Catwoman is annoying on top of being hideous. I can't stand her. I wish they'd make her die or at least make Batman punch her into prison everytime she shows her ugly mug, she's a criminal and should be treated as such and not as a love interest.
Did they make Bruce Wayne Chinese just to justify his interest in martial arts?
This better not be a "white people can't be good at martial arts because that's cultural appropriation" thing again. It was stupid with Iron Fist and it'd be dumb now.
They made Catwoman the burglar black so at least they're consistent
Selina Kyle has been black all of one time in history and it feels like people will never let that go.
That's not even a knock against Eartha Kitt, who was great.
Its a great canon couple but only if made by Chads and not soiboys like Daniel Kibblesmith or tumblr feminists
Because Eartha Kitt was so great, people don't let black Selina go. She delivered a pretty damn iconic interpretation of Selina.
Literally who
Batman is for Zatanna only
>Batman is chinese
is this a crona joke?
>Because Eartha Kitt was so great, people don't let black Selina go.
The people who want her to be black don't even know who Eartha Kitt is.
The only black Catwomen I know are that one in Lego Batman and that one terrible movie
>elseworlds
And I should care because...?
>standard male adventure/story
>you have to overcome a enemy/problem
>it's hard and painfull but you learn something about yourself and grow from the process.
>maybe you save the girl along the way and she can become a love intrest.
>satandard female adventure/story
>everybody loves me and wants to fuck me.
>my hardest choice is to pick who gets to fuck me.
Sure, it's a cliche but it fits for 2/3 of the books&movies.
Did they really have to try and one up New Warriors?
Azula looks pretty good.
Lego is Earth Kitt inspired and bad movie is just because Halle Berry was really popular at the time.
The director was also probably a pervert.
damn, i totaly see it.
He is now born in Hong Kong, im not shitting you
Imagine a world where you cuck Jack Napier and get to survive. I mean they kind of cucked Joker with Jared Leto but still DC is going too far
...but why?
For what purpose?
Surely there must be a reason beyond "just because."
>“Bruce Wayne is the billionaire. He’s the richest man alive. So I thought, wouldn’t it be fun if his family was Chinese and from Hong Kong? That made it feel real,” she said. “There’s been a big influx of wealthy Chinese people who moved from Hong Kong to Arcadia in Los Angeles, and that’s where my mom lives, I’m part-Chinese, my brother lives in Hong Kong, so I thought it would be great to put what I know into Bruce Wayne.”
Never mind. It is just because.
>In this telling, Bruce is still a brooding rich boy, Jack Napier (the Joker’s given name) is still a troublemaker, and Selina Kyle’s very much a person who delights in emotionally manipulating people to get what she wants. But Gotham High imagines them all as teenagers who all grew up as friends in Gotham City before Bruce was shipped off to Arkham Academy, an elite prep school for the rich and wealthy.
That Joker, what a rascally trouble maker. Always with his harmless little pranks.
wondy is the only acceptable woman for bats
his hangups revolve around putting his partners in danger due to his hobby
Writer must REALLLY love Crazy Rich Asians, and they didn't like the idea of making a White guy the end game for her self insert Selina so this is why Jack Napier going to be a White incel.
Wait, do you mean show runners or fans? Because when I look at stuff like Selina from super hero girls, it's obvious they're influenced by the Eartha adaption. If a fan doesn't know about the Eartha Kitt one and wants a black one...who cares? Maybe they'll be introduced to the campy Batman and Eartha-cat through this newest Selina.
Honestly, looking at the trailer the joker adaption rubs me the wrong way most, but it's pretty damn obvious this isn't for me and with all the multiverses going around, I can't be bothered to feel anything more than "huh".
May pick the book up for the Riverdale/Gossip Girl/Teen Drama-loving students in my classroom though.
By that point i expect a "Gotham Kids" series where kid Joker and kid Batman are having wacky adventures like Joker stealing last cookie or pulling the hair of Selina Kyle.
Fair enough. It'll probably appeal to them.
Know your audience.
I mean DC already dumbed down 2002 Teen Titans into TTGO!. Its a natural course of action that they going after angsty teens and kids with their other stories. Marvel is going WOKE while DC is actually full of clueless moronic boomers.
>Wait, do you mean show runners or fans?
Both
>Because when I look at stuff like Selina from super hero girls, it's obvious they're influenced by the Eartha adaption.
DCSHG is an exception. Most things aren't as good as DCSHG.
"Alright guys, how can we reach millenial audiences today."
"Let's make a YA graphic novel where a young Barry Allen does Fortnite dances on TikTok while trying to avoid the nasty pranks of that wacky Eobard Thawne."
"Print it."
>dumbed down 2002 Teen Titans into TTGO!
Do you not remember the TTGo shorts from DC Nation?
>Joker
>a wicked sense of humor
Why is this not an original story? Sounds like the only thing that connects this to the Batman universe are the names and some loosely adopted character traits. This reminds me so much of 50 Shades of Grey - change the names and it's a completely new story.
I contend that there are at least Catwomen in the '66 universe. Prove me wrong.
Does it matter? It's not like it's connected to the mainline books in any way. This is something that's supposed to draw-in tween and teen girls, it's not meant to appeal to us at all.
I don't read or watch stories about characters who are under 18.
blacks built Europe bigot
>I contend that there are at least TWO Catwomen in the '66 universe. Prove me wrong.
fixed
I thought joker's real name was Arthur?
Wasn't she black in Batman Year One?
IT WAS ME BARRY
I RUINED YOUR TIKTOK
Would absolutely read for a laugh
Not I could tell. She was maybe a shade darker than Bruce, but that was closer to being tan than anything else.
>She was maybe a shade darker than Bruce
More like a shade lighter.
Year one, the 60's show and the cat woman film. She was black in several eras and different mediums.
Remember in 2011 when we were taking the piss out of terrible ideas?
literally modern amerimutts dont have any reality other than the internet and sns
Year One example right here. She's close to Bruce's skin tone in the same lighting.
She was white for more episodes of the 60s show than she was black. Julie Newmar and Eartha Kitt were both iconic depictions. The former just had more episodes.
The character in the Catwoman film isn't even Selina. She's Patience Philips.
Not to nerd out, too much, but I don't think those really count as eras.
No, I'm not. But I am ready to skin people alive, if you'd call management people. Enough with the goddamn mundane settings already. Enough with the fucking highschools. The target audience is attending school already. It's their daily soul-crushing routine. Escapism is supposed to be about things you don't get to live, not seeing more of the same motherfucking shit you're trying to escape from.
But that's the weird thing. As someone who was once a tween girl if I got into something I wanted to get into all of it. Deeply.
If I had read something like this and enjoyed it on it's own merits, there's NOTHING like it to latch onto.
It's the problem with all the books in this push really. They're probably fine for their genre but a lot of them are just generic girlshit that is hardly a dive into what the characters actually are. It's what creates obnoxious fandom rending fights about what version is "correct." Maybe that's giving them too much credit but if I wanted to entice younger girls into certain characters I wouldn't want to give them these. It might work for as an intro to comics overall...maybe.
Like what the hell is pic related?
Latina Catwoman. White trash Joker. Chinese Bruce and his gay uncle Alfred. Sound great.
This is from the trash Black Canary book, right?
The art was really amateurish and the storytelling was weak.
If gordon is going to be the pedo teacher then yes maybe
Yeah, written by the woman that wrote the Princess Diaries.
Jack is gonna get with his fangirl Harleen who comments under his post with HOT. Mark my words.
>REMEMBER WHEN ALL YOUR CONTENT GOT FLAGGED?
>IT WAS ME BARRY! IT WAS ME ALL ALONG!
Wait, so why is this a gotham story though? I don't see what part of this needs to be a dc story, it could just as easily be a new teen drama.
I was hoping joker would be gay
True, but most of the world does not know or care about the details. They think of Catwoman as a character who can be either color which is why people keep doing it. Hell I'm pretty sure they just cast a black woman to play her in the new DC movies.
Two words:
BRAND RECOGNITION.
Batman is a brand that already pays dividends, so the company can invest into releasing this story with the guarantee that slapping Batman characters onto this story will guarantee it to make money. New characters are too risky and don't come with that guarantee.
To the higher ups, it doesn't matter if this story is Batman In Name Only and that there is no way that anything there makes sense in canon.
Someone will buy it, and it might even reach the teen drama loving audience.
From a corporate standpoint, I get it. As a fan, I roll my eyes.
>bruce wayne is asian now
>selina kyle is a light skinned african american
>joker, the one that turns in to a deranged mass serial killer stays a white male.
Cant make this shit up.
