Yes, falin can and should be able to wear a skirt. There is a very weird common misconception in regards to skirts being feminine only. Skirts can be masc depending on how you style them and I think falin would wear them along with her baggy clothes.

Case and point:

I love dispatch. Played it twice now but something keeps bugging me...

Invisigal is a very interesting character don't get me wrong, but I wish she didn't turn out the way she did in the final game.

As a quick disclaimer, attributing all of Invisigal's actions and behaviour to her ADHD is quite frankly disgusting. It can be a source but it isn't the primary influence as it is likely her entire upbringing that revolved around crime and being a villain shaped her mindset. It is also likely she never had a proper childhood hence why she acts immature most of the time.

Invisigal could have been a really good character, if not the best considering how much screentime she was given and how the plot centered around her. The writers had set up her character as a rebellious and emotionally dysfunctional individual, someone who would pose a challenge where sympathizing with them is concerned. Invisigal does have the foundation of a sympathetic character, considering she has only experienced a life of crime, however, I did not like how the game handled this.

For starters, her romance felt a little forced and awkward, made worse by the fact that the game centres her. Even before the starting point of the romance plot, invisigal's advances towards Robert always came off as weird and predatory. Most of their dialogue contains unprompted sexual innuendos that make the scenes awkward. Nothing wrong with sexual innuendos but there's no distinction between platonic jokes and borderline sexual harassment with invisigal considering she has violated Robert's personal space and boundaries on numerous occasions. Furthermore, it doesn't help that one of the episodes started out with a wet dream.

There's also the underlying "I can fix her" troupe throughout all their interactions including. Invisigal is not emotionally mature enough for a relationship nor does her attraction for Robert come from a place of genuine love. It borders more on obsessive than out of care considering her need for validation and the insecurities that push her to search for it. The romance route felt more like playing therapist and inadvertently feeding into those unhealthy desires. I feel like her redemption arc functions best when there's no romance attached to it as she is allowed to be her own person and better navigate her own emotions. Yes her arc can be completed without the need for romance, but it shouldn't have been an option in the first place or reserved for later.

Imo i think she could work best as a teenager which i will be covering in a sperate post.

As much as I would like Duke thomas to be a part of as much bat family content, i think it's also important to have him being independent. Having Duke have a comic run where he gets to be his own character (and maybe his own set of villains who knows) and not reduced to a member of the batfam would be far more interesting. He's not confined to the moral code of batman. He has similar ideals to him but he's flexible and much more radical and open about his distrust from the system having been failed by it and batman. He's much more likely to fight a bunch of cops than to work with them. Even though he did end up becoming a part of the we are robins movement, he hesitated because he didn't want to become another pawn in the system that barely addressed the problems of the disenfranchised in Gotham.

Also he quite literally stated that he doesn't need batman as his knowledge of the city and his upbringing inform how he goes about doing vigilante work

He's similar to spiderman in the sense that he's the neighborhood vigilante but his reason for becoming a hero stems from neglect he and others like him experienced because heroes like Batman don't know what it's like to grow up in poverty or be a victim of police brutality everyday.

He can't be the hero for Gotham's overlooked if he has to stay within Batman's parameters. Not saying he shouldn't be a part of the batfam but a lot of batfanon (and canon) content feel like he's shoehorned in because they're overcompensating for the fact that they don't know anything about him or don't know what to do with him (cough wfa cough). Considering the times his feelings of distrust towards law enforcement were invalidated multiple times by members of the batfamily, he should be a lot more distrustful of them than how he is written in canon regardless of how forgiving he is.

MF I WANT A SIGNAL RUN SO BAD. If Nightwing can have multiple successful ones then so can DUKE
