Exactly. They took her from a wonderfully interesting and loony sidekick and turned her into some kind of maniacal sex kitten. Missing her clothing and all.

How are these things contradictory?

Ever heard of any of Cline’s “Nerd Slam Poetry” about girls? It practically drips with “I’m a really nice guy, once you get to know me. I swear.” ickiness.

I think it’s because people don’t want to be reminded that they’re being nostalgic while they’re being nostalgic. They want to feel like kids again without it being pointed out that they are actually old and silly. Personally, I don’t care either way. I am old and silly in some ways. I’m still not going to read this…

It’s male gazy. How he describes her is different from how other characters are described. His fixation seems to start and end with her appearance.

Go directly to hell, you absolute nightmare of a person.

Another exclusive image just leaked!

“Ed came to us and felt very strongly about this. We fully support his unselfish decision. It was not our intent to be insensitive to issues of authenticity and ethnicity...”

By the way, Flash’s suit still sucks. It will never not suck.

BvS was never a MoS sequel. It was never peddled as that.

I don’t actually want to see any of these movies. Go figure. And I’m about as biased as they come, on the comics side—Superman is easily my favorite superhero, my favorite comics are DC, and I’ve always been a DC stan since I was a kid on the playground yelling about Batman vs. Wolverine. But holy shit, I just don’t…
