First (Proper) Appearance of Steph Brown in the DCnU!

One coloured but unlettered page from Leviathan Strikes!

Hm, interesting, that skull faced girl at the back seems to be wearing a variation of Kathy Kane's Batwoman costume.

	So out of all out this, what I noticed is the other students leggings are attached and the Stephanie's aren't. Going to hell. Don't care. (Reply to this) (Thread) (Hide 4 comments) (Show 4 comments)

	Those are not leggings, those are stockings. ...A lot of people don't know the proper technical terms for ladies' undergarments. This bothers me deeply. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Expand) (Hide 1 comment) (Show 1 comment)

	Stephanie Brown in DC came perilously close to dying at the hands of a man with a skull-like visage. Stephanie Brown in the DCnu, comes perilously close to dying at the hands of a woman with a skull-like visage. I see what you did there, DC.

	As I said below, I think that it's just a hazing thing for whatever it is at the school that Steph is investigating. Hence why she and the other girl don't look concerned over their possible hangings. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Expand) (Hide 1 comment) (Show 1 comment)

	In all honesty, I think that it's just some kind of hazing thing that the school has that's Steph's taking part in. Hence why Steph and the other girl don't look that concerned. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	Maybe I've I've been on the Internet too long, but it seems to be invoking the 'Women in Peril' motif, which is a major fetish in the comic book community. So that's probably why it irks me. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Expand) (Hide 15 comments) (Show 15 comments)

	I hope she has a Wakaba-like sidekick, or she won't make it through without proper support and mild hijinks! Honestly though, I glanced at that, looked at their uniforms and just went straight to the comments without thinking on it.

Actually, Stewart's already posted a good handful of panels and the like from this upcoming issue on his Tumblr, and given's it's meant to be an international school for assassins - as the original blurb declared when the issue was solicited - I think that explains the elaborate hazing rituals - I think the other panels have show Steph and the other girl in class, having either knives or guns shoved in their faces, that sort of thing. So I think it's meant to be like, some really severe induction thing to show that these girls are worthy of being assassins.

It also ties in nicely to the fake 'Original Batwoman' Kate Kane was chasing around and later found out to be tied to Scorpiana - Since all the girls are wearing Kathy Kane derivative costumes.

The Good: STEPH! Yay! Steph! I've missed you, Steph!

The Not-So-Good: It... bothers me that the first image we get of Steph in the DCnU shows her bound and with a noose around her neck. I know it's nowhere near the level of Golden Age Wonder Woman bondage imagery, but as others have observed... we could do with a little less of the Women in Peril trope.

I'm sure the panel will come across better when viewed in context, but... yeah. This image doesn't give me great feelings.

Also, what the hell private school requires students to wear miniskirts as part of their uniform?

If it's like the school I went to, they were issued knee-length :) We used to roll them up at the waist, and one or two more daring girls would have the hems professionally taken up. Of course, you got these skirts when you were eleven, and unless you gained/lost a lot of weight you'd still be wearing the same skirt when you were sixteen, by which point even and unrolled skirt looked fairly obscene.
