Cheetah Appreciation 2020

[Psy-lock]

Congratulations, DC Animation! Justice League Dark Apokolips War is Cheetah's most embarrassing appearance in outside media to date. Even DCAU and Batman: Animal Instincts treated her with more dignity.

Oh god, do I even want to know?

spoilers:

She becomes one of Harley's lackeys and gets killed by a normal human soldier with normal bullets. I wish I was kidding

I saw a clip of it on youtube and yeah, it's pretty bad. I dunno that it's the most embarrassing, since she has some god awful appearances, but it's up there.

Thankfully, I'm sure WW84 will treat her much better and be seen by WAY more people

spoilers:

To be fair, several other well known villains were part of Harley's Suicide Squad in this movie including Black Manta, King Shark, Captain Boomerang, & Bane. I have no excuses for Cheetah being killed by ordinary bullets though.

I love Cheetah stories. I think Elizabeth Hurley would make a superb Cheetah.

Bumping this thread, has there been any recent updates with Cheetah in the comics? I’m a bit behind and hoping they give her back her long hair in the Cheetah form.

Also hope WW84 redeems Barbara as a competent threat in media adaptations. It’s infuriating how she’s supposed to be considered one of the main WW villains in the DC Universe, and the only proper faithful media adaptations we got that weren’t completely disrespectful were the Injustice 2 and Justice League Doomed versions (Where she’s actually portrayed as intelligent, godly powerful, an equal to WW and actually British.)

I don't think anything super interesting has happened with her recently. Last good thing we got was the short Rucka and Scott story in #750.

As far as the movie goes, I think it will accomplish its job of giving her an arc and making her a compelling antagonist/anti-villain that you care about. If nothing else, I expect her to be better received than Eisenberg's Lex or Leto's Joker, though that's a low bar to clear.

Would be rather ironic given Cheetah’s usual treatment in prior media adaptations compared to Lex and Joker.

My only issue is with the way she apparently goes down in 84. I hope that doesn'taffect (in a negative way) the way other writers will use her i the future. Because it's just as bad as her being taken out by bullets.

It sucks that THIS is how it had to come about, but yeah...

I think this should be reserved for the spoiler thread.

Yeah, at least from the trailers they seem to have Cheetah written to suit Wiig's strengths compared to whatever the hell Lex and Joker were going for.

She's still regularly appearing alongside the Legion of Doom in Justice League. Though I think they're over following Lex. No change to her design of course.
