It’s funny that that’s the only show I know of where someone actually did the classic “chained heat” idea and had them handcuffed together...


...I almost feel that kind of setup is too...

At a certain point, the Batfamily as a whole becomes similar to the Arthurian Mythos - there’s a central character, but his associates sometimes overshadow him and number anywhere from a small elite...

I don't find Red Robin or Black Bat to be bad names; I think both worked great in their heyday before the New 52. Red Robin, however, pretty much requires the cowled costume, in my opinion, or else...

Continuity, when used correctly, creates momentum and depth that adds extra resonance, meaning, and layers to the characters, stories, and conflicts.

Continuity, when used incorrectly, becomes a...

I think it’s interesting because it probably springs more out of the limbo and drama caused by DC fumbling with the Batgirls so often that they wound up trying to declare Steph and Cass toxic because...

...You’ve had nearly a decade of Babs back as Batgirl and headlining a book of some kind. You ain’t suffering more than fans of the other characters.

All the Batgirls have suffered editorial...

Consideirng part of the Babs’s threads discussion comes down to fans of *ALL* of Babs identity and fan groups, including fans of Oracle you may disagree with, while this is a Cass thread, and that...

...Babs doesn’t “scream” Batgirl anymore than they do; like Barry Allen she’s not even really the first character to take a crack at the ID. And honestly, I”d say it’s a good thing that all three...

I would actually argue that, from my perspective, Cass tells a dramatically different type of storytelling in style than Babs does - some of the friction there comes from how differently they appeal...

I think in general, he had an eye for new talent and some good ideas, and more than once he showed himself capable of looking at a good thing and ordering it to continue.

His biggest issue in my...

I think between those two, if you want bad-but-entertaingly-so, B&R is a better bet, particularly when Schwarzenegger unleashes the puns. Riddler kind of wound up being one of Carrey’s less...

Sinestro at least had sympathetic aspects revealed before he was treated sympathetically... and he was treated as a villain by the good guys without any issue and without them losing their spines,...

Black Mask was sinking into obscurity long before Catwoman became his primary heroic foe. He never really joined the upper echelons of the rogues once Moench was done with him the first time around,...

Sure we can stop talking about Kylo whenever criticizing Rey comes up... when the reaction creators and Tumblr have to a shallow Neo-Nazi School Shooter killing a beloved hero is not to promote him...

She mentions she had to bring him in and controlled him while trying to abuse Wanda’s emotional state... but she didn’t provide any explanation for where he came from or where he got his super speed...

This is what I’dput down, with the caveat that I think it was actually a very successful movie the vast bulk fo the fanbase really liked...

... But the divisiveness and storytelling decisions of...

Eh, I think the violation by Kylo in TFA should qualify, and the way he twice ragdolled her without any effort as well...

...But LFL worked hard to try and erase that trauma and damage as much as...

If they wanted to establish Project: Cataract/White Vision’s full creepy credentials as a “Sentient Weapon” with a completely emotionless and amoral but not immoral or malevolent personality, I could...

Shoot.

Cat*man*. Not Catwoman.:p

It was a one-off version of Thomas Blake that never appeared again. I’m going to try fixing that now...

I feel this is by and large a fallacy - with the caveat that LFL and Disney’s determination to try and repeatedly milk the OT era implies they’re currently paranoid about losing audience interest if...

Batman’s aspect as an outlaw seeking justice or unofficial law enforcement officer has varied from being hunted by the GCPD when they’re in full-on corrupt authoritarian enforces of the corrupt...

I believe Moench’s Pre-Crisis runs and others in the Bronze Age had them as a crime fighting couple for a while - there was a strong tradition of her being more anti-heroine than not by that point...

I always hated that, but more because it was such an overwrought melodrama it no longer felt like a real story to me, but a long-winded pseudo-philosophical attempt at emotionally evaluating Batman,...

...Because sometimes DC editorial can be paradoxically stupid?

I mean, there was a time when they wanted to put Scott Lobdell on just about every book under the sun, in spite of the fact the Dude...

This one feels like some of it was inevitable and close to excusable (even just Season One had too much content to condense that well)... and other stuff that is inexcusable, as you said,...
