"I've been informed that there ARE a couple of QAnon supporters who are fairly regular posters in AJB."
I've watched a few reviews of " Batwoman" ( I've not see the show ), In a few sequences,
It shows our hero, basically using force on a caretaker, who's looking after Bruce Wayne's
Home etc.
My question about this is, why bother changing the sex of a character, just to then write
them exactly as if they'd remained a man ?
To get information from the caretaker, She twists his arm and applies force. Now I'm no
expert but I think it would have been more interesting/entertaining to have our Female
Hero use other means of getting this info. Perhaps by word play, outsmarting the caretaker
in to divulging the information.
In my opinion changing the sex of a character is just virtue signalling, if you then don't
put the work in developing your character.
"I've been informed that there ARE a couple of QAnon supporters who are fairly regular posters in AJB."
Batwoman is not Batman with a sex change, she is a spin-off character first introduced in Detective Comics 233 (July 1956). In the current comics there are literally dozens of spin-off characters in Gotham City inspired by Batman's example.
Yes, I had heard of her, MY point is the show is written as if she was MAN.
I'm not arguing about anything other than, He handles situations like a man,
deals with villains like a man, Hell she probably even pees standing up
A woman is not simply a Man without a penis, there are so many
different aspects and methods that women can use to defend themselves
and deal with situations, women think differently to men. So if they are
going to do a series like this, they should spend the money on better writers.
"I've been informed that there ARE a couple of QAnon supporters who are fairly regular posters in AJB."
I'm willing to accept your superiority in Comic book knowledge, I have a
passing interest in Batman, having watched all the animated series ( Hence
knowing about the annoying Bat-mite ) and watching the animated Movies
like Batman: Gotham by gaslight and Batman : The killing Joke.
My point ( admittedly perhaps badly made using Batwoman as the example )
Was, that I think it's lazy of writers to write female characters as Men and not
go the extra mile to write them as competent, complex and layered individuals.
Although I'll drop it now as I don't want to get all preachy.
How do you feel about the comic industry, as from what I've read Both Marvel and DC
are in real trouble with a huge drop in sales, comic shops closing and even the main
distributor going out of business ?

There is of course Harry Hole. I can also mention Varg Veum, Bergen's noir style private detective. Unlike all American PI's he has a background in the child welfare services, known as "Barnevernet" in Norway and in eastern Europe were thay are portrayed as astate kidnap agency.
We also have a version of Hardyboy's favourites - The Hardy Boys. Ours are called Pelle and Proffen.
Crime fiction has become a cottage industry here, often litterary. There are incredibly many fictional detectives, and I don't know most of them. I'm willing to bet there are more fictional muders than real ones each year in Norway.

actually I think theres a problem with the Batman movies and other DC films and teevee shows in general. The ultraviolent morally ambiguous style of the Nolan/Bale films was their biggest success in decades, and distinguished the DC films from the more colourful Marvel films. So they've milked that style for adaptations of other characters, and I don't think its always appropriate, especially for Superman or the Justice League.
As I say, I've not seen the BatWoman teevee series either, but I would not be surprised if they were to be copying the Batman film formula as close as possible, without distinguishing BatWoman as her own character.
But someone who's actually watched the show would have a more relevant opinion.

Our local comic shops have closed to walk-in traffic, like all other non-essential businesses, though a couple of the biggest ones are doing deliveries and curbside pickup. Thats gotta be a loss-leader strategy to retain customer loyalty, because theyre not getting new product in.
The comic shops have been in trouble for a longtime. Most folks who go in them are middle aged men, not kids. The smart ones try to attract a new generation of fans, but kids today have many more interesting distractions compared to when I was a lad.
And the weird irony is that despite the dominance of comic book properties in mainstream films and television, that has had almost no effect on making film-fans actually interested in the source material.
I just checked wikipedia: it looks like Diamond Distributing has suspended deliveries until all the quarantines end, so they're still in business, just dormant for the moment.
But a lot of more marginal comic shops will not be able to survive the enforced shutdown or lack of new product. Their business plan is dependent on weekly release of new issues, not back catalog.
And that extended loss of sales may also effect the publishers. I think DC is more vulnerable than Marvel, and gets less support from its parent company.
So yes, reason for comics fans to be worried.
I know there was one hell of a fuss over Batman Killing in Batman v Superman.
Although I enjoyed Ben Affleck's Jaded, tired Batman. I remember at the
end of The Dark night Rises the whole cinema Broke in to a round of Applause.
It's sad to see an entire range of literature namely Comic Books die out. Or
almost die out. I had a nephew who found reading very difficult, but he got
in to comics and through reading them, his reading improved.

Today it's one year sine the Notre Dame in Paris burned. Here is the winning design for the rebuilding of the catherdral. I'm not sure it's the best I've seen, but I like it:
I think the roof is mostly mirrors, but it's bound to be metal there too.
After further reading design didn't win the official cometition, but it won the popular vote.
I still think this design has the right idea. This isn't the first time Notre Dame burns. Each time they rebuildt it, often in the style of when the fire happened. I think they should build something that's different from what was before this fire, but keep the oultline or profile the cathedral had.
I'm sure on sunny days it will glimmer, I only hope the rays coming off it
don't blind office worker in the surrounding area. In London a building with
a concave design on one side produced enormous amounts of heat, scorching
cars and other buildings, as it was basically a giant magnifying glass.
"I've been informed that there ARE a couple of QAnon supporters who are fairly regular posters in AJB."
Possibly. I was thinking of that too. I think my absolute favourite is this one: It has a greenhouse where people can walk around in the space between the ceiling and the roof, what was called "the forrest" before it burned down.
Finally some good news for Higgins! Berlin Brandenburg Airport opens up in October, only nine years and lots of Euros late. This airport has done more to stop Germany's uncharming reputation of efficiency and being coldly calculating than anything else ever. It even starts up in the middle of an international travel ban. Congratulations

as a great man once said " Never Rub Another Man’s Rhubarb! "
But I am a comic book fan, and thought I could help with a comic book question.
I think the real answer is Batman is DC Comics' most profitable property, so they market all the spin-offs they can.
you know your Batman spinoff characters better than I would have guessed!
I'm not sure BatMite ever had his own series, but I'm sure would have his own distinct style of solving mysteries.

This story put a smile on my face.
150 bottles of hand? I've never been to a British supermarket and now I'm very happy about that
He says that it isn't easy to watch his own films.
Also, i think people were sending him questions he'd been asked before.
" I don't listen to hip hop!"
I thought he looked rather uncomfortable doing it.
