgirl. Now that's a terrible concept!

Oh wait, there was an asian Batgirl! But did she do well? She did? Well I guess I shouldn't be knocking an idea until it hits the stands.

People should really stop saying they hate something before it is even printed.

Back in the day Spider-Man was a bad idea destined for failure until he actually hit the stands.

I'm not saying Batwoman is going to be the next Spider-Man, but she is bound to be better than everyones pre-whining is making her out to be.

Pre-whining. So many new words are invented because of fanboys, or fangirls.

Let me clarify.
I was talking about bringing back Kathy Kane in general in any occupation.

They can write a Batwoman. I think it's awesome and I even like the costume.

They want to write her as a lesbian? They can.
I'm not against homosexuality but I'm not interested in it either. That doesn't stop me from buying YA or Runaways.

The concept of 'Batwoman' is sound but I hate the concept of bringing Kathy Kane back.

- - -

I do ask that in the future you don't jump down people throats because they voice an opinion. If you want an explination, ask for it. If you want to generally prove all the people wrong and admonish them for their views don't make it personal, i.e. don't quote people.

You make it difficult to voice any kind of opinon on these boards because whenever anyone does you answer with a sacastic biting post that normally is for everyone in general and not just that one person.

I wasn't whining, just stating an opinion. Next time you make a blanket statement, please don't quote another persons when you do it, because it makes it personal.

If I want to 'knock' an idea before it 'hits the stands' I should be able to if I want. And I should be able to do it without you posting the internet version of a ruler slap to the hand because of an intangible opinion.

Please try to be a little more understanding in how you react and reply to people.

The engineered shapechanger who became an angel? That's the best spin-off of Supeman's character? And let's not forget the cumbersome creation of Connor/Superboy, Cyborg Superman, Eradicator, and Steel.

It's too convoluted to be impressive. At least with Kathy Kane we just get a change in sexual preference.

When it's publicized this widely, yes. The general public prefer to have these things come in small doses.

Maggie Sawyer was just a minor character who never wore a costume. But when a homosexual assumes an hero identity based on a popular straight character - yeah,they'll cry heresy.

There was an openly gay superhero called The Rawhide Kid? You have to be sh**ting me.

I'm gonna be ragged for spamming but:

LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL
Yes it's true,.. they had a short on the RawHide Kid As A Homosexual in the Old West,... It had me rolling for all the double meanings flying around.

I enjoyed it for the shock value.

 

[WOLVERINE25TH]

That was actually a pretty good mini...

 

[Anubis]

Bah, people with their knee jerk reactions. People hated Superboy too when he first appeared. But by the time he died, there were teary eyed fanboys and Fangirls everywhere. I'll give her a shot. There are no bad characters, Just bad writers.

 

[BrianWilly]

^Exactly.

 

[The Batman]

i cant believe the media attention this is getting...lol

 

[Anubis]

Yeah, my father brought it up this morning like, they got a gay batwoman now?

 

[BrianWilly]

I saw a report about it on CNN at the gym...it was pretty dang random. They started playing some scenes from the Catwoman movie, of all things...

 

[Anubis]

Stupid effin non comic reading media.
