The killing off of 'Batgirl' was a senseless blow to diverse DC Comics fans (NBC)

NBC ^ | Aug. 7, 2022 | Patricia Grisafi, culture writer

[Salman]

Synopsis: The problem is racist sexist comic book fans. And movies about superheroes are serious serious cultural business for real grownups like the author.

Economic Analysis: Apparently, somehow through it all, Warner Brothers is still in business to make money.

[ArtDodger]

Start referring to Batgirl’s death as a late-term abortion. That should silence most of the critics.

[Thommas]

Hahahahahahahaha. The tears of my enemies are delicious.

[Sarcazmo]

Whoever wrote that article is an idiot. Is this how people talk these days?

I must be in a bubble.

[NorthMountain]

This dreck isn’t “news”. It’s anti-White racial bigotry.

[Red Badger]

...Yvonne Craig is the ONLY BATGIRL!.........................

[FlingWingFlyer]

Geez. A company loses money dumping “Batgirl” in the dumpster and people in this country start whining like a bunch of whinyass little kids screaming that it’s the end of the world. The idiot comic fans need to grow up. You can’t act retarded all of your life.

[Da Coyote]

Shove it, NBC. No senient being believes your bullshi...er...bull Dorkbama.

Just sit there and hang out with your fellow very, very low IQ fellow journalism majors and pretend that we actually care about anything you say.

[HYPOCRACY]

Zaslav is just getting started with his dismantling of the woke idiots at WB. The other race swapped crap Supergirl also chopped and faggot, psycho Ezra Miller Flash also scrapped.

[Dr. Franklin]

Why can’t Batgirl get a break?

Because they just can't replace the wholesome Yvonne Craig with a woke, biracial lesbian. People just won't pay to see that crap!

[Army Air Corps]

According to what I have read elsewhere, this film was a wretched mess. The studio execs pulled the plug before they sank money into distributing this turkey.

[HamiltonJay]

“ When “Batman and Robin” came out in 1997, it seemed like everyone was focused on Alicia Silverstone’s body. The actor who played Batgirl was greeted with misogynistic and body-shaming echoes of “Fatgirl” by so-called fans of the franchise.”

What claptrap…. What I remember most people focusing on was the insanely gay costumes of Batman and Robin and mocking the fact they had nipples, and how generally bad it was. I don’t recall much if any commentary about Silverstone being fat.

I am sure there may have been some comments by someone in that vein, but hardly was it a large or major amount of attention

[txeagle]

It would appear that the wallets of “diverse DC Comics fans” were welded as shut as everybody else’s.

[Seruzawa]

Yes the movie industry is supposed to operate at a loss so that wokesters can feel good.

See post 12. This article starts out with a flagrant lie and just goes down from there..

[txeagle]

It ain’t acting. It’s weapons-grade perpetual adolescense.

[LIConFem]

They get all upset over a comic book character, but have no problem pulling unborn children apart in their mothers’ wombs. These are sick fekkin’ people we’re dealing with.

[Seruzawa]

Women who look like women are apparently “fat” now.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

If you want a diverse superhero, come up with one.

The majority of current super heroes were invented by men. Most of them Caucasian, some of them Jewish.

If you can not enjoy them, then invent your own.

Just changing their skin tone or their sex does not count. That is lazy and not creative.
