A Mere Shadow of the Post It Could've Been (and Once Was)

Grumble, grumble, grumble. My computer ate my post. I'd intended to note this Newsarama post that referred to this New York Times story about the growing diversity of characters at DC and Marvel. As part of the story, the Times noted that DC would soon introduce a new Batwoman, one who will be a lesbian--and not just any lesbian, but "a wealthy, buxom lipstick lesbian" (that's the best kind!). I was further going to link to this second Newsarama post that follows up on some of the issues raised in the Times piece. So I've done all that again. But I'd also planned to write some pithy asides and commentary about all that, and I'm afraid that's not coming at this point. I may get a chance to revisit this tomorrow, but I'll have to see. The good news is that now you can offer your own pithy asides and commentary by leaving a comment. Have at it!
