She's never heard of Frank Miller, I'm assuming? Or maybe the comics at all?
Well, you'd better not be thinking what I think you're thinking, because my answer is the same as always — no threesomes unless it's boy-boy-girl. Or Charlize Theron.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Yeah, I don't know. She's fairly geeky, but I don't think she reads comics.
My comment on her post was "Batman's whole concept is that of a child driven to revenge after watching his parents brutally murdered. I really don't think the old 60s TV show matches that at all." Which comes across harsher than intended in retrospect, but I was dealing with an exploding head at the time.
I'll ask her if she's familiar with the comics at all, or if her only conception of the character comes from the assorted TV and movie appearances.
I want to say TV and movies have been more whacky than not, but thinking about it, the only whacky modern incarnations have been "Batman Forever", "Batman and Robin" and (sort of) "Batman: The Brave and the Bold". Everything else has been varying degrees of the Dark Knight-concept.

Burton's movies featured a Batwing equipped with giant scissors and an army of penguins wearing rockets on their backs.

And Burton also admitted he never read the comics either.

Point. I haven't watched those movies in ages. I just remember everyone being shocked at how "dark" they were because most non-comic folks were used to the 60's TV/Super Friends Batman.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Gail Simone has been fired from Batgirl: [link]
Which adds one more to the tally of JUST HOW MANY FUCKING TIMES ARE YOU GOING TO GUT ME, DC?
edit: on the plus side, I apparently just introduced several of my non-fan twitter friends to the word "cockpunch". Go me?

By email, even:
As of Wednesday of last week, I was informed by an email from my new editor that I am no longer the writer of Batgirl.
There should be a rule about that. Phones, people!

Srsly. Possibly worse than an email breakup.

@GailSimone did you not put enough women in refrigerators or something?
@themikecnelson Funny you should say that.
