I will admit that they've had their moments that made me reluctantly admit that it kind of worked. And in something like Kingdom Come, it does work a bit better.

But Lois and Clark belong together.

And that is a subject that I have written about before. You can find that piece in both my deviantART gallery and on my Tumblr.

Shameless plugging in my 8,000th post. Wow.

Let's hope he treats Barbara Gordon with more respect than the original story.

Yeah, I can see a film adaptation just keeping the shooting itself and cutting all "implications" around it.

I just want Barbara to fight back. Because, realistically, that's what she would have done. She wouldn't have just stood in the doorway. She'd punch the Joker right in his grinning face. There'd be a struggle.

If they wanna do it right they shoudl do it like they did in Arkham Knight. Where the Joker shoots at the exact moment Babs opens the door giving her no time to react at all.

I would think she'd look through the peephole first.

Personally, I wish they'd just do away with the whole crippling thing. It was a product of its time and it shows. But since that's probably not going to happen, I think Barbara at least deserves one last fight where the Joker only gets in a cheap shot.

Given that she has one.

I like the crippling thing. Not the act how it happened but what it did for Babs as a character. Not being able to use her legs forced her to develop her mind and other skills and became a new kind of hero that wasnt just highly valuable for Batman but the superhero community as a whole.

She lives in America. I have yet to come across a house or an apartment or a home with a front door of some kind that doesn't have a peephole.

Oh, the development after that was definitely important. But it would have been unnecessary if Alan Moore hadn't made such a boneheaded decision in the first place. It says a lot about a story when the writer regrets their treatment of a character in a story like Alan Moore did with Babs in The Killing Joke.

I´m not from America I dont know that. But hey its Gotham and Gotham is a giant shithole of a city Joker could always shoot her through the door when she looks through the peephole.

His decision may have been bad but its something that is part of her character now. And taking that away when you can still turn it into something good seems like a pretty big loss to me. You can make that story work. Arkham Knight did exactly that for example.
