fuckyeahgothamslash: ablipintime: isaidquirky: “Nice flowers, Renee! You do Poison Ivy a favor?” [Detective Comics #747] Reblogging this because I just realized: 1. This was before Renee came out 2. Considering that now, it makes the Poison Ivy comment 50x funnier to me. 3. Greg Rucka had to have been planning this all along.  That’s why when people are like “Oh, but Renee was so straight for so long!” I invite them to read this and then come talk at me about how straight Renee was before Gotham Central. The earliest I’ve gone in Renee’s publication history is 2000, with No Man’s Land. I’m not finished with it yet (I’m on Volume 4 ugh it’s so longggg) but it predates this. I’m not sure about before that and whether or not Renee was implied to have any heterosexual dates or anything, but Renee surprisingly read as very neutral to me. In fact, in this issue (and I think in No Man’s Land as well) her father gives her grief for being single and 30, while her mother tells him to stop pestering Renee about it. It read to me a lot like someone closeted to their parents trying to avoid the subject. Not to mention the thing with Harvey (up to vol 4 at least) seemed very contrived to me, like Renee was forcing herself along with it. At first, it read to me as Renee having a sort of morbid curiousity about Two-Face and a lot of sad pity towards him as well. Like she wanted to fix what was broken about him and not in a romantic sense. And over time, she kept him around because he was useful in helping the GCPD. Renee nearly laments each time Jim Gordon asks her to go get information for him from Harvey.  But I don’t see romance or chemistry between them. Harvey imprisoned her family and her brother. He injured Commissioner Gordon, who’s practically a father figure to Renee. I need to finish NML to get to the rest of it, but yeah—I’m not sure if I’ll ever go back to where Renee was partnered with Harvey (oh god the bad fashion) but so far, she read as neutral, and very possibly homosexual.
