I'm not entirely sure why the Internet is so aggro about Palahniuk. He's not a bad writer but his first few books had a bad habit of trying to write about "gross"/"shocking" things in order to get some kind of visceral reaction from the audience. But … then again I read all of his works published until 2009, but…

I don't expect anything realistic from the show, so her ridiculous nature is just her fitting into what the show has become.

This show is whatever timeperiod you want it to be. Last night's episode had a Studebaker in it (I couldn't catch what model but it looked maybe 1960s? maybe an Avanti?) so the show is set after that car was made. Late 20th century and/or early 21st century.

Oh. But.

Yeah see that's the older nomenclature it stopped being used in that manner by 2011 at the latest.

There's actors on the show who put in performances that are human-like, i.e. Ben what's his face is forced to make Jim Gordon seem like a human. Then there's actors on the show who realize that the show wants characters. Jada was a character from the casting process throughout much of Season 1; she wasn't trying to be…

There's been occasional episodes which attempted to talk about Gotham being a sort-of-uniquely-corrupt city as some kind of explanation as to why villains flock to it. The problem with these episodes is that they happened in the first season and they were very rarely the A or B plots of those episodes.

My vote for the line of the evening is
"Man, Bridget. Someone sure scrambled your eggs."
`Selina Kyle

Batman: The Animated Series took at least some of its character design cues from the live-action feature films, and Catwoman/Selina Kyle there was blonde, so, I blame/credit Tim Burton (and/or whoever made the character design choices on Batman Returns).

Catwoman in general has been blonde on occasion http://sciencefiction.com/2… ; this Catgirl on particular is usually blonde I thought?

When I watched this episode my main reaction was that Selina Kyle's hair looks FABULOUS

I mean there's the hair joke in here so that's why I thought razor blade and a pair of scissors are good guesses. But. They weren't the right answers. So I guess my answer is
*stares into the wilderness listening to the voices*

Can we compromise? It was a bad scene on a terrible show?

Can concur, am JeffSmith's mom.

:-) Good attempt at deflection, I'll give you half a point for trying.

I mean I thought the show was giving Hugo Strange too many things to do when it said he killed The Waynes.
Now he's 100% committed to the entire process of Making Batman Villains: from capturing them, to brainwashing them, to giving them new identities, to giving them costumes, to resurrecting them, to releasing them…

I haven't watched the episode from this last Monday but I have hopes she returned to Gotham in some capacity before this season is over…

Well apparently Frank is more forgiving (?!!?!?) than either you or me.
