I thought this was just another throw away villain, but her cameo in Forever Evil and the multitude of fan art I have seen of her suggests she has some degree of popularity. What is your opinion of this character and where do you think she is headed?

So is the White Rabbit the most popular new Batman villain since Prof. Pyg?

White Rabbit, for me, was an awkward and too simple visual, combined with an interesting concept, that mostly failed to come off because that series was so awkwardly handled at the time, between re-dialoguing, dropped storylines, dropped plots halfway through issues, and other messes.
Patsy Walker on TV! Patsy Walker in new comics! Patsy Walker in your brain! And Jessica Jones is the new Nancy! (Oh, and read the Comics Cube.)

She's popular?
I dunno, I guess it's just down to fanservice.
EDIT: And to be honest I'm sure Snyder's Court of Owls/Talons are probably more popular.

I'm with LoneNecromancer, she's popular? I'm not sure a bunch of people who just like to draw women in their underwear on deviantart liking her makes her the most popular anything since anything.
Don't get me wrong, I think the whole can't be caught thing is an interesting take on a Batman villain, but she's amounted to nothing.
Again, I think people just like cleavage...

She's popular from a T&A aspect. Beyond that . . . ?

That's probably it.

Jaina was a great romance for Bruce, too. Had that been given more room to breathe...Patsy Walker on TV! Patsy Walker in new comics! Patsy Walker in your brain! And Jessica Jones is the new Nancy! (Oh, and read the Comics Cube.)

Aside from the gratuitous fanservice aspect, I heavily doubt she's that popular.
And quite frankly, I still don't understand what the hell was up with the character. So she can split into two people...she seems to have some kind of personal interest in ****ing around with Bruce/Batman...she seems to be un-catchable...and I didn't get much beyond that. So what's her deal?
(Oh, and Professor Pyg's popularity still mystifies me. Sure, the concept is kind of interesting, but somewhere down the line, the execution just veered off into "look how completely nuts this guy is".)Last edited by The Red Monk; 06-07-2014 at 07:22 AM.

Not sure if she is technically popular. She has made a couple of appearances outside the initial story arc like in shots in Villains Month and so on. Don't think she has amounted to anything... at least not yet. But I am intrigued by the concept namely a villain who manages to essentially outruns Batman in a sense. Personally, I would like to see some of the chemistry that old Batman had with Catwoman with White Rabbit. Not in a romantic sense but that... dynamic that is currently (to me at least) lost between the two. There is potential there... and I don't say that because of her costume
Just think there is always potential in most villains.

That's because she does belong there. Originally Posted by ABH-1979

....She's Popular?
Seriously, when I think of White Rabbit. I think of this Gal:
Ironic that she was a Steel Villain

I don't know anything about this^ character, but that's already a cooler design (if a bit dated). Originally Posted by Dr.wonderful

What has she done other than run around in underwear?

Only first seven issues and cover of 8 of Dark Knight Volume 2 & Forever Evil event and Arkham War Crossover, but then again, the latter is purely out of cramming as many Bat-Villains in there for an ensemble of villainy, and the former, I've enjoyed them enough, pumping with art & action, but even there, the bigger story, was with Scarecrow and Bane, with a host of other established Arkham escapees, in drug-steroids.
