"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Then again...

[ In a 2008 interview, Downey stated that his time in prison changed his political point of view somewhat, saying, "I have a really interesting political point of view, and it's not always something I say too loud at dinner tables here, but you can't go from a $2,000-a-night suite at La Mirage to a penitentiary and really understand it and come out a liberal. You can't. I wouldn't wish that experience on anyone else, but it was very, very, very educational for me and has informed my proclivities and politics ever since."[129] However, when asked about the quote in a 2015 interview to promote Avengers: Age of Ultron, he denied that his previous statement reflected any longstanding beliefs on his part, and stated, "I wouldn't say that I'm a Republican or a liberal or a Democrat.[130]

Man, with all the backpedaling he does from various statements they should hook him up to a generator and power half of Orange County.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I don't feel great about that.

Original BatGirl got into the game because she wanted to emulate BatMan and Robin, she wasn't trying to avenge a tragedy in her life. I want a girl with, as Christopher Fry put it, "An endearing disposition to be a hero," not someone bogged down with pain and suffering. Of course, pain and suffering are endemic to life, but someone who chooses to be a hero rather than forced into it by fate (Buffy, Spider-Man, et al, et al, et al) would be a nice change.

I sense a great disturbance....as if millions of voices suddenly cried out WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIFS in unison and then were suddenly punched in the mouth.

It could even be made tragic, Barbara is gung-ho but unprepared and bad things happen, but then she womans-up and saves the day. That's what Homecoming looks to be doing, if it's good enough for Spider-Man, it's good enough for BatGirl. (I'd love seeing the Bat Woman story brought back.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm with Steph. I wouldn't have thought Natasha Romanoff was bogged down with pain and suffering until Joss got his hands on her.

Natasha has a tragic back story in re: the things she's been made to do, and it didn't need to be more personal.

edit: Plus he wanted to fridge Clint's family in Ultron, which is lazy storytelling, so heaven knows what he'll do with the Batverse. If he's mulling over The Killing Joke, I'll be annoyed.

Ugh. For starters, Clint's family should be his brother and Pizza Dog.
