No, you came here wondering why anyone would give a shit about the portrayal of a comic book character. That's the premise of your original comment. If you didn't care what other people thought, you wouldn't have written it.

But enough about CHAPPiE.

Are we certain Beach Babes from Beyond isn't a bonus porn title?

Amid a full-scale revolt from some of the show's fans over the declining quality. I wish Arrow stopped with Season 2.

No, I think people can understand those differences. I think people can understand allegory and metaphors. I think they can suspend their disbelief.

I did not condemn the genre, I only criticized DC's/Warner Bros.' treatment of one character.

THE TIARA!!!

No, the real bullshit is looking down on an entire medium because you for some reason believe a psychotic clown is less believable than, say, magic space samurai.

"Battering ram helmet" is still the worst gem weapon.

That's bullshit and you know it.

A comic book character that originated in a TV series and has gone on to appear in multiple other TV series and video games and is now one of the main characters in a major summer blockbuster. What does it matter that these are comic book characters anyway?

There is something fundamentally wrong about glamorizing and fetishizing a battered woman. Harley Quinn's obsession over the Joker should be explicitly used as a critique of abusive relationships, but recent iterations of the character seem to think that's what makes her cool.

And yet still wears all the signs of abuse. It's more frustrating to see Warner Bros./DC try to glamorize that in the first place.

Re:The fight for quality control

"Plus, canon dictates that the relationship between Harley, who first appeared in 1992’s Batman: The Animated Series, and the Joker is laced with abuse. That doesn’t exactly scream “feminism.”"

Brett Ratner has nothing to do with this.

"This will be my big break!"

This is why Michelle MacLaren bailed. Also Tom Hardy and that first guy they tricked into directing The Flash. And almost James Wan.
