Wonder Woman, by the way, was and is dramatically overhyped as a movie. It was a decent film, but that's all. Better than all the other DCEU movies by far, of course, but that's not a very high bar to overcome. And as nice as it may be to have an empowering, female-led comic/action film, it wasn't strong enough on its own to merit half the praise it received, in my opinion. Ignoring the odd pacing and very rushed ending that was anything but climactic, it wasn't all that interesting or unique. Nor as fun as most MCU films.

I'm glad someone said it.

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.

@Eddie Brock

I can honestly say, I haven't enjoyed a DC Film beyond the initial viewing since The Dark Knight.

Why stay up for 24hrs reading the IC when you can put a headphone in and have Google narrate it to you while you accomplish other things?

The closest we could get to the old Babs now is if Babs actively decided to take herself out of field work and become the information broker, network coordinator we all know.

Disabling her is not an option, it now has to be her choice.

Funny, that's basically social commentary.

Blame Gail Simone. She was so indignant over how 'harmful' The Killing Joke was to Barbara that she decided to undo it and remove years of character development, turning her back into just another Bat-kid and ultimately damaging the character far more severely than any amount of bullets through the spine.

Ironically, the fact that Dick and post-injury Barbara can't really have crazy rooftop Halloween sex I think makes them a much better pairing. Like you're saying, as he grows up he should get less interested in chasing tail (or rather being chased by tail), so a relationship where that's not really an option anymore makes it that much more important for him to grow as a person. I think he's still very much a romantic and a loverboy at heart, but by the time he's an actual adult, he's looking more at a love with a capital L. He can't really get that from the world of sexy people in skin-tight spandex, and Barbara's the closest thing to a normal person he knows. Plus, since she was always more emotionally mature than him, I imagine he'd feel like he has something to prove, to show that he's grown enough to be ready for her.

I mean, to each their own--especially in regards to DC which has about eighty trillion different incarnations of their characters.

@AndyC

I fully agree to this. But that Barbara seems to be long gone from DC's line up sadly.

Note, I am way behind on both Rebirth Nightwing and Batgirl's titles but I'm like 99.9% certain that Babs has not been confined to a wheelchair again haha.

I like Dick/Kory, but I've never really been able to consider them an OTP. They always struck me as each other's respective side-piece.

@AndyC

Dick kind of strikes me as the kind of guy who always defined himself by being liked by girls but eventually grows older and realizes he doesn't need all that noise and eventually forms more platonic and meaningful relationships.

Basically what I'm trying to say is I don't see there being any OTP for Dick.

Especially you. You know who you are.

@Master Bruce

Oh you.

Let's not act like Dick doesn't have an ass that would bring all the cougars to the yard...

@Hound55

There was definitely a point in the initial run of his blue and black suit that Dinah told Barb if she didn't snatch up Dick, then she would.

Not saying Dinah is a cougar, but I always saw her as five years older than Dick or Babs.

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

@Eddie Brock

Huh, that'd be a fun couple actually.

I mean, at least MB is adamant about the sanctity of Batman's canonical ships.

I, on the other hand, will remain steadfast in shipping Dick Grayson and Raven until the day I die.

@AndyC

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

Personally I like the idea of Batman and Black Canary.
