#3 You think they've already run this by Hollyweird for their multi-media game plan and future movie deal given how crappy tinsel town has been in coming up with scripts and writing beyond blockbuster movies based upon comic heroes. Guys, when your story lines match titles of crappy adult vids, you are in the institutional death spiral you not going to pull out of.

#5 "I know it was Batwoman, officer! She had long red hair, a sleeveless Bat-lumberjack shirt and vest, Bat Levis and Bat Birkenstocks, and a tattoo of 'Ellen' on her shoulder!"

#6 the costume is not complete unless it has the signature "Dullet" (dike mullet)

#11 Ya kno0w, this is proof that whole end of society has moved off onto its own and is completely ignorant of regular America.

Only those living in a big city bubble in the upper class social echo-chamber would beleive that this will be a "hit".

#12 I don't get it. Where's the wangst? I thought comic books these days needed lots of wangst to sell?

#13 Nothing like an action-packed, testosterone-loaded comic book.

#14 I think we need to go back to the true nature of the character.... Betty Page for Batwoman!

#15 This is a calculated move. They figure the title is dead so why not (a) possibly attract young boys to the title (b) earn kudos with the certain people because they are being 'risky'.

#16 ROTFLMAO, Frank and 'moose!

Gotta admit there are far more plaid shirts, Ellen tatts and dockers than stilletos. Still, a gyrl can dream.

#17 This character has been out there since about '04, even died once if I'm not mistaken.

They're just trying to pop more money out of a dying franchise.
