That's not unexpected that's unwanted.

Hard pass on this movie now. Thanks for the warning.

Ow, Come on!! So this is what Bruce Timm meant when he said "Make we care about her"?
This is getting ridiculous.

Comics = Babs x Dick, Babs x Luke, and almost Babs x Jason.
Batman Animated Series = Babs x Dick, Babs x Bruce.
Batman Arkham Knight = Babs x Tim.
Batman The Killing Joke = Babs x Bruce.

I can't wait to see who she will hook up in the next Batman animated movie.

DC really need another girl in this "Bat-Family" in the other medias.

What. The. Fuck. Super passing on this one, then. Yikes.

WTF! Did the animators mix up Batgirl with Catwoman? Now I have to wash my eyes out and call a therapist.

The Barbara-Bruce romance introduced in the animated series made me lose a lot of respect for the creators. Makes Batman look like a pedophile especially since she was originally Dick Grayson's, Bruce's adopted son, girlfriend. Also his friend's daughter. It's just gross. Sad to see they're adding that element to this story. It really adds no value. You can care deeply for someone without having a romantic relationship. This is unnecessary and polarizing to the audience.

Woooooow that is blunt lol. I thought it was going to be an implication or something lol

Also this is not an official clip so should CBR be reporting about this?

Although is not done in the way I would have wanted, I'm glad is there. Love seeing people trippin over it. lol
Bruce and Barbara had never had father/daughter relationship. She is not one of the Robins. She already has a father and is one of the best relationship in Batverse and best father/daughter relationship in any fiction.
Bruce need to stop being freaking jerk though. I really hate batjerk and batgod.

What a completely worthless thing to put in a movie that didn't really need it. I guess Timm has a big hard on for this pairing, lol. Though I guess people complaining about them having sex is a good way to deflect from the poor animation.

[Awonder]

Oh, joy. Why is it that so many in media can't seem to do much with female characters unless they are a love interest?

[joybeans]

Seems like something thrown in just for the sake of the R-rating. "Adult" is hardly the term to describe it.

Catwoman: I'm not sharing Batman with you!
Batgirl: What?! Ewww!
