What I've noticed from the Batwoman series is that it reads like the writers and editors really don't have much respect for lesbians.

I think this goes back to Rucka and Renee Montoya. It's like, "I'll make her a lesbian, it's such a terrible flaw, she can angst about it!"

I don't know, I don't really follow the book. But between the weird undercurrent of self-loathing and feeling like a freak in what I've read of it, and the characterizations and plot choices that get the attention, I wonder how rare they think dykes are.

I appreciate the drama hooks, but it comes off a little nasty to me. I think Palmiotti and Conner do better at girlfriends when they're just writing platonic buddies.

:(

DC at the moment has no respect for female characters in general. They have one or two good spots, Gotham Academy for instance, but mostly it is unremitting contempt and fetishization.

Elegy and a few following issues were so good and now it's ruined. /dramatic despairing to cover irritation

Really? Montoya is a great character, and she angsted a lot more over her alcoholism and violence issues than over being a lesbian.

I generally agree with your points, though - there's a weird fetishistic tone to a lot of LGB characters at DC.
