Batwoman is a PERFECT match for his gritty, realistic art. Unfortunately, with her being such a big part of Detective, Batwoman's own title suffered because they just couldn't do much with the character. It's sort of like how Marvel's main Star Wars title suffers because the creative team has their hands tied by the character's actions in the movies and such, so they can't do too much that really matters. <br /><br />That said, you're absolutely on the money about DC not promoting Batwoman. Hopefully they will do a better job of it in the future and not let a great character fall to the wayside. <br /><br />Don't think this is just about Batwoman, either. In my humble opinion, DC has dropped the ball on EVERY character in the Bat-Family since Rebirth began. From Batman all the way down to Anarky. Top to bottom, no exceptions.Atom from Longbox Junkhttps://longboxjunk.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8557726951171561616.post-41438657932364139392018-05-16T23:04:19.590-04:002018-05-16T23:04:19.590-04:00Thanks, Jim.

I may not be enjoying it as much as you, but I respect that. I will try to go back and read it all at once...maybe reading it for the podcast with a bunch of other books messes up the flow as well.Jim Wernerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12307419602315578911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8557726951171561616.post-47786781445282352732018-05-16T17:49:36.003-04:002018-05-16T17:49:36.003-04:00I just don't know what you want from it.

It's not what *I* initially thought it would be, but I rolled with it, and found a pretty deep character piece on Kate, one that's accomplished by putting her through the grinder.<br />I'm honestly not surprised it seems like it doesn't exist, since DC doesn't promote it really at all. I sure don't mind doing their job for them wherever I can, cause this series is worth it.Isaachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09191257454957144888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8557726951171561616.post-39210840780273552222018-05-16T16:50:57.521-04:002018-05-16T16:50:57.521-04:00I know you are a fan, but I need something better ...I know you are a fan, but I need something better than this as a fan. This is one of the worst paced books in Rebirth and I think one of the biggest problems of Rebirth is overall pacing. I talk to a ton of people every day about every single book and you are the only one who ever has anything to say about this book. It's like it doesn't even exist. I have liked bits of the series more than Dan, but I know he is a huge fan of Kate and is really frustrated with this book.Jim Wernerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12307419602315578911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8557726951171561616.post-7702081317401514352018-05-16T16:48:07.579-04:002018-05-16T16:48:07.579-04:00and the court of owls has been used in Nightwing a...and the court of owls has been used in Nightwing and Green Arrow in Rebirth.

Is Tom King using the Court of Owls, for example?<br /><br />The answer here, I think, would be the increased tempering of Kate's mind above all else.

The lost year went on for way to long and did nothing for the character, the inclusion of Julia Pennyworth was a complete waste and besides the art, I can't think of anything to recommend. I would take any of the New 52 over this. The sales just keep going down and rightly so.Jim Wernerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12307419602315578911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8557726951171561616.post-3533604646424390062018-05-16T01:30:49.260-04:002018-05-16T01:30:49.260-04:00Better hurry up...rumor is it's over in 3 more...Better hurry up...rumor is it's over in 3 more issuesJim Wernerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12307419602315578911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8557726951171561616.post-74056818266740516912018-05-16T01:25:44.654-04:002018-05-16T01:25:44.654-04:00And once again, I strongly disagree and remain con...And once again, I strongly disagree and remain confused as to what you've wanted from this series.<br /><br />This was great. We got to find out more about Beth's journey to becoming Alice, and saw Kate start to shed the slump she's been in.
