“ 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
Women who look like women are apparently “fat” now.
They need to take their costumes seriously and see who looks the part. Gal Gadot, the Wonder Woman was in the IDF so she was fit and her body was perfect for the part.
And you are, of course, correct.
