Batwoman Book Club, Week 3 of 4: Batwoman (2011) #12-24 & 0

March 20, 2018 by krisis

Welcome to the penultimate week of Batwoman Book Club!

Today we discuss the latter half of the J.H. Williams III and W. Haden Blackman New 52 run on Batwoman! FanGirl and I both felt like the wheels came off this run after a weirdly stoic story-book plot with Wonder Woman and a muddled climax battling the mythical Medusa in Gotham.

This embed is the first of two parts of our Week 2 discussion – each video ends with a link to the next part.

Batwoman Book Club, Week 2 of 4: Batwoman (2010) #0 & (2011) #1-11

March 13, 2018 by krisis

Welcome back to another week of Batwoman Book Club!

Today we discuss the first half of the J.H. Williams III and W. Haden Blackman New 52 run on Batwoman, which I first reviewed here on CK way back in 2011! Hear how Williams and Blackman push Kate Kane into a much more mythological and horrific place in Gotham than Batman usually occupies. Plus, discussion of Maggie Sawyer vs. Cameron Chase, sex intercut with violence, and if Batwoman ought to kill.

This embed is the first of five parts of our Week 2 discussion – each video ends with a link to the next part.

Batwoman Book Club, Week 1 of 4: Detective Comics #854-863

March 10, 2018 by krisis

After some technical difficulties earlier this week, I’m proud to present the first week of our Batwoman Book Club!

The format of this round of Book Club is slightly different than the last two rounds. FanGirl and I are pre-recording our discussions rather than live-streaming, which allows me to do fun things like break the video into segments, insert the interior pages we mention, and occasionally turn FanGirl into an anime character with hearts for eyes.

This embed is the first of four parts of our Week 1 discussion – each video ends with a link to the next part.

This first week sees us covering Batwoman by Greg Rucka and JH Williams III in its entirety. It was Batwoman’s first solo story, and nearly a decade after its release it still feels like the pinnacle of superhero comics craft.

In our videos, we spend time discussing Batwoman identity as a lesbian, the color looks from Dave Stewart that separate the many parts of Batwoman’s life, why speaking entirely in Alice In Wonderland quotes can be a bad thing, and why you can get away with more tragedy as a writer when your characters have agency.

Batwoman Book Club: Introduction & Syllabus

March 6, 2018 by krisis

FanGirl and I were meant to kick off our Batwoman Book Club today, but the video streaming gods were set against us. While we get the kinks worked out of our new process to get the full book club video up later this week, here’s a quick discussion of the material we’ll be covering this month.
