>>98376972>A lot of the former is still there. He still wants to be human again because he considers himself to be a monster, and doesn't know if he'll be in control forever.Yeah, he wants to be human because "muh ugly exterior" and not because he's a literal, uncontrollable monster as Man-Bat instead of just doing Pyg and Toad's work. Not to mention the fact that he is practically forced into the role, instead of it being human failing.
>If anything, they brought him back to his original characterization as a tragic anti-heroPartially and only after completely gutting the rest of his characterization, stripping his "hero" turn of all its pathos and depth.
>That's an incredibly shallow reduction of the character, who is a foil to Batman's lack of control between his personas.Which is also Catwoman's role as a representation of Batman's primal, vigilante side.
>They don't have the same dynamic at all, since Batman pities her and sees too much of himself in her, which makes her more dangerous.And Batman tries to redeem her, much like with Catwoman.
>But he doesn't love her in the way he would Selina.Depending on the incarnation, Batman doesn't truly love Catwoman either, he simply feels an attraction to her and her "free spirit" lifestyle.
>Wait, so other, more unfaithful takes on her are suddenly valid? Why is it okay for other versions of Batman to change the characters, but not for Beware?Did I say it was valid? Or did I bring it up as yet another example of Beware's unoriginality?
