Aww yeah Women Boxers!!
I think I have mentioned before that I took up boxing in March. This year will be the first year that women are allowed to box in the Olympics. HELL YEAH!  From feministing.com Aswe’ve mentionedbefore, a good century after the men did it, female boxers will compete in the Olympics for the first time this summer. That means that for the first time in Olympic history both men and women will be...

Actress Traci Thoms inspired a DC Comic character;...
dcwomenkickingass: Actress Traci Thoms has appeared on television’s Cold Case and Harry’s Law as well as on the movie screen in Rent and The Devil Wears Prada. But to superhero fans she may be most known for her role as Etta Candy in the much maligned 2011 pilot of Wonder Woman. The race blind casting of Thoms carried through to the comic world and in the new 52 as I pointed out to readers (and...

New Catwoman poster for The Dark Knight Rises
dcwomenkickingass: Warner Bros. is just peppering us with pictures. This one is found through a QR code on one of the earlier posters. And while we’ve seen lots of moody character shots lately this one is a bit different. We only see Catwoman’s steel high heel stepping on what looks like a batarang. The lipstick kiss and X X suggests, as have the recent commercials, that Catwoman will have a...

Why I loved Black Widow's portrayal so much
I was a little worried about how the sole Woman Avenger was going to be portrayed. Often, when there is just one woman in a group of two or more males, they become a prize to be fought over or won. I actually didn’t want her to have a romance storyline. Not that a female character having a romance storyline is a bad thing, but it’s a fairly cliche tactic that the lone lady gets...

I love lady archers. Artemis is my favourite character in Young Justice. I’m pissed that there can’t be an Atemis in the YJ universe and Speedy/Mia in the DCU-verse. I’m pissed that there are multiple Earth-whatever Supermen and Batmen and there can only be one Huntress. I am still pissed that Cass and Steph are gone and there’s absolutely no word from DC that I can...

Anonymous asked: Daken isn't that similar to his dad though. Infact, his personality is completely different from Wolverine's.

The DC Heroic House Style: How Boys and Girls Soar...
emoeyeliner: For Boys It is not difficult to find yourself or your beliefs in iconic heroic imagery. That’s one reason why comics culture consists of so many people who like to play dress-up at conventions. (Also, why sports fans wear warpaint and replica jerseys to ball games… What is “nerd”? But I digress…) We see ourselves in superheroes or, at least, what we believe, what we want and what...

The Replaceable Women
This past Wednesday, we had several revelations where female characters were essentially discarded for other female characters. In World’s Finest, Helena Wayne burns a passport of Helena Bertinelli and says in an offhand remark that the character died. It was a cold, callous, one-liner fridging.  Over in Teen Titans, female archer Artemis comes on the scene to greet Tim Drake. Never mind...
