If they want diversity, lets demand diversity! I want a crossdressing comic hero/heroine NOW!

and also a transgendered [/SIZE][SIZE=+1]comic hero/heroine NOW!


hey, its all about being inclusive.
[/SIZE]

In all seriousness I'm for it!

In fact I'm for a Girl to Boy Transgendered! Go way out on the fringe!

Now THAT'S my kinda heroine!! Come an' rescue me gorgeous...

Let me put on my boots and I'm on my way!

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Hmm... boots with heels... and nothing else. I guess that'd be my kind of heroine, too.

 

[Super_Ludacris]

I just read about this a few days back. Funny yet interesting stuff

 

[yenaled]

Doctor Ocult is transgendered, technically.

 

[Zeu]

LOL

 

[yenaled]

Doesn't really work when Renee Montoya is also gay.

 

[Anubis]

there was also Rebis from Morrison's Doom Patrol. He/She was a hermaphordite.

i posted this in another thread and i figured i should post it here as well.

i saw this posted on comicbookresources.com:

I understand that the creative team behind the ongoing "Batwoman" series, to be launched later this year/early next year, will be Devin Grayson and Dustin Nguyen.

Devin is best known for her run on "Nightwing," though I have a lot of love for her "User" series from Vertigo. I probably wouldn't mention this, but as it's going to be a talking point, Devin is also a prominent bisexual comic book creator.

so, apparently it will be an ongoing series and they've already got the talent locked down. i like nguyen's work and grayson has had her moments on nightwing. all-in-all, not a bad creative team. we'll see what happens with this character. hopefully it turns out better than many expect it to.

 

[Anubis]

I might give it a shot.

 

[Prognosticator]

Kathy Kane's a lesbo?

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

I've got one thing to say about this...LAAAAAAAAAME! This is so "culturally diverse" that it's rediculously STUuuPID! Give me a break with this "lesbians are so bad-a" routine. And in the Bat-universe?!???

 

[sethcohen]

i just despise the idea of batwoman in general... ugh

Not a bad team, but not an earth-shattering one, either. I'll probably pass on it altogether.

yeah, it's not warren ellis and john cassaday, but it's a hell of a lot better than the current team on nightwing.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Well, yeah, but given that I don't like anything about Batwoman right off the bat, it'd take a majorly impressive team to get me to read. Nguyen's art is good but not really great in my book and Grayson tends to churn out a constant stream of satisfying but eminently forgettable stories, in my experience.

 

[sethcohen]

was there an overall demand for this character or something that im missing? ugh

 

[Prognosticator]

This 'cultural diversity' from dc isn't fun when it feels forced. but whatever...

fair enough. i'll give it a chance and if the first 5 or 6 issues suck, i'll probably drop it.

I don't really belive LITG for that rumour, it has been said by Dan DiDio that an ongoing isn't planned.

are you sure? i thought i remembered reading an interview with him or someone else from dc saying that it was going to be an ongoing, prior to LITG saying it.

Binker posted this on page 2:

NRAMA: Plans for her in the immediate future? Her own series, miniseries, appearances, or can it be said at this point?

DIDIO: One of the things that I would like to do with Batwoman in particular, because we feel that who she is and the development of the character is so unique to what we’re trying to accomplish in the DCU, but also to what 52 is about, one of the things I’d like to see, at least in the beginning, is to see her as a character who will be appearing primarily in 52. Them, we’ll be exploring things in different ways.

To use a Marvel reference, I always liked the way that Marvel introduced the Punisher. He started in Amazing Spider-Man, and had some really landmark appearances in Daredevil, and they allowed interest in him to grow. I think this is a character that can really benefit form appearing in different books first before we test the waters with her on her own.

NRAMA: And let the fan demand fuel a project?

DIDIO: Yeah. We’ve introduced a lot of characters in a very short period time, and we’ve got a lot more coming down the pipeline, but I’d like to believe that mostly everything we do now is coming out of other things so that we’re not just throwing books and ideas and concepts at people cold. I want it to be where it feels like everything has time to take root. Again, we’re throwing a lot of new ideas, and more importantly, things where people are already predisposed about how they think a character should act and behave. So I want to pull them in a little more slowly now, and get them acclimated to the new directions for the series and the characters themselves, and hopefully enjoy what we’re doing.

Therefore, when we do go bigger with series and stories, they’re ready for it, and, as the expression goes are coming out, “Because you Demanded It!”

 

[Nightwing 52]

Devin wouldn't have a problem "getting" the character. Her weakness is that she tends to crystalize them. She writes in caricature, making good observations about the characters in question, but taking those observations beyond their reasonable limits at times. It tends to snowball. That's why much of her short work--the Showcase Dick & Donna short, Arsenal, Batman and Arsenal, the start-ups to her series work, tends to be better. She gets to touch on what she sees in the character, bringing out wonderful details, without dwelling on it to the point of absurdity.

The team wouldn't be that bad at all for the book. As said before, Grayson had her time on Nightwing. I may give the book a chance, probably if the first arc sells well enough.

I agree with this post.

Devin in my book is "so so" on some terms. I like her work and style, and the Nighting run she had was one of the best compared to the one today that we have.

The whole "Batwoman" thing is getting a lot of attention, maybe a little too much. My dad even said that he couldn't believe it...which is a bit shocking. Overall, I may give her a bit of my money.
