I thought the script had a lot of clever bits in it and I’m very interested to see where the story goes. And I did like the art. It is sexy, yes, and I hated March’s Oracle covers. But I think that this is a good story for sexy art because these women are sexy. Oracle too, but not in such an obvious way. And I’ll continue to pick this up.

Indeed, it is possibly the least “sexy” comic involving three female leads wearing tight clothing I have ever read. Partly that is down the Jar Jar Binks like annoyingness of Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy is tough to do right (this certainly wasn’t – she’s so feckin’ nice!) – but even Catwoman was dull. It all came across to me like some kind of dull slumber party. Indeed, in that respect it reminded me of Jill Thompson’s At Deaths Door, which lead me to assume it was specifically aimed at teenage girls. Not being a teenage girl (at least, not any more), I didn’t really feel qualified to comment on its quality, other than that it clearly wasn’t for me.

As for all those arses, I think I missed them because I was too busy flipping through the pages.

Agree that Detective Comics was a totally different experience. Indeed, this came as a bit of a surprise to me – I assumed from the marketing that it was going to be little more than an exploitative cash in. Delighted to be wrong in this respect.

BZZZT, possible wrong-buzzer if Matt Hollingsworth is currently working (possibly on Daredevil iirc?)

I didn’t like ‘tec massively; I think it did a decent job of actually making, finally, a character of Kate Kane, Batwoman but – despite having read almost the entirety of it, including the first appearance of Whisper a’Daire in Rucka’s prior run on the book – I am almost entirely nonplussed by the by now interminable Crime Religion arc.

Lovely art, yes, of course.
