i may not have had time to write about it yet, but i have been making time to catch up on the brand spanking new DC universe that has been ruffling feathers since September '11.
ok, so nothing is further than the second issue as we speak, and i've been working my way through a handfull of the #1s after reading Flashpoint and making the decision to completely bypass Blackest Night and Brightest Day since they haven't even happened now anyway, oh wait, hang on, or have they, bloody hell, all this confusion needs to be saved up for a DC confusion specific post
what i wanna focus on here briefly is the role of females in the new DCnU
forget stuffing them in fridges and depowering them, the females characters that i have read so far have all basically been sex on legs, prancing around in underwear for the titillation of presumably teenage boys and lonely geek men as if they were some kind of 2D stripper, oh, have you read Voodoo?! that one actually is a 2D stripper....
again, i think i'll touch on the bigger problems elsewhere, but lets take a closer look at Catwoman shall we
how close do you want to get....
ok, so that is just the first page.
and since this is the DCnU, this is your introduction to Catwoman.
no wonder people are up in arms about this, we're being flashed more boob than we're seeing face and it kind of sets the precedent for what follows, until things get even more full on...
one thing i don't usually believe in is spoilers, yet i'm unsure if this spoils anything since the issue is low on story and high on the boob count...
so, what happens next, well, she escapes from her apartment, yet still hasn't managed to dress herself properly, she goes about her business tracking someone down, in disguise, but with her boobs hanging out, and by the end she is humping Batman... seriously, check out this blog for proof
and if you don't mind the prospect of having to burn your own eyes out, stick with me
c'mon, stay with me...
you ready...
aaaaaaarghhhhhhhhhh!!!
don't you just love simpsons fan-art inspired by overly sexualised comics.
i know that i don't.
sorry.
