Kate Kane: Batwoman Appreciation 2018

[Caivu]

This was a small moment, and in context it was kinda rushed, but I appreciated the Bensons including this:

Before Rebirth, Kate had worked alongside Barbara in some capacity more than almost any other character, so it's fitting that Babs was the one to convince her. A pretty good (if subtle) nod.

Now all I want is a reference to World's Finest, now that Wonder Woman's here.

Another card, and this one's mostly correct!

I'm hearing from the January solicits that K. Perkins might be on for an issue. I hope it's not a permanent change, since I both like Bennett's story and Perkins's Kate is... not good, based on the last Holiday Special. And it's not like Perkins is the writer to boost the series, if for some ridiculous reason DC is deciding to change the writer now.

Interesting. I'm NOT a fan of Marvel-style "Nothing Will Be The Same Again." I'm reading Tec because I love the characters and really like Tynion's writing. This solicit actually makes me want to read it less (not that I'll drop the series - haha - wild horses couldn't make me drop it at this point).

Perkins...that's a very strange choice, in terms of having a fill in writer. Doesn't seem like a really necessary choice, unless Bennett's overwhelmed and they already had an inventory issue by Perkins in the can.

The thing of it is, Kate's the kind of character who can have these sort of huge things happen with her at the epicenter or thereabouts, provided it's all handled well. And I think it has been and will be, based on what I expect Kate's going to do in a few issues.

By the way, here's the #973 cover:

I don't think it's that sort of situation, since this issue is supposedly happening on New Year's, just like issue #10 will. I know Bennett's on a bunch of books and she loves Kate, so I'm guessing this is a temporary thing due to her workload. I'll ask her about it.

I guess I have to ask if Bette Kane - in any of her incarnations has such a card?

I know of at least two.

In other news, K. Perkins confirmed that her Batwoman issue is just a one-shot.

I thought you might post them. I can't (firewall) but I can put one in my avatar and have done so. Long live Batwoman, no matter who is under the mask!

I'll post them in Bette's thread later.
