“Batwoman, Volume 1: Hydrology”

“I have a weird problem with these Bat Family characters.

Okay, here’s the deal.

Batwoman appears to be her own person, have her own operation, and really has no ties to Batman. In fact, Batman approaches her about joining the team and she turns him down.

What the hell?

Okay, imagine you are the head of Pepsi. And some dude starts running around saying, “I’m a crime-fighter, and I’m called Pepsi Man!” Would you just figure, Hey, whatever? I’ve spent decades building this brand, but if some fool wants to jump on the wagon, the more the merrier?

Hell no!

So I don’t get this. I would think Batman would say, “Listen, feel free to run around on rooftops and kick people in the face. But quit doing it with a bat theme.”
