Some of the best art in all of comicdom
You can see it in this wonderful preview of the latest issue of Detective Comics! J. H. Williams III the doing things that no one else does with the comic page. If he's not the most creative artist in comics today, he's darn close.
Can the phallus be any more obvious? I haven't read the comic and haven't read Detective Comics regularly since the mid-1980s, but is this meant to be a statement about Catwoman assuming a male role of some kind or challenging male dominance in some way? Or does it have to do with her sexuality, given that she came out of the closet a few years ago? It's got to be something, given the prominence of the phallic symbol.

Whoops ... Sorry. Saw "Batwoman" and it registered as "Catwoman." So, then, change the question: What's the phallic symbol say about Batwoman?
You, sir, are far to obsessed with phalluses. (Phallusi?) (Willie winkies?)
