Date: 2012-09-23 04:25 am (UTC)I really don't see a problem with the name Batgirl either, I mean, I know it's derivative, but that seems like kind of the point. She's a young girl inspired by Batman, so when it comes time for choose a name she's like "Batman, but I'm a girl, so.... Batgirl! Perfect!" Kind of a nitpicky thing for me to be on about, but I've wanted to say that ever since Aaron Diaz's Art Deco Batman cast Stephanie as Nightwing. So now I've said it.

Date: 2012-09-23 04:50 pm (UTC)I don't take any issue with eyeblack seen in the movies, it's probably the only way to keep the actor able to emote and connect, but I still think the facepaint here is kind of weird. As some other people have said, it does work as camouflage and helps to distort his features, but unless Batman really feels that criminals absolutely have to see his scowl, he doesn't have much reason not to just armor his whole head and close the gaping hole in his armor. I suppose it could be argued that a full face mask/helmet would be uncomfortable, but it would offer a bit more protection and I think that if we question how comfortable the costume is to wear then the whole spandex suit paradigm comes crashing down.
Also, for the record, I thought Black Canaries eyeblack looked pretty silly, I mean, it made sense, but I feel like it looked kind of Halloween costume-y, as a fair few of the show's costume's did. And apparently they'll be using a similar look to replicate Ollie's mask on the upcoming "Arrow" TV show, possibly under the justification of it being like hunter's camouflage, which at least justifies it more than Black Canary did. I feel like while that kind of mask/paint works for us an audience, it doesn't make a ton of sense in-universe. It would probably be quicker and more identity concealing for both of them to just tie a TMNT mask around their heads. I guess I'm just angry about the upcoming show's general look, and I'd probably forgive the show if Ollie just had his glorious beard back.

Batgirl solidifies her as his sidekick and smaller half, names are important, Nightwing (she's called that here right?) solidifies her as a partner, but something separate, her own.

Even worse when Nightwing did it in Morrisons run.

Date: 2012-09-23 07:41 pm (UTC)Basically I don't want Supergirl or the very... odd Smallville-continuity-choices to be forgotten. :)
*My memory is a bit fuzzy, so I could be wrong on this, but she was def up for doing camera interviews and was an active daytime hero, calling herself Supergirl before Clark took up the name.
