I mean, you're not wrong, but to ignore its significance as a female-led superhero movie is to bury the lede a bit. Just as Black Panther is nothing terribly special among Marvel fare, yet it represents an important cultural milestone.

Besides, Wonder Woman's unapologetic appeal to true blue heroism, after the DCEU had spent the better part of three movies dragging their heroes through the muck for drama and deconstruction's sake, was a glass of cold water for a man trapped in the desert.

I'll say this about Batman v. Superman: As a Superman film, I hate it. As a Batman film, I really hate it. But divorced from the title characters' identities and taken at face value, it's an interesting -- if unevenly constructed -- idea.

Eww, I just vaguely defended the DCEU, and it had nothing to do with Wonder Woman. I need a shower.

Yeah, but in-game he was like 15 at the time. And unless we wanted to turn UDC into a reenactment of Van Halen's "Hot for Teacher," I figured someone in the same age bracket would be more appropriate.

@AndyC

Wait, we didn't? Shit, I was playing that game all wrong...

@Eddie Brock Is that what you want with Jay Garrick?

Huh, that'd be a fun couple actually.

@Lord Wraith

Yeah, I thought so, too... Thanks, @GreenGrenade!

It works when you right write it, never saw it in the comics though.

Personally I like the idea of Batman and Black Canary.

@Lord Wraith

Cap and Canary was very close to happening. Instead, I've had to alter course... More on that soon enough.

If you don't ship Spider-Man and Barbara Gordon, do you ship at all?

... actually, @HenryJonesJr, I have no qualms if you continue this honorable tradition in UOU. No qualms at all...

The San Diego Comic-Con schedule really says it all.

I never watched Batman Beyond ( A lot of the old Cartoons are on Amazon Prime so I will be catching up over the next couple of weeks), but in it was Barbara not a long term ex of Bruces?

@Sep

It was very wink-wink. But in Killing Joke, Bats officially hits it and quits it.

My own complaint about Bruce Timm is his weird obsession with the Bruce/Barbara pairing, which reached a fever pitch in the Killing Joke animated film... *shudders*

Lois' characterization in Smallville was awkward at times, and they leaned too far towards the abrasive angle that it went past the classic spit-fire, inquisitive woman and was just annoying. She had her moments, sure, and the teasing could be fun at times, but her character in that show was always the lesser of the two.

Lana, meanwhile, despite early on being the cliche damsel in distress, quickly developed into a more unique and fleshed out character. And even though they fucked that up for a season with the whole Lex thing, that just made me more sympathetic to what could have been done better had they not gone down that route. And in her final season's appearance, she was much more interesting and compelling than Lois. And had they not been committed to the Lois angle by that point, would have made a better happy ending for Clark, in my opinion. They made it very clear at the end there that she was the real love of Clark's heart.

Also, Erica Durance isn't that great an actress.
