	Great bits and lovely art (kinda surprised the scans with Kate and Bette's disappearing/reappearing lingerie wasn't shown). I do wonder what Bruce's proposition is... (Reply to this)

I know, it was really surprising just to have those scenes in the first place (I guess Rucka was the one stopping that kinda cheesecakey thing, though Williams pulls it off well), but then to have that detail be messed up by someone who seems so meticulous about his work...wow. Well, everyone makes a fudge-up at least once. At least it's on Bleeding Cool for people to find.

	To which Sawyer would scoff, look a little offended, and reply, "I'm sorry, but what kind of woman do you take me for? I don't need to be drunk to want to get in your pants." (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	Didn't Maggie Sawyer used to be a Captain? Is this just a 'reboot' thing or has she been demoted for some reason? (Reply to this)

	Remember this is Bruce, not Dick--he probably knows she's gay, and would be all business with Kate either way. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	Uhm... so is that wall, like, a roster... or something. A roster of current. living. police-persons? Please? (Reply to this)

	Probably a reboot thing, but we don't know enough to be sure. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	Remember, she was originally from Metropolis. I guess they couldn't be bothered to come up with a new lesbian police officer at Gotham PD. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	There's a plaque at the bottom, though it's blank in the comic. Hopefully it's decorated police personnel. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

Whilst I'm all for the Batwoman character, she lost points by the repeated dissing of Bette who, if nothing else, is a character with roots and history that go back as far as hers (Yes, I know that Kate is sort of an analogue of Golden Age Kathy Kane, the way Bette is of Golden Age Betty, but the differences are more extreme)

Yes Kathy, we get it, you're the cool one with your own title, and yes Bette is a less intense character, but she HAS been doing it longer in this continuity (I think) and there's no need to be so dismissive.

	Or else Renee is believed dead, but really faked it to become The Question. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	Like immediately jumping to an image of Bruce, Kate AND Dick.... (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	It would be nice for Kate to recognize that, beneath all the flash and bravado, Bette is a competent crimefighter who could even teach her a thing or two. And if Bette can make her crack a smile while doing it, all the better. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	And since Kate is a distant relative of Bruce, "We Are Family" can be playing in the background! (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	That has nothing to do with the reboot though, she transferred years ago and worked at the GCPD at the same time as Montoya(well, joining there later than Montoya, but still). (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	Montoya's been at Gotham since 1992, since her creation. Sawyer didn't get to Gotham until 2003, and she was created in 1987. And in fact, she was originally originally from Star City . . . but that was information introduced after her creation. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	I figured she's trying to hold on to the last of her family as hard as she can, which will probably end up driving Bette away, or at least alienate her in the short term. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	Wasn't she Captain while Gordon was away from the police force and then she stepped down to make room for him once he came back? And then there were some inter-office politics messing that up.... Ok, that's it I give up, my mind is officially a mess in this matter. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	I know that Elegy has been collected, but does anybody know if the story after that is ever going to be collected too? (Reply to this)

	I know, I just read your comment as implying that Sawyer was brought to Gotham as a reboot-related somehow. Or was I off? (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	Just ask the internet, Bruce doesn't really do "all business" with everybody. Robins, Superman, WW, he gets around online. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)
