As terrible as the show looked, to only give it three episodes seems harsh. 

Or just pull an Orphan Black and never explicitly say where the series is set.

She’s not treating race as a costume, it’s not like she’s cosplaying as just “a generic black guy”. Sure, race isn’t an accessory, but neither are gender, age, weight, and a million other things people also change for cosplays. 

Obama and Warren are, to a certain extent, just hard to mock, assuming you’re shooting for a centrist audience. Key and Peele’s anger translator bit was the best anyone managed to get from Obama, and that was still just okay. 

What a shame, phenomenal in everything he did. Kind of surprised Michael Ontkean outlived him, considering Twin Peaks.

I read it when it came out, but it’s been a while. Still, doing something brutal isn’t exactly rare for the Batfamily. Batman shot a guy into space. 

I’m just saying her origin doesn’t really tie in to her superheroism. Renee Montoya’s also a lesbian, but her origin doesn’t really have anything to do with her orientation so you don’t really assume it’ll have anything to do with her heroism. 

Nothing about the Detective Comics team was all that different from the way those characters already act.

Well, she was following in her parents’ footsteps and DADT killed that plan. She drifted and partied because she could until Batman inspired her to do something. She always wanted to serve and wearing the bat showed her a way to do that

Honestly, I think Batwoman’s always been kind of a messy character. Her comic origin is basically just that she was kicked out of the military due to DADT, so where do you go from that? Being a crusader for LGBT rights, furthering American foreign policy? No, she’s off fighting wizards and werewolves, which seems kind…

For now, but just barely. DADT ended eight years ago. If they’d made it five years from now, they might have to get someone older than Ruby Rose is now. In ten, Batwoman would have to be relatively old for a newish superhero. Twenty? It’s an okay origin, but it doesn’t work that well for the sliding timescale. 

Just one observation I always have about Batman stories in general: why make a privatized police force when you, as a very wealthy person, can just donate to the city?

He’s a terrible newscaster, but I’m not talking about his ability to actually present the news, I’m talking about the real life anchor-type who had the best role in a movie or TV show.

Hulk’s dad is influential, but I’d say usually as a memory, or a ghost. Didn’t he die before Bruce developed the gamma bomb? I’m a little hazy on the exact timeline. I considered counting Damian for his dad being dead while his mother was alive, but the reader knows Bruce is just time traveling so it felt like a bit…

Well, I guess that’s pretty much the best case scenario for such an odd combo. I suspect my favorite newscaster in a movie thing will still be the bizarre Wolf Blitzer scene in Mission Impossible. 

Talia didn’t stay dead for long, and Hulk’s dad died a long time ago. 

Vast majority? No. Way, way more than people who do the same for Delpy? Yeah, probably. 

Is there a reason that the massive disparities between co-stars we keep hearing about seem to always end up with the female making less than the male?

But they didn’t know who she was from them before they came out.

Although Raising Dion only slightly modifies the trope by switching parents (this time, it’s the father who has died)
