I like the Wonder Woman costume here. It's so deliberate. I don't know what precisely is deliberate - does he just want that visual of Batman kissing Wonder Woman? Is he trying to implicate Wonder Woman as a fetish concept? Was he like, "oh, she's bound and she's sort of a female superhero, wink wink"? - but it's definitely something.

To be honest, I don't have that big an issue with Selina's prostitution in Y1 - I don't care for the story either way and from where I'm standing, it's just Miller being Miller, and after a while you sort of start to pity him. It could have been just a blip on the radar, y'know? What fills me with rage is that, post-ZH, we got an utterly gorgeous and totally appropriate retcon to that, a clean, perfect, perfectly Catwoman story that made absolute sense for everything she became and the role she plays in the mythos.

And then everyone after went right back to Miller's drooling idiocy, with that feverish desire to be even more droolingly idiotic. Like... it's not even the gender stuff, because, aggravating as it is, it's also something I expect most comic writers, even the really good ones, to just completely not notice. It's the fact that the ZH reboot is simply a better story, which fits far better with her characterization and behavior. It's hard to believe that anything short of active malice could drive someone to go back to Miller after that, much less try to top it.
