batwoman has come out of the cave

even though Batwoman died in the comics, DC, has decided to bring her back, as a lesbian this time.

i don't really pay attention to comics but i thought it was interesting.

Similarly related, anyone looking foward to the continuation of Batman Begins? ANyways, I think it's kinda awkward thye're making her a lesbian and those religious activists wouldn't be too comfortable with it lol

"Wouldn't ugly people as heroes be more groundbreaking?" asked one poster. "You know, 200-pound woman,
:screwy: what..? why....people read comics cuz they have cool, exciting people in them. if u want to see overweight women you'd go hang out at the mall or Curves.

Marvel > DC comics but batman is pretty sweet as for the dyke as batwomen....i think it is pretty stupid since in the interview the DC guy said it was a comic for all ages, i dont know about you but i wouldnt want my kid reading that

yeah. personally i don't really read comics and never really have. i knew about all the superheroes though. i don't know if the comic books are trying to cater to a different crowd or if it is trying to reflect how our society is changing. i thought it was interesting that they would come out with a homosexual comic hero. it reminds me of the comic that used to be on Saturday Night Live. I forget the name of it but it was two guy guys that rode around in a car shaped like a penis. it was hilarious

Now if Qute was overweight, that would be true, other than that, it just seems like you're just making a personal attack.

and for you mr wiggl3s, just cuz ur overweight doesn't mean u need to try and make weak, pathetic insults against me cuz i'm not. its just the internet and i'm not trying to impress anyone but calling me fat couldn't be any farther from the the truth. i workout to keep a flat stomach and toned body. when was the last time you did something like that? if u don't like how u are, do something about it.

Posting something like that will make you win a popularity contest?
That same statement can be applied to a minority and it will become a very racist statement.
Im just going to leave this at that

just shut up! it WASNT applied towards a minority. look around, fat people aren't the minorities. it wasn't a racist statement. it was just a comment. did you not just see the post i made? im fucking fed up with everything you have to say about me and what i post. why don't u take what u said in your sig to heart, "posts are provided as-is" and just piss off.

stfu, no oine cares what you have to say

Ok, so if someone would've said the samething she did, would you claim them as "trying to win a popularity contest"? Someone would've said exactly what she said sooner or later. People make those kind of sarcastic remarks all the time, just go with the flow and don't challenge people who've been here alot longer than you.

If the typical comic reader is anything like the comic store dude on The Simpsons, then making batwoman a lesbian is pure marketing genius. Those chick-less nerds will be all over it! :grinyes: :rofl:

i agree

what's so hot about lesbians anyways? not like ur getting any of that action. the best answer i got so far was that "its just a beautiful, beautiful thing" :confused:

because guys sometimes think they will somehow have sex with them, and end in a menage trois

Keep on topic or closed.

Why would the new Batwoman need to be lesbian? I know hetero women who are athletic and capable.

Are they trying to say a woman who can do what Batwoman does must be a lesbian, because they don't think hetero women could do it (or want to do it)?

She looks like some kind of dominatrix. :naughty: But it IS just a comic book, after all.

IMO it's neither. It is a promotion tool to stir up a bit of publicity and controversy to get people to discuss the company's comics (which seems to be working!!)

They did the same thing with, I think, Green Lantern???? gay, isn't he?

Also, it's differentiate the character from other female comic book characters and at least to attract some lesbian, (or just female) readers.

Also, as noted above, some guys like the lesbians...............:wink:

i think comics are a dying way anyway and this might just be either last attack or genius. either way, there will be a lot of talk and some maybe be intrigued or dismiss totally.

hmmm, i might just buy one of these comics.

i think it's just a marketing ploy. as they say "any publicity is good publicity" as long as they get people to talk about them and buy them, who cares whats in it? companies just want to make profit and if they need to involve homosexuality, that's what they'll do.

and i dont know why guys find lesbians and 3-somes hot. many of us just do, i cant give any kind of explanation, it's like why do we find breasts hot.
