I don't think that's Dick... but Bruce. Look at his logo, it's the classic bat-on-yellow. Besides, Bruce appears in the second page of this issue :P My guess? Bruce's story happened in the past and it's shown in a way it parallels what is happening to Batwoman in the present. 
 
My two cents, of course. 

this is confused me as well :S lol 
.....but wait a minute isn't bat woman getting a new ongoing series that will drawn by J.H . Williams III???? 
that's what i heard???

The artwork is familiar I don't remember what though.

I prefer their $2 bills. Feel free to mail them to us.

" @G-Man: I just went to Staple here in Austin, Tx and met Guy Davis.. I got a couple signed comics and a free sketch of lobster johnson. :) Sweet!! I was wondering If you could do a review of B.P.R.D. #3?  I would love to know what you and Babs think of this artist and this series? "

You didn't pick a good issue to review here. I've been following the Batwoman Detective Comics since they started. The first story was good and the art was a joy. The second one, "Go" was really really good and gave a great and emotional origin story of Batwoman. This one...... feels like filler. The cutter character seems like he could be an interesting villain but just isn't there yet. Why is he covered in knives? Why is he collecting parts of girls? etc. I think you should read the previous arc. Particularly if you are interested in the character's history. This issue doesn't give a fair representation of the series. 
 
Same applies to the question feature. I like the art (and if we are going to moan about costume inconsistencies look at Green Arrow) and the character quite a lot. Again this is not a good issue to jump in on the story. The big problem i'm having with the second feature is it seems too short and that makes everything take a long time to happen. At 10 pages it's about half the length of a main story and this seems to make it last forever, that said each part links to the next and makes it seem like an actual investigation (which is good as it is DETECTIVE comics after all). Renee herself I enjoy but again, bad issue. That whole "Commissioner Gordon's daughter" thing was overdone. Worked when they first bump into her but when they see her again and she continues it just makes the character seem dumb. So yeah i'd say 2.5 is a fair review for this issue but i assure you this series is better as a whole.  Usually Batwoman is about 4/4.5 in my opinion and The Question 3.5.

Greg Rucka has said this is Bruce in the past early in his career you can tell by the bat symbol and the fact that Batman doesn't call Gordon commissioner.  I think people put way to much focus on continuity and where does the story fit these stories will be so much easier to read if you just read the story itself. 

It is annoying when comics that use the same characters never try and explain when events happen. It's like DC has tossed continuity to the wind here. 
The art in the fight scenes are not very dynamic. It's pretty bad when someone describes a comic as " This isn't very reader friendly.". lol
What I don't like about second features. While they call them more content. Isn't that just wasted space that the first content could use? 

Thanks for telling him not to rip the comic, Babs.

They do refer to the fact that this is Bruce and not Dick at the start of the issue.This is easily one of the best books on the stands and I thought your review was very unfair.You didn't seem to really understand what was going on and seemed more interested in the fact that Batman got hit with a drawer(deadly in the right hands).I think it's great to see stories that are a little more complex and it's rare to see comics where the writer and artist work so well together.I'd give it 4.5.

This wasn't a very flattering review for you two.  You both sounded like first-time comic readers who don't understand continuity or how books interconnect and--more often--don't interconnect. 
 
I'm banning myself from posting here anymore.

Jock's an alright artist but nothing will ever come close to JH Williams III. I'll be picking up this issue anyway because I want to finish the Batwoman run. The second feature I could really do without. About 4 or 5 issues in I just started skipping it. I could happily live without it if it meant the book would be cheaper.

Batman books are rather confusing at this point.

Lol, Dick got his butt kicked!

" Lol, Dick got his butt kicked! "

Very happy to see Detective get reviewed, even though this was a blah issue.

I am a fan of Jock's art, but its kind of an acquired taste. Can't wait for JH to do a Batwoman ongoing.

G-Man, for good Renee Montoya stories you should check out Gotham Central trades.

I really don't like how the backup story has nothing to do with the main story.  It barely ties into Batwoman at all.  If it weren't for the fact that Kate dated Rene they wouldn't share anything in common really.  I'd almost rather it wasn't there at all.

My hope is that Batwoman gets her own ongoing and Renee takes up the main spot in Detective Comics. That would be my ideal. Then both characters get to shine independently of one another. They don't have anything to do with one another any more. (Renee has barely set foot back in Gotham in Detective Comics) so why not.

Babs REEEEEALLY doesnt LIKE Dick    >:|
