No more of a hurdle than, say, Adam West and the homoerotic camp of the Batman TV series.
I'd like to see the Batusi in the current comics.
You're not gonna jokey-rhyme your way out of this one.

Tim Burton overcame Adam West.
And Joel Schumaker quickly regressed. There's a lot of people who are still stuck in the mindset.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't love the Schumaker Batman, but I don't see it as being in the same spirit as Adam West, at all.

Maybe you will if Quentin Tarrantino ever licenses rights for a comics adaptation of Pulp Fiction.

You mean it's not homoerotic camp?

Far be it from me to deem all homoerotic camp as the same.
While it may also be homoerotic and camp, I don't think it is in vaguely similar ways.

And Joel Schumaker quickly regressed.
And Chris Nolan may wind up rescuing the franchise and elevating it to a whole new level.
I have my hopes.

I can't even.

It's so cute how not-jaded you are, despite living in the belly of the beast.

Well, at the very least, it doesn't look campily homoerotic.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The thing about WW having to be white -- is Bullseye not a "known" enough character for it to matter? What about the current Ving Rhames Kojak thing? I'm not saying it's likely, but I don't think it's impossible. Of course, a non-white WW still wouldn't lead to Gina Torres getting the part.
