Shortpacked vs Frank Miller: Round 6

[starwolf_oakley]

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.

What's interesting is that she isn't all that different from Gordon at the beginning of Year One. The difference I can find is that in the beginning the corrupt officers around Gordon were being nice to Gordon because they thought they had someone who would follow along with their way of thinking; and when Yindel started playing a role, a lot of the corrupt officials were nice to her because having a woman as police commissioner gave them good political points. They both started out as tools to use in the minds of the corrupt people in charge, but they found that Batman were their most trusted ally, despite everything.
