I got two questions regarding Reeves' Batman: Do you think Harvey should've been the anti-corrupt antagonist that Riddlers seems to be or are you like me hoping that it twists around and the Riddler 'accidentally' creates Two-face? And do you think Harvey is seemingly excluded from this film because his last film appearance was alongside Joker, a character Reeves' wanted to stay away from?

My HOPE is that Harvey is being saved so he can be the focal point of his own movie rather than just being a secondary character and pawn in some other villain’s scheme. But I also don’t trust anybody to take the character seriously enough to make that happen. I remember when that was supposed to be the plan for Nolan’s “Batman Begins” sequels, that Part 2 would be the fall of Harvey and Part 3 would be the rise of Two-Face. Like, yeah, the Joker would still be involved, but at least he’d have his own movie!

Obviously, no one knows what Reeves’ plans are, assuming this gets a sequel (and it probably will, it’s Batman, it’ll be successful enough). Any plans he has are subject to change, and I’ve been burned (ha) too many times by writer treating Harvey as an afterthought to expect much.

If I could put my hopes in anything at this point, it’s that the rumors are true and that the success of Joker has led to greedy, cynical execs at WB wanting MORE VILLAIN MOVIES ALL THE VILLAINS WE OWN, which would mean a nonzero possibility of there actually being a Two-Face movie. Because as we handful of fans know well, he’s got enough of an arc to support being the focal point of his own movie. They wouldn’t even have to construct an entire new tragic background of loneliness and mental illness to make it work as an unrecognizable version of the character, cough cough Joker.

Who are you going to pick as starter?

i have a bias for fire starters but cinderace is just so underwhelming i’d rather take the twink lizard

What's your take on Scorcese's and Coppola's stance on Capemovies?

Honestly, I can see the anger at Disney literally crowding out everyone else from theaters to shove their movies down audience’s throats for months at a time, but that’s not specifically a Marvel issue (Star Wars and live-action remakes like Maleficent are even worse offenders; at least the shared universe thing is a novel twist on movie franchising) and doesn’t really affect the quality of a movie itself.

Anyway, I tend to think that something like Ant-Man And The Wasp, which at least succeeds in entertaining audiences, is better than a lot of would-be Oscar bait, which is every bit as cookie-cutter formulaic, to the point where comic book movies are starting to cannibalize it (see Joker).

Platonic cough OR NOT cough bbjinx headcanons pls. Glad you're back btw!

oooh wink wonk this is interesting

- jinx thought beast boy was ridiculous the first time she saw him. beast boy thought she was gorgeous. horrendously evil, but gorgeous. 

- after the whole Thing that made her switch to the Good Guy side they spent more time together bc,,,, titans 

- sometimes she laughs at beast boy’s jokes and he just beams

- pink and green actually go very well together and don’t think this is lost on jinx because it very much isn’t 

- they go on a mission together, incognito into like a prom night and they match. so well. her dress is ruined by the end of the night bc fighting but she also destroyed the villain who ruined her dress so it’s ok

- beast boy gives her all sorts of random candy. it’s usually never chocolate, but chocolate isn’t her favorite, anyway. she likes kicking ass with a lollipop in her mouth, and always gets pissed whenever a villain knocks it out.

- jinx is literally the embodiment of “only I get to insult him like that” with exceptions for the og titans and some other people bcuz they’re basically his family too

- they both love amusement parks but jinx can handle a helluva lot more than beast boy. she does not have his determination, though, so if they do a competition of who can get the highest number of rides on the teacups without quitting usually beast boy wins. he’s horrifically sick, but he wins.

6164. When they started dating, Beast Boy's pet name for Raven became '(his) darling'. Mostly because Rita used that for Steve and it stuck with him. Also, if he'd call Raven 'Babe' or 'Mama' ever again, she will kill him.

Did you finish Harleen #3 yet?

I only had a chance to skim it, but even that was enough to make me want to buy the trade when it comes out. From what I can tell, this is not only the best Harley story I’ve read in recent memory, but it’s also the true successor to “Mad Love.”

On top of that, Harvey Dent is used in a crucial and fascinating way, despite some shortcomings which would have bothered me more in a lesser story, but which WORKED here. The whole thing feels more like great, thoughtful fanfic than a standard DC Comic, and I mean that as a huge compliment. It blows every other DC Black Label comic out of the water in terms of care and quality of story, character, ideas, and humanity.

I’m definitely gonna need to write up a whole proper review sometime down the line.

What's your opinion on the 'Galar Snap'

i can’t git gud and suck at making a proper comp team so i don’t care too much

but it’l be refreshing to see teams made that aren’t just “hey here’s the perfect IV team i made like 5 games ago and refuse to use anything else” or “hey here’s a team of 6 legendaries”.. it’s both an issue with comp battling AND for-fun one-off battles, at least in my opinion

battles aside, i’m sure the devs want us to actually appreciate the new pokemon

I feel sorry for those who get your icon. Too many of us share this curse

she’s a terrible curse
