Since nearly the beginning of the New 52 Batwoman series, Kate Kane and Maggie Sawyer have been in a relationship. They are currently engaged and living together with Maggie fully aware of Kate's identity as Batwoman.
But the two have a great many problems.
As much as I enjoy Batwoman's series, I have found it incredibly jarring the way that Kate's relationship with Maggie has been neglected - both by Williams and Blackman and Andreyko (granted, it is early in his run). Many of the issues that the two have with one another are swept under the rug and seldom voiced by the two of them. Maggie discovering that Kate is Batwoman, for example, should've led to something. Maggie did have something of a vendetta against Batwoman for some time. Yet her reaction to the discovery is skipped over and we are not given much information about how Maggie has adjusted to this discovery. Also, lets not forget that the two were having problems before Kate proposed to Maggie. Secrets and neglect being a big factor in their problems. Yet the two have yet to have an actual conversation where they voice their issues to one another.
Personally, I sincerely hope that Andreyko addresses some of these issues in the future. The relationship is beginning to feel one-dimension and unrealistic, in my opinion.
Does anybody else have a similar issue? And does anyone have a prediction for what is to come between the two character?
