So let me get this straight: DC is fine with the obscene violence and salty language of the Harley Quinn series, but not fine with Batman eating pussy? Jesus wept.
I'm not condoning their stance, but I understand it sort of. Harley and crew can do whatever they want because they are villains and second- or third-tier IP. It's been relatively rare to have depictions of Batman or most of the A-listers from DC having sex of any sort. Obviously, the viewers of Harley Quinn are generally teens and adults. But there would definitely be a backlash from the uptight parent types who think comics are just for kids. I don't blame corporate DC for being like, "It's not worth the headache for a joke."
Wallis Day shows off her evil-Batwoman suit. I guess they're making her the female Red Hood. Gotta say, Wallis Day is doing a superb job of mimicking Ruby Rose.
I like that suit!! It's so much more realistic if someone is out fighting criminals than some flimsy skirt and high heeled boots.
I dunno, it wasn't full pussy-munching, but the book where Bats conceives Damian with Talia got heavy PG-13.
IIRC Talia drugged Bats, right? DC and Marvel both don't spend a lot of time with pre/extramarital sex among their A-list characters, and when they do it, they mostly wink and nod and have it happen off-panel/screen in my experience. Clark and Lois shared a bath in BvS, I want to say. Clark and Lois had offscreen sex that resulted in the kid in Superman Returns, and Clark and Lois probably had off-screen sex in Superman II. Oh, and Clark had sex with Lana and like one other girl in Smallville, and probably with Lois. Wondy had sex with Steve Trevor in both WW movies. Batman presumably slept with his love interests in each of the movies (well, besides Rachel). And I think also in BvS, Batfleck is in bed with a model after. But in many of the cases, there is enough plausible deniability that they actually did anything.
Maybe in some variation of the story I'm unaware of. In "Son Of The Demon" that came out way back in 1987, they bang in full possession of their faculties, then Talia lies, and says she miscarried, then the last panel is 9 months later, and she leaves the baby on the doorstep of an orphanage in a basket 30's cartoon style. Fans argue over whether this was the canonical origin of Damian, or if it's retroactively an elseworld. (My head-canon? This is totally Damian)
I don't know. When I was ... very young, I was pretty sure Adam West's Batman was banging Julie Newmar's Catwoman. it wasn't on screen. But it was definitely alluded - if my naive 6 year old self picked up on it.
So I apparently was not just making this up.... https://comicvine.gamespot.com/foru...-al-ghul-assault-batman-in-batman-inc-699480/
Just makes it that much more obvious that this season would have been far more coherent if they'd simply recast the part and took a couple of episodes on the "horribly injured, needed plastic surgery" bit and moved on. Not to say the new girl isn't a perfectly reasonable actress, it's just too much extraneous bullshit that comes with the swap
(Just saw the Batwoman finale) Ah, well I see why they did the recast now. To better tie up the character in such a way that if they want to tie up the "where's Bruce?" thing, they can bring Kate back as Wallis, and if Ruby Rose ever wants to come back (one in a billion, but you never know), they can give her "plastic surgery" again, and change her back. They have more options now than just killing her in an explosion. Why Batwoman 2 instead of straight recast? CHUDs are gonna assume wokeness. I'm gonna go with we haven't heard the whole behind the scenes drama. Feels like some butt-hurt against Rose going on in the writing.
Ehh....could be good if executed well....but it doesn't make me jump up and down. All I can remember on Friday The 13th was how it always drove me crazy they didn't do Jason's mask, then finally Jason.
I thought this season was disjointed and uneven BUT I thought they tied off all the threads pretty well. The culmination of the Black Mask plot was good even though for most of the season it had been mostly messy. Getting a finish to the Kate/Alice/Jacob/Crows stuff felt very necessary (although kudos to Wallis for channeling Kate well, she could certainly have been a fine recast and "let's all pretend Kate always looked like this" choice)
There was supposed to be a 3-part crossover between Superman & Lois and 2 other shows, but covid fucked that up. But there was a little crossover. Diggle from Arrow popped up in Batwoman, Flash, and Superman & Lois. He didn't carry any plot information or McGuffins through the shows, it was basically a "hi, everyone! Bye, everyone!" kinda thing. That's it. We went from "Crisis On Infinite Earths" to "hey, Diggle! ".
It drives me a little crazy that in about a dozen episodes of Superman and Lois there still has not been a clear acknowledgment that Supergirl exists. That Dig showed up was the first concrete evidence that the show exists in the Arrowverse continuity.
And still, big "end of the world" climax where you need all hands on deck and...not even a throwaway line about her being out of contact (and the whole Phantom Zone arc was easy cover)
When Chrissy asked the question about whether people should be afraid of Kryptonians now, and Clark was like, 'You mean me?" I was hoping she would be like, "AND KARA."
They're gonna make up for covid ruining last year's crossover. Flash season 8 is going to start with a 5 part epic with everyone from the current and cancelled Arrowverse shows. https://www.darkhorizons.com/five-part-the-flash-series-event-set/
I don’t keep up with those shows, but the crossovers are decent. I hated what they did with Kevin Conroy Batman though.
okay i think I have a resolution, partially, to this: since Kara got out of the PZ, one of the first things she did was take her dad to the Fortress. Yet we saw Kal basically destroy the Fortress this season Therefore the current events in Supergirl are in the past in the time frame of S&L It's widely speculated that Kara will go to the future or in some other way leave the continuity of the Berlanti-verse shows at the end of the season ...so (while I'm skeptical they will include Kal in a send-off finale and they should if she knows in advance that she's leaving, but that's for a future discussion) it's rational to assume that by the time of S&L Season 1 Kara is gone and it's not a secret.
WTF does he know? He only voiced the character for years. It's not like he was Bob Kane who created it.
