Burton's movies featured a Batwing equipped with giant scissors and an army of penguins wearing rockets on their backs.
May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

And Burton also admitted he never read the comics either.

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.

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?

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

Yikes indeed. Who do you fridge in Batgirl? I only read the first issue.

Just re-watched Alpha Male through Misplaced tonight.
Dick's "I don't want to be Batman - anymore." in Disordered... oof. Especially in light of what he ends up doing as Nightwing in Season 2.
Also, as much as I love Brent Spiner, his Joker in Revelation is just as lousy the second time around. (Though I blame part of it on the lines he was given.)

Hey, Steph: [link]
It's for Vertigo, so using a whip to enforce the serial comma would probably be expected.
