I could be way off but it occurred to me that Kate Kane and Carol Danvers have a lot in common. To those who are more familiar with Batwoman or Captain Marvel, please correct me if if I'm wrong. They both have military backgrounds. They both strive to be great leaders. They both have this... fierceness to them. Only one is darker thematically than the other. But I feel like Kate is a better version of Carol. I feel like DC has accomplished with Kate the things that Marvel has tried to do with Carol. Kate is a leader who demands even Batman's respect, and she does it almost effortlessly. Kate is growing in popularity. I don't ever find myself wondering when someone is going to get her right. Yes, there are a number of things here that can be debated. There is also room here, I think, for a good discussion on both characters. It doesn't have to be a competition between the two - let me stress that. I'm just holding them up, side by side, and taking a look at them. So...
Are they really so similar?
What are their similarities?
What are their differences?
Is one a better version of the other?
I was thinking earlier of how fun a Cindy Moon and Cassandra Cain team-up might be. I think Batwoman and Captain Marvel might be just as interesting to see happen.
