Depends on who's writing the show. Not to say the other arrowverse shows haven't had their agenda stuff at times, but Supergirl takes it to whole new levels. I remember that scene in the 3-part crossover where Supergirl chides Dr. Dee: "What, too afraid to be a woman?" Like, huh? Then I remembered, ah, this is the Supergirl portion of the crossover-- Supergirl writers and all.

So if Batwoman has her own writers separate from Supergirl, then it should be fine.

Well I remember reading on how Batwoman's show was described by the network as one that would be about her fighting for social justice and it seems like they are more interested in promoting her orientation than they are in promoting her as a whole character.
 
Flash has the least agenda piling writers, Supergirl's the...most hardcore

and ya I was like huh? it'd be super gross if Dr Dee turns himself into Supergirl when he already knows about Superman

Exactly. Let's see: two superbeings show up on your world, both with the same attire and same chest symbol. One is a woman, the other a man. You are also a man. Which of the two are you likely to steal from?

I mean, the guy already changed the world to make them think he was a god and took Superman's form. Isn't that enough to knock him for? No, the real tragedy is that he didn't choose to be a woman. sigh.

I've also seen people here and there criticize LOT for doing some agenda stuff. I don't see it though. I find that show to be the most innocent of the arrowverse shows.

The two ideas aren’t mutually exclusive. Particularly when Kate having suffered discrimination for her orientation already was a major part of her backstory in the comics.

Most superheroes have some political overtones whether intentional are not. Hell, most of fiction as a whole tends to reflect the author’s views. The issue is typically less people being upset about politics in their stories and more not agreeing with the politics presented.

There were people who had similar complaints about Luke Cage and Black Lightning dealing with police brutality, which I also found funny.

Yeah. And with Luke Cage and Black Lightning, those shows aren't pretending that they aren't about urban struggles. It's baked into the show.

Lol maybe Supergirl will fall in love with him or her when Dr Dee turns himself into, herself. Haha

The issue with Sara is that no woman is safe around her, she‘s a machine
 
No different than Capt Kirk, though. I think people just notice it more because she's a woman, imo.

Funny joke about Supergirl falling in love with herself, but I also can't hold the show against the character. I like her character. I like Alex, too. It's just the writing around them and some of their storylines that's just too much.
 
In too much pain, probably thought he was Beyonce or Blake Lively

I still don't get how the Joker gave him the coin and loaded the gun, did he have a back up plan?
The illusion of control.

When Joker puts the gun on Harvey's hand and then points the gun to his own head...he has his finger holding back the hammer.

I like Melissa and whoever is playing her sis, and Finn, even Ally McBeal was cute, but the writing was just...

That makes total sense! can you actually see it on screen tho? I tried, too many fingers. too bad Harvey didn't burn his fingers to make it easier to see.

so I guess Harvey got tail and just let him go?

(I've seen the movie at the cinema 6 times and many times at home and still don't get these haha)

Edit: I rewatched the scene - he cocked the gun already!

Why did the Joker take the risk of placing a gun in Harvey Dent's hand?

I hope one night when you go into the bathroom with all the free care in the world, and you turn on the lights and you see an old lady in a tub, you make out with her cause you go with the flow, you then run past a midget on a bike talking to two twin girls.

Man, Orange leaves such a weird taste in my mouth yet there's something to it that makes me like "enjoy" watching it. :D:

It has the most funny sex scene ever. Can't imagine what the shooting had to look like. :funny:
 
These pulp pictures... An attractive astronautess on an alien planet, in a bra and a pink tight pants, carrying a little gun that looks like a water pistol more than anything, who is lustfully observed by a dinosaur that has a tentacle in place of a paw... a.k.a. *your argument is invalid* :funny:

Yeap, rewatched it (what an awesome scene! Every bit of this movie is pure goodness :ilv: )

And yeap, it's the Joker (even after cocking the gun) holding the hammer with his index finger, so even if Harvey pulled the trigger, is was the Joker's call.

But there's another thing, the Joker clearly doesn't kill about dying as long as his death proves something, that everybody is a monster just like him, that's why he actually wants Batman to kill him, so he can prove that even the unbreakable Batman is corruptible, and I guess the same applies to Harvey and this point of the story.

Lately I've been getting more and more into this pulpy isshh, the aesthetics and sensibilities, I like them.
 
That could lead to an interesting story, if he starts out 50/50 between human an machine, but he suffers wounds to his human parts and they get replaced with more machinery. Slowly he is becoming more and more mechanical, he's worried that he is losing his humanity, that one day everything will have been replaced, and he will no longer exist.

Ties in thematically with the growing mechanisation and digitisation of society, automation of labour, artificial intelligence, and leans in to the body horror aspect of the character.
When I think about it, Cyborg should be the darkest DC blockbuster no question. All those themes are so important, pregnant and thought-provoking, yet so dark. #CyborgWasAheartOfJLuntilItWasnt

I'm so torn when it comes to this. It's so cool and makes you think about all those weird parts and nonsenses put together, yet it's all so WTF most of the time.
