Musings from the commute

A thought occurred to me this morning on the way into work regarding the NuDCU and what they've done to Starfire and Catwoman which I think Jim Shooter summed up nicely as "The problem I have with Starfire is that she’s a device, not a character." Anyway, my thought is that it is causing a lot of dialog about how female characters are portrayed. I know the dialog is nothing new and that DC doesn't seem to be listening but I feel like Marvel is (at least a little) and perhaps other comic publishers. One can only hope I guess. I'd like to give my daughter super hero comics without worrying how her gender is presented.

Oh and I must add this, Why Cleavage Is Bad For Crime Fighting.
