Some thoughts about Batwoman #16

Will Batwoman fight Batman for her sister?

Alice is ready to cause even more damage and Bruce needs to stop her no matter what and Kate simply can't allow that.

Boy, this book is not only boring now but also plain wrong.

For some reason Marguerite Bennett thought that a forced conflict between Batwoman and Batman was what she needed to do to make this story more exciting which is pretty predictable in and of itself. What makes it even worse though, is that Bruce is wildly out of character here being incredibly confrontational and insensitive towards Beth's condition which presents so many contradictions to how his character has been handled all these years that it just mindblowing how Bennett thought this could be a good idea.

Oh, and Batwoman ends-up defeating Batman which is fine, it can happen.

What I just don't think it can happen is that he's petrified by the sound of the gun that killed his parents. I mean WHAT THE HELL WERE THEY THINKING?! This is even ridiculous for comic book standards and makes Bruce's character even worse considering his past with his parents is already too prominent in his portrayals, he doesn't need the extra issues of a mere gun sound being able to stop him.

Fernardo Blanco's artwork remains stellar thanks to his creative panels and beautiful storytelling.

Aside from that, please be over already.
