I mean, still watch and rewatch John Wick multiple times, but it's there.

In the very last scene of John Wick 2 where he's running through the park I was expecting the baby in the pram that one female assassin was pushing to pull out a mobile phone and reveal that it was an assassin too.

Why should Batwoman be physically imposing?

For once I'd love to see a member of the bat family portrayed as a stealth detective first and a buff punch master second.

They can always change it, but comic Batwoman was basically whisked around the world to learn from a bunch of super skilled hand to hand fighters by her father.

Once you've done the leg work to figure out that this is a Bane gambit and not the work of Two Face, you're going to need to be able to punch way more than you're going to need a magnifying glass.

But seriously, is that not Tim Drake?

Exactly, and there are plenty of martial arts that don't rely on size or muscle mass.

Only if Bane outsmarts you or you suck at being a ninja. If Batwoman comes up against Bane she'll need to play it smart not lift more weights, regardless of which actress plays her.

SonicRulez posted:

And so far he hasn't been portrayed in a movie or TV show. I guess the cartoon versions have been good.

Punch Fest should be a last resort and yet all Batmedia has to revolve around it and all actors have to be jacked.

She’s Marine, right? We used a martial art called MCMAP which was, lIke, a mixture of jiu-jitsu, judo, freestyle/folkstyle wrestling, Krav Maga, and some striking and weapon fighting systems. It’s actually pretty intense and super useful.

I’m also a brown belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and I often get school by a 5 foot tall BJJ black belt that is 130 pounds lighter than me. Don’t let the size fool you — “smaller” people can hurt just about anyone if trained well

This means nothing to the kind of nerds who are complaining. These are the same people that fan cast everything with what ever wrestler they know the name of that looks vaguely like a character.

Also, she will almost certainly have the same generic cheap tv martial art style from Arrow.

And how often has Batwoman had to tangle with Bane or Bruce's other muscle villains anyway? It's not like the show is Batman But a Lady, she'll have her own villains to punch right?

Sure I think he was one of the villains in that animated Mystery of the Batwoman movie, so that's one.

Well it looks really cool, but you can never judge a property by it's trailer. After the way Danny was in everything but his own series, Colleen in everything, and the addition of Misty, I think I'm on board.

Danny was in Luke Cage S2 and I like the acting and the writing they had for him; it's picked up tremendously from IF S1.

Yea, the actor is terrible, his gimmick about everything rhyming is incredibly tedious and cliche and hackish, he's insanely powerful for the show, and his insane creepy obsession with his sister that killed herself to get away from him just makes your bones itch.

The Mad Hatter in the comics never felt like much of a threat, and honestly feels like something that was created in the Golden Age when there were tons of characters based on public domain characters like that. loving Mother Hubbard had a comic.
