cyberghostface: (Batman & Robin)
[personal profile] cyberghostface posting in [community profile] scans_daily


I figured I'd post one more Batman comic for today. It's from Detective Comics #747. It's a nice little one-shot (although it leads into something else) and also serves as a bit of a counterpoint to some Batdickery.

It's Renee Montoya's 29th birthday and things aren't going too well for her. She finds something on her desk.






She goes to the florist and finds out that the person who sent her the flowers was Bruce Wayne. She goes to confront him about it, saying that he doesn't even know her.





Later...

I always liked Harveys crush on Renee. It was a neat character trait.

It also has a level of creepy obsessive male to it, but I suppose that is inevitable with crazy villains.

True it is creepy and twisted...but thats kinda the beauty to it. His crush on Renee was one of the more humanizing aspects of Harvey (something that is...rare..among Bat Villians). Its at its core purely innocent but Harvey is so fucked up that he can't help but manifest it as obsessive and stalkerish.

I think the whole Murderer/Fugitive arc took place after this, no? When Renee was one of the arresting officers of Bruce and Sasha Bourdeux and had them thrown into jail on (in retrospect) flimsy evidence (especially on Sasha's case) and then later talking with Commissioner Aiken mentioned her doubts about Wayne's guilt (all the while Sasha was still rotting in jail). Part of the reason I hated that story was because it made it seem like Renee was a LOUSY detective who would be OK with innocents going to jail - something backed up by no other story arc she was ever involved in.
