Shortpacked vs Frank Miller: Round 6
Wednesday's Shortpacked had another Frank Miller joke. As usual, it is on-point. I, however, go off-point with idle thoughts about "Dark Knight Rises."
Seeing Ellen Yindel was the inspiration for Ellen Yin in "The Batman." A good cop who just doesn't like the idea of a masked vigilante.
I've wondered if Ellen Yin would have worked as a rookie cop in "Dark Knight Rises" instead of John Blake. We could get a better explanation than "Bruce Wayne seemed sad, and I realized Batman would be sad too." Also, we find out her legal first name is Cassandra.

Apparently it's part of why he is such a "people" person, he can, without realising it it would seem, accurately gauge their emotional state and react in kind. Of course, the fact the reboot has wiped out about 90% of the reason he was such a people person, by excising almost his entire career as Robin and wiping out his Teen Titans history because they never existed just adds to the "fun".

I mean, I like Dick (does anyone not like him?) but Cass is one of my fav and that they diss her so much and remove her from continuity and then they basically give her specific shtick to Dick? GRRR ARGH.
Also yeah, as you highlight Dick doesn't need it because he had a perfectly good reason for being a people person and a perfectly rounded set of skill as a leader and an acrobat and everything.
Nice to see DC still find news ways to descend lower in my regard.
