This article is full of errors and incorrect assumptions. For starters, the quip by Batman & Robin director Joel Schumacher about Batgirl's (Alicia Silverstone) costume havine nipples was in relation to the fact that Batman & Robin's costumes featured nipples, hence his "we're an equal opportunity movie".

Rumors that the movie was a woke mess is confirmed here: Aside from having a Batgirl of color, Batgirl’s best friend, a trans woman named Alysia Yeoh, was played by trans actor Ivory Aquino. This would have marked the first time a live action feature film adaptation of a DC Comics title would feature an openly trans character. Why did they need a "trans character"? I get that rans people exist, but why did they need to include one unless they were going out of their way to be woke?

She also goes on to say Batman vs Superman was a colossal flop. It wasn't. It did not perform as well as expected and got some bad reviews, but it made a lot of money.

She goes on to say that they are releasing The Flash with Ezra Miller in spite of his apparent mental breakdown and legal problems. This is not true. They are talking about shelving that one, too and if not, refilming without Ezra "Gender-Fluid" Miller (I don't know why they cast that nutjob in the first place).

Her stupidest comment is this: Some fanboys couldn’t deal with the fact that they weren’t getting the Batgirl they wanted.. This shows how tone-deaf wokesters really are. Instead of making a movie that would appeal to the actual fans of the genre, she would rather they make some woke POS for a miniscule group of woke fans who care about wokeness more than entertainent.

It’s the Dixie Chicks syndrome. The people who lauded the Dixie Chicks for their political stance, never bought their music.

And then the wokesters wouldn't go see the movie anyway.
