Remember when I said comic books were dying?

Coincidentally, I've always hated Batgirl. Original female comic characters, like Wonder Woman or Cat Woman, are always better than girl versions of popular male superheroes.

I guess I can understand that view, but when dark, scary Batman has a sidekick running around in bright colors and naming himself after a song bird, it makes Batgirl look pretty cool in comparison. I always liked that about her. Even back on the old Adam West show, she always seemed cooler than Robin

I think they did a good job making Batgirl stand out with the Oracle thing and Birds of Prey. Supergirl on the other hand has always just seemed like Superman with boobs to me though

Catwoman just doesn't appeal to me because she always seems more like the product of a marketing meeting than an actual character. Plus, she's kind of a stereotype now. The cool, sexy, female thief. I've seen that character in so many shows. They had one on Supernatural, one on Doctor Who. They're always seem like the same character type. Bragging about their thieving skills, using sex appeal to get what they want. Course, maybe Catwoman was the first. I don't know, but she doesn't seem to stand out much now

Oddly enough, I loved Tim Burton's Catwoman. She seemed to have a real reason for putting on the costume and seemed more like Bruce than any other version of her I've seen. She was on a vengeance quest driven by a tragic incident. She wasn't just thieving and wearing a costume because it's fun. The difference between her and Batman was that she was willing to kill. Plus, Pfeiffer was just awesome. Sorry, Halle Berrie

When the best thing you can say about a character is "She's better than Robin!" you still aren't saying much

No Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons? no deal.

[Nemoide]

And it's not like Alan Moore has dropped out of the comics industry entirely, he's still doing great work; it's just not as visible.

I dunno, did you read his Lovecraft miniseries? The first one was poor at best, but the end of the second one was disgusting. I couldn't read it anymore.

I actually loved Neonomicon, although I agree that it was disgusting.

Comic books are expensive now.

Comic books are expensive now.

New ones? Yes. Old issues? No, except for a select few here and there.

Interesting* that the same fans who cry foul at Lucas for raping his works for a profit are so eager to defend this....
*Ironic

Ah Jeez. Comic Books aren't dying, Lucas never "raped" anything, and these new Watchmen books could be a great read (can't judge a book you haven't read). I mean, some people thought Snyder ruined the book with the movie. Give it a shot first, and I promise it won't be as bad as:

And prepare yourself for Indy 5.
