It helps that the art emphasises the Kate-Alice duality in a way that calls back to the Batman-Joker dynamic, like the cover, or the first splash page. <br /><br />Every time I read an issue of 'Tec I wonder how much Greg Rucka's script influences the artistic style of the book.<br /><br />I like to think that the script says something like "Batwoman beats up a goon" and then JHW3 turns it into that lightning bolt fight page.Stefanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05167377071241015920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7679362097182696260.post-14778439791303228932009-09-27T00:22:06.718-05:002009-09-27T00:22:06.718-05:00Scott: It's not an exact copy, and Rucka pulls...Scott: It's not an exact copy, and Rucka pulls off the differences well enough that it helps raise it above what — for me, at least — is almost distractingly similar to a well-worn Batman story. But Rucka dodges his own trap pretty well, and I agree, Kate's background is refreshing and has got a lot of possibility. Overall, I'm digging the new Detective.<br /><br />Rob: It's beautiful stuff; almost every page deserves to be framed.Maxohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07748486083449206825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7679362097182696260.post-53499747710450156372009-09-25T21:37:32.618-05:002009-09-25T21:37:32.618-05:00Yep, I'd agree JHWIII is rocking on Detective ...Yep, I'd agree JHWIII is rocking on <i>Detective Comics.</i>rob!https://www.blogger.com/profile/17556471244882205031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7679362097182696260.post-73617011772661057452009-09-25T15:20:56.672-05:002009-09-25T15:20:56.672-05:00I'd quibble about Batwoman being a cookie-cutt...I'd quibble about Batwoman being a cookie-cutter version of Batman. I get a much more swashbuckler vibe from her, though it may be a bit grimmer swashbuckler than most of 'em. <br /><br />Her character as Kate Kane is also a lot more interesting than Bruce Wayne's, I think -- Bruce is Generic Handsome Rich Playboy; Kate is Gothpunk Rockabilly Army-Brat Lesbian...Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08836804977528685989noreply@blogger.com
