I just don't think he has the comedy chops for the canon scene though or when they are stabbing the trolls in cages.

So much for Hollywood pandering to the overseas market. I don't think the rest of the world has ever heard of chili cheetos, and so far we haven't really experienced it as a loss.

TTG is Looney Tunes with more violence. The "0 days since injury" gag in Man of Steel was pretty Looney Tunes, as was Superman's first flight wipeout.

Though I should stress that the series in question was primarily potato chip centric and I think that Cheetos are some sort of maize thing like 99% of all foods you people eat.

gently caress Cheetos. We have a local equivalent here in New Orleans called Chee-Wees. They have BBQ flavor, green onion, hot & spicy, etc. and they taste far better than Cheetos. Also far less messy to eat.

I think the best possible movie for Batgirl begins with The Killing Joke and the emotional and physical fallout from that. She mourns her life as she thought it would be and comes to terms with that while realizing she can still make a contribution.

It would need to be a small, personal, tight movie. Hopefully it would help DC claw some credibility back.


Plus, put the Joker and Harley in the trailer and rake in the :10bux:


Yes, I know Harley isn't in The Killing Joke.

The funny thing about Whedon not having an idea for Batgirl is there's a pretty recent series starring her that's focused a lot on her life with her friends in what's pretty much the Gotham equivalent of Brooklyn and that seemed like something that was tailor made for Whedon.

In non comic book movie talk, I watched The Open House on Netflix last night and it was one of the worst movies I've seen in a long time. Not even so bad it's funny, just so bad. Terrible plot, acting, camera work, non-ending, every horror movie cliche you can imagine, just complete bullshit.

You could even do wheelchair-bound Oracle but change her origin, then make it about her trying to become a cop to follow her father's footsteps but is delegated to a desk job. Frustrated, she uses her technical capabilities to hack into Batman's security systems, and becomes his technical advisor. But then one of the villains (Harley maybe?) realizes that if they remove Oracle from the equation, Batman will be weakened, and targets her, and Barbara has to avoid getting captured/killed.

I guess that wouldn't be a "Batgirl" film, though. Maybe that's the stumbling block Joss hit.

Oh, well, that's all water under the bridge, as I always say. Water under the bridge!

Base the tone off of the fun Cameron Stewart run, have it about Barbara Gordon becoming Batgirl and trying to hide it from her father, throw in Poison Ivy as the villain and have Batfleck show up in the stinger to begrudgingly give her his respect and boom, you have the DCEU equivalent of a Spider-Man homecoming that also reps a female lead for girls to look up to. Shelve all of The Killing Joke darkness, and just let it be a fun, quickly adventure flick.

I never like her remaining Oracle given that she lives in a superhero universe filled with magic and superscience and healing powers, but no, she's got to be in a wheelchair. Its particularly glaring when we have stuff like exoskeletons and stem cells and other medical advances that are restoring people's ability to be mobile again. Just give her a MANTIS powered suit and have her become power-armor Batgirl.

sucks to be right
Batgirl got relaunched back in 2011 with DC's "New 52" where Barbara Gordon had recovered from the events of Killing Joke thanks to experimental surgery and could walk again, although she had PTSD and survivor's guilt to deal with. As you can guess they didn't manage to get through that without some controversy, especially over this image:


In 2016 they relaunched the title yet again as part of the "DC Rebirth" event and they wound Barbara Gordon back to a time before Killing Joke had happened. In this new version she's a college student and the tone is "a fun, fresh approach to the character"


It's honestly a bit hosed that the character's defining moment for the last three decades has almost always been that time that a supervillain crippled and molested her simply as a psychological tool against her dad.

Actually, that would be pretty cool. Have her be wheelchair bound, but use an exosuit to be Batgirl. Maybe have her base some of the tech off of the Armored Batsuit from BvS? That would be a really rad way to sort of combined the various interpretations of the character. It would also set up a nice dynamic of her not letting her disability prevent her from helping the people of Gotham, and add an extra sense of weight to Jim Gordon’s overprotectiveness of his daughter.

And I wouldn’t even use The Killing Joke for her paralysis. Either keep the cause of it undefined, or tie it into a character moment like a car crash or something.

See, I've always felt her defining moment was her putting herself back together, and into a place that's arguably more valuable than an additional body to punch dudes in an alley. I think there's value to having a prominent wheelchair character, and I think it's clever that she created a whole dispatcher/hacker/archivist role for herself.

Edit: the killing joke is there so they have an excuse to throw Joker in for the trailers and get the fanboy money.
