Batwoman (DC Comics) WIP 1
The original Batgirl was never really one of my favorites. When I was first reading coming it was with Cassandra Cain and Stephanie Brown. That said, when Batwoman came around I was intrigued. Greg Ruka is an excellent writer and I wanted to see what he would do with it. And what he did was crazy. Batwoman was t’s own thing and fir into the bat world in a very different way than anyone else. She was down to earth and, in a way, more realistic than the big bat but at the same time she was immediately thrust into some of the weirdest and darkest corners of the DC universe. The religion of crime and the monsters from the deep. It was cool and different and I liked it.
The visuals were a mixed bag for me. I dug the costume but one particular choice left me scratching my head. Why on earth is Kate that pale? Seriously, unless she’s an albino no skin should be that pale. I could maybe go with it if it were something that she put on as part of the costume to throw people off further, she wears a wig with it too, after all, but no. That’s just her skin tone. And the new show has made the very interesting choice of giving her a flip of hair that goes over the front of her mask. I can’t even. I’m just going to have to redesign this thing myself.
