If I call Catwoman a hero and B list, will that make you feel better?

You confuse me utterly sometimes. I have no idea what me liking Catwoman has to do with the price of tea in China. I've told you all this before about the rating of the female characters—I don't know why you're a) pressing me on the same stuff again b) positing that I'm a biased debater.

Uh, I know one of the guys who wrote Catwoman (he's really really sorry, okay?) and it wasn't really a vote of confidence in her, so much as cashing in on a wave and putting a hot actress in the role—she's more popular than Elektra, totally, but it was a similar train of thought that got each of them made, and it's…

Yeah, this WTF tag is new and has never been used before. It's fresh and exciting to be here on the cusp of a new day, isn't it?

IO9 is a daily publication that covers science, science fiction, and the future.

Just going on my experience with uninterested parties, more of them have heard of Batgirl than Supergirl. They wouldn't be surprised that Supergirl existed, but Batgirl had a more widely watched and more recent mass market movie.

Yes, they would. The general public has no idea what's going on outside Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and Spider-Man, pretty much. In six months most of the people who saw Avengers will not be able to name all the characters in the movie, even by superhero name.

Using my sister-meter, rings a bell because of the movies (not Sue, just Storm and Jean), but would never have heard of them otherwise. Wonder Woman, Catwoman, Batgirl, Lois Lane, Mary Jane. I've found that I usually estimate too high when I'm trying to work out how much comic books stick in the brain of people…

I'm considering B or C list to be something that would make my sister (not into comics ever, can barely remember that Hawkeye was in the Avengers movie) say "Oh, yeah, I've heard of her..." but not someone she'd name on her own.

Yup. Ian Churchill at your service, ma'am.

Even though they can't get her off the ground these days, I firmly believe that Wonder Woman is A-list. And that you don't hit another woman until D-list and even then you're not gonna get people to agree on who's next.

I've had them as low down as my brow. Is that what you're referring to as "up on your forehead"?

No, if you don't count the times I was on diuretics.

I still would only go to my migraine specialist for the injections, though. I want someone in the biz to decide where the shots go—my current migraine specialist doesn't even agree with what my last migraine specialist decided. At best, I'd consider my pain doc for the treatment, if not a migraine doc.

You know, that Donnie Darko one makes me think of Blink, not the kid and the crazy rabbit shit.

The audience is done potty training, right? Why can't healthy adults go three hours between pisses?

I consider that perfectly appropriate due diligence.

I'm not gonna lie—that was hot.
