Red Hood Lost Days #3

[benicio127]

This and seeing Wade/Outlaw in Deadpool #1000 made me So. So. Happy.




So Jason is training under a martial arts expert who he later finds is trafficking 10-year-old kids in a sex trade.

He kills the man by poisoning his energy drink and brings the kids to the British Embassy. Meanwhile, Talia is stalling him from his mission against Bruce. He sits down and talks with her afterwards.

That's what I've been saying all along!
What did you think about Talia saying she was sleeping with an insubordinate?
I know some fans seem to be having a problem with it because of her obsession with Bruce, but my God, she's not obsessed with him to the point of Harley Quinn is obsessed with the Joker (and even still, there's A LOT of suggestions in canon that Harley and Ivy get busy while the Joker's gone).

To me, it makes a more well-rounded character and it does seem a little morbid that she's only ever going to have sex with Bruce. I need to read more Talia stories, but I see her as being a 'get what I want' kind of person.

All I've gotta say is hell, girl's got needs, she's not getting it from Bruce. Let her do what she wants. I think the fact that people are even complaining about it is a little skeevy. The whole "ohh~ she must save her ~~~delicate flower~~~ for her one~~ true~~ loooovvvee~~~~" is, for one completely ridiculous, and two, always seems to be put on the woman. It's the whole fetishization of the virgin concept and keeping a clamp down on female sexuality. I spit on it.

I'm going to make two guesses about these fans. Are they a) probably dudes and b) over on CBR? If so, well there you go then.

LOL yes to both of those...

[whitesycamore]

Ewwww.... Yeah, I've just read that thread. CBR is very much one of those places where all sexuality is a problem unless it's a). male and b). straight.

I mean, check out the guy who thinks it's somehow equivalent to Huntress being used as a notch on Arsenal's bedpost, Jesus. I will never understand people who think sex is inherently degrading to women.

I know, did you see that thread about "Batman being used by the *gay* community"?
I was just like FFFF THIS THREAD. *POSTS SLASH PICTURES BITCHES*

I mean there's so much homoeroticism in comics, you'd have to have blinders on not to see it.

I love that Talia's got something on the side and isn't pining away for Bruce. She can have her heart belong to her "Beloved" and let the rest of her have some fun. Pablo Raimondi draws a very hot Talia.

[benicio127]

I completely agree. The comments I've seen in regards to this very much seem to equate sex = love and for a lot of women, that's not what sex is all about. There's lots of reasons why women have sex. She can have sex with other people and still love Bruce.

It just seems so morbid that she saves herself for him, while he's busy being a playboy or having awesome sexy times with Selina.

[kingrockwell]

Yeah, this exactly.
