OMGS I want to do something for Galentine's Day but I just got a new job and even though it's part-time it's leaving me kinda frazzled so I'm not sure I'd have the energy to do so. BLARGH.
I really do need to catch up on the rest of Gotham Central; I really liked what I read of it. But yes, it is the same Maggie in both Gotham Central and Batwoman. Kate's got a thing for the GCPD it seems... Though post-Flashpoint it looks like Maggie is a Detective rather than a Captain. She could have been demoted I guess, but it seems more likely she simply hasn't risen to that rank yet given that the relaunch generally made everyone younger. In some ways it's a shame to have her in less of an authority position. But in another way it kind of leaves her free to be the lead detective on the missing children case and clash with Batwoman in a more immediate way which is kind of fun.
I miss Bette though! I want her to wake up soon! Although it's unexpected and kind of sweet that Jacob is sitting with her so much. I would have been pissed about it but I read an interview with the writers that seemed to allude to big plans for Bette in the future and how they thought she wasn't necessarily treated with a lot of respect as a character in the past, so I'm hoping they're like, taking her to a low point to build her back up rather than just having bad shit happen to her to show the effect on others. But I think we might have to wait until the next arc to see it. Grr! Moar Bette!
