This is part of the reason I hate DKR so much.

Selina as a fat, washed-out madame with horrible make up. Augh!

Much as I love Year One... *stabs Miller*

Actually, I"m thinking of putting up some scans for some kind of Batman Elseworlds week in the near future and Selina is a fat madame in Batman: Nine Lives. *sniff*

But still.. loving the Bat/Cat week(s)!!!

Ah! But you see, she's running a cathouse. A cathouse. Get it? Get it?

...

Well. At least it's not _just_ Miller doing whoreswhoreswhoreswhores.

Oh I got it. ;-P

While I haven't read DKR (It's being sent to me by a friend tho), I kinda get the feeling I'm going to be worried about what Miller does. I just have this sense with him -- and I know I'm not crazy about this one -- that something in his work just makes me think "demonization of gay people." (on top of whoreswhoreswhores)

It's not just me who thinks this, right? Right? Right?

FWIW, I have the book from back when it first hit trades. Miller had not gone *completely* cuckoo nutso then, though there are hints of what's to come.

I don't remember any really major demonization of gay people in general unless you count the oft-done Ho Yay with the Joker. (I don't really remember what Bruno's deal was apart from looking butch and not wearing much up top besides tattoos.)

Yeah. Maybe it is just me.

(Damn you S_D! And here I thought the community motto was infallible!! NOOOOOOOO!)

No, no, he's definitely got some sexuality issues mixed up in there. It's hard not to when you've got that many woman issues; the two are pretty inextricably linked, both being fundamentally about a skewed sense of gender roles and relations.

Thank you!
I knew it wasn't just me. I just feel like even tho Miller and Moore were writing at the same time, Moore was an artist attempting to advance gay rights/advocate in his own way, whereas Miller... well... yeah. You get my drift.

ALL HAIL THE HOMOGAY AGENDA!

Motto. Before I knew more about Miller, I had read this and it majorly pissed me off.
