Official description:
“Armed with a passion for social justice and a flair for speaking her mind, Kate Kane soars onto the streets of Gotham as Batwoman, an out lesbian and highly trained street fighter primed to snuff out the failing city’s criminal resurgence. But don’t call her a hero yet. In a city desperate for a savior, Kate must overcome her own demons before embracing the call to be Gotham’s symbol of hope.”
I don't think Mad Ghost Productions are anything to worry about.
Stargirl and Green Lantern Corps are their only other yet-to-happen productions and so I think we're looking at someone who is late to the party and doesn't understand that we're all heading out elsewhere soon.
In 2028 the Earth is gay. Gay porn on the back of cereal boxes, mandatory texts that inform everyone who is gay within 5 miles, Effeminate Action laws, and 90% gay characters on all television shows and movies. ... and th-there's n-nothing wrong with that! {nervously smiles for hidden behavior cameras}
shareJust one step down from pedophilia acceptance....
shareI understand the concern of right-wingers over the propaganda shoe-horned into popular culture. I have two comments -- 1. If conservatives pursued the arts the way liberals do, this wouldn't be happening. 2. The only way to change it is to encourage your children to go into the arts. Yes, your children will not become rich stock market pirates, but they will make society look a little more balanced between the left and the right than the current media portrays it. That would be good for the country in the long run.
(And while you're at it, encourage them to go into education and journalism as well)
/Armed with a passion for social justice and a flair for speaking her mind/
Yeah like there's not enough of that in the Arrowverse at all. smh.
I take it you're not taking about her love for guns.
~~/o/
Bullets are just high-speed penises.
“The gun is good. The penis is evil. The penis shoots seeds, and makes new life to poison the earth with a plague of men, as once it was. But the gun shoots death, and purifies the earth of the filth of brutals. Go forth... and kill!"
I know I'm late to the party (just became aware of this show); but you should be aware that this is an adaptation of an existing comic. As they're simply (correctly) adapting the character as written originally, the snarky comments in this thread are more than a little absurd.
That is all.
Absent snark, there is no internet social comment. I think that’s a terrible thing, but it’s the truth. Snark replaces wit. Perez Hilton replaces Dorothy Parker.
I know: “Huh?” right? Exactly.
I don’t think reasonable people have an issue with the character being gay, it’s the description that’s the sticking point.
“ Armed with a passion for social justice and a flair for speaking her mind, Kate Kane soars onto the streets of Gotham as Batwoman, an out lesbian...”
It’s too much virtue signalling. Then there was trailer that spent just a touch too much time ramming home the fact this is not a man. There’s something to be said for subtlety.
LOL you make it sound like the character was created this way 50 years ago ... instead of changed in the 00's ...
shareNo. I make it sound like the character was created this way just over ten years ago. Which she was. The (completely different) character you're apparently thinking of no longer exists, in current continuity. The one they're making the show about is comic-accurate. So the complaints are, as I indicated, basic knee-jerk shrillness.
As always, I'll reserve judgement till I watch the thing. Trailers are rarely a good indication, these days. At least from one humble perspective.
Lol a reinvented character is not a completely different character at all. Judy another iteration of batwoman, which is a vastly older hero.
The humor around this series applies equally to this reinvented incarnation of batwoman - this is the point you are struggling to realise.
Sigh,
That's like saying Alan Scott is the same as Hal Jordan. Or Jay Garrick = Barry Allen. You are in fact the one struggling to understand a fairly simple concept: DC re-imagines their characters All The Time; "Batwoman" is a case in point. The current character has NOTHING in common with the first, aside from the name.
Glad this series amuses you, even before you've seen it. . .but I'll reiterate, since you seem to be having trouble: the thrust of the complaints in this thread seem to ignore the fact that the choices for the character simply reflect what's going on in the comics. They are NOT creative choices the showrunners are making.
If you don't get that, can't help you. Carry on.
Yeah it's pretty bad when you have to stretch context just so you can give yourself some kind of moral victory - that is hilarious indeed.
batwoman was reimagined to be 'progressive' and its indeed hilarious. This show is based on said 'reimagining' - no-one misinterprets this point. You're trying to cling onto this as the crux of your argument, which is pathetic.
??? There's no "argument" here. I don't go on the internet to argue. . . and certainly not with confused, random, anonymous internet trolls babbling in random directions.
Batwoman's been re-imagined a number of times (glad you can finally acknowledge that). If you want to call the current version in the comics "progressive," well then: good on ya. Enjoy.
No context stretching. No "moral victory" needed. Just a simple observation, which you continue to have a problem with. While I feel mildly sorry for you, I realized pretty early on I can't help you. So, as I said: Carry On. . .
