I love this guy's style and I really like what he's done with Renee so was looking forward to this, and the Batwoman sketch is definitely great (though annoying for me as I'm supposed to be going to DragonCon as Batwoman-Also Poison Ivy and Knockout, with my girlfriend going as their girlfriends-and the costume will be the old one) but 'Kathy' is just... wrong.
Personal opinion, of course, and if she were some new character I may even like her look but.. well, I agree with whoever was asking about 'wasn't she called Kate now?' because I always get annoyed when people call her Kathy and have to say 'Noo! Kathy was the OLD Batwoman, the new Batwoman goes by Kate.' And now, they seem to be calling her Kathy again..
I agree with people saying they introduced her as a socialite and should go with that. This is quite a big statement to make but with the alternitive thing I almost feel like they're trying to say 'oh yeah, she's a lesbian so we'd better make her more alternative.' As a feminine (naturally redheaded) lesbian, I personally loved Kate when she was introduced in 52 because, again I reiterate it's just me being a fangirl but, she's like me! I'm currently finishing my performing arts degree and just created my entire final project on the perceptions of feminine lesbians. So while they're probably not trying to make her more lesbian by punking her up, to me it almost feels that way, or at least I would prefer she stay the sexy socialite. She fit so well with Renee like that, their differences made them great together. This new Kate looks too much like a teenager. And weren't her eyes blue before?
