yeah, a bit schmaltzy, but . . .

I love me a large-scale female hero team-up (Plus the old Batgirl costume) .

This one large-scale enough for you?

It looks like it's trying to be a large-scale female hero team-up but without enough ladies or good art to pull it off .

I actually really liked those issues

But I can't help but be impressed by how vast the roster of female character from DC is. Steve Orlando should be allowed to use them all, I always like his stories where he bring backs forgotten heroes.

Yeah, the issue with far too many comic book artists of only being able to draw a single attractive female body and a single female face sort of jumps out from that image. But the story was a fun romp. And it also had Lois Lane—I'm not sure how you can say that a story with Wonder Woman, Lois Lane, Catwoman, Black Canary, Poison Ivy, and Barbara Gordon doesn't have enough ladies. That's the core of DC's female characters, those that have been around for an entire lifetime.

Yeah. Marvel is far better at racial diversity than DC, but when it comes to female representation and presence, DC is arguably ahead even without including Wonder Woman and with DC's squandering of Oracle.

Maybe when it comes to Black representation, but I think DC is superior when it comes to Asian and Hispanic representation (on top of female and LGBT).

No argument there .

I mean, it's hard to top Black Panther.

(I know people want John Stewart to be DC's Black Panther, but Green Lantern is not Black Panther).

Black Lightning hasn't quite made it there, either.
