Kind of seems like you guys are as well, to be fair. 

Alternatively:

That’s fair; there’s no real way I can argue with that, I’m just a sucker for Keaton’s Batman when you get down to it. 

Gotta chuckle a bit at the headline that she ‘tiptoes’ around the issue. As if she wouldn’t. As if anyone here wouldn’t if they were in her shoes. As if there is some benefit to her in not ‘tiptoeing’ around it, and thus opening herself up to waves of ill-tempered shrieking from overly-online assholes whichever way…

This is a hindsight thing, in total fairness; remember that the dominant cultural impression of Batman at the time was basically this:

“I don’t want to talk about time travel because if we talk about time travel we’re going to be here all day talking about nothing but time travel, making diagrams out of straws.”

Three seasons in and now they decide it’d be a good idea to put the old band back together? How has it taken so long?

Representation is all fine and well, but there does seem to be something a bit weird about how intense grown adults can get on the subject of who children’s cartoon characters might be hooking up with.

These movies are gradually becoming less ‘movies’ and more ‘blatant enterprises in shameless overt emotional manipulation’.

They were originally going to call it Billy and the Paintasaurus. 

It seems like the whole Velma thing is revealing a bit of a double-edge to the sword of increased media representation, or perhaps more accurately the use of increased media representation as a marketing tool and potential indicator of quality: in keeping with Sturgeon’s Law, a good percentage of these projects are…
