Wow just WOW! When Gotham gets it right, it hits it straight out of the park!
That is how you do a hallucination sequence! Loved the interactions between the villains. Court of Owls, Pengi and Tetch.
Im guessing the Court is behind Ed's new love interest? I also guess this may cause the eventual rift between Ed and Penguin. Was that meant to be Jim's Dad talking to Katherine?
Do you mind if I have a piece of your thigh? It would complement this fine '76 chiraz -

This is exactly how you made me feel!
Well when you're obsessed with something like I am you want to know as much about it as possible! And you know a lot about comics I am not aware of and have me gathering up stuff to read in the following year. Going to be reading a lot of Teen Titans, Birds of Prey, Batgirl, Batman, Wynonna Earp, and Hack/Slash because of you!

Awww! That's very sweet of you to say.
I know what you mean with being obsessed with something and I have been obsessed with music for a long time and when my sister bought me my first guitar I didn't stop practicing until I learned how to play it. I am what some people like to call a completest with albums and Beccy and I both have a large collection of albums here and when I buy an album of an artist or band and I really like them like I did with Liz Longley last year I have to buy all their albums 'cause it annoys me until I have them and can listen to all their other songs.
With some artists it is only 4 or 5 albums but I like a lot of Classic Rock bands and some of them have up to 30 albums each. Amazon is the best way to get them 'cause they are very cheap and I love the Auto Rip option that comes with them now.
I have been reading comic books for since I was 6 or 7 and I mostly read DC comics but I also love a lot of Marvel, Image Comics, Dark Horse, IDW and Volcano Comics characters and I know more about female superheroes than most comic book readers I know do 'cause I relate to female characters more and it annoys me that there are not more female lead comic book movies 'cause there have been hundreds of successful female lead comic books that haven't even got their own movies. It is a joke that Witchblade and Darkchylde still don't have movies now when their comic books were so popular in the late 90s and early 00s they were outselling most of the popular DC and Marvel superheroes including Batman, Superman and Spider-Man in sales. If you have any questions about female superheroes you can ask me.

But it's true! You always put a smile on my face!
I keep kicking myself because I don't buy as much music as I do books and movies. I don't really have an excuse except maybe I'm more crazy about books and films. I can relate to being a completest. I was that way when buying comics, though now I tend to see whose writing it first. Some writers I just don't care for and I have no desire to read, even if it's a character I like. I have found this has spared me of some really bad runs.
I got into comics about the same age as you. My mom would come home from work with a DC or Marvel title some well known some not so much. But I loved reading all of them! I tend read exclusively male characters up into my 20s but then I decided to read comics with female characters and found out I could relate to them just as well. Funny how much we all have in common if we just bother to look.
I'm surprised a lot of the popular female characters of the 90s never got a movie. Didn't Witchblade have a TV series? Female superheroes seem to do better on TV then movies. It's weird. And sad.

We don't talk about that.

It was a product of the era. And that's the best thing I have to say about it.

Witchblade had a TV series in the early 00s and while it was a product of its time as Lith noted it was the highest rated TV show in history to be cancelled and the show only ended because the main star, Yancey Butler had alcohol problems and had to go to rehab. Witchblade should have been made into a movie first cause a lot of the things in the comic books couldnt be done in a show and if you could picture what a TV show of Green Lantern would be like it was kinda that. Theres a Darkchylde movie in development and John Carpenter is attached to direct it but it has been put on hold for the past 6 years and John Carpenter said in an interview not long ago it was still being made but he didnt know when it was coming out or if he would still be involved in it and it is like the Avengelyne movie.
A lot of female characters from the 90s would have had their own movies if they were men and even some of the creators of the characters who are males have said it and acknowledged the sexism that is prevalent in Hollywood with strong female characters while male comic book characters who have not even sold half the comic books Witchblade and Darkchylde have had movies that went on to flop but they still got their own movies. The sales and popularity of some of these character show it is The fact we still havent got a Batgirl movie or TV show when the 50tth anniversary is coming up next year is a joke and we should have a Batgirl TV show!!
The female comic book characters I would like to see have their own movies are- Batgirl
- Supergirl (Linda Danvers) or Fallen Angel
- Witchblade
- Darkchylde
- Birds of Prey
- Aphrodite IX
- Red Sonja (Written by Gail Simone like the upcoming video game)
- Raven
- Spider Woman
- Batwoman
- The Magdalena
- Zatanna
- Avengelyne
- Starfire
- Shanna the She-Devil
- Calie Liddle (Wonderland Series)
- Monstress
- Ms Marvel
- Power Girl
- Dejah Thoris

That's a shame what happened with Yancy Butler. Hopefully she's better now. Apparently there is a Witchblade film that has been in developmental Hell since 2008. No idea what's going on there.
John Carpenter attached to Darkchylde? OMG! He's my favorite director! I was watching some of his best last week. Oh wow. Shame that film is in DH too and might not get made with him.
Did you see Barbara Gordon is in the Lego Batman movie? She's the new commissioner of the GCPD. Yeah it's a kid's comedy and she's not the lead but I think it's pretty neat.
Batgirl TV show would be awesome.
Didn't know Deja Thoris had her own series. I read A Princess of Mars and the movie John Carter. She's an awesome character. But then I looooove warrior women.
It's funny. I love warrior women but want a sensitive man.

I am not sure what is going on with it either but it is very disappointing cause a movie of Witchblade would be awesome if it was done right and it should have been made years ago especially over some of the lesser known comic book characters who are getting movies now but I think it all comes down to Witchblade being a comic book movie about a female hero like I said above and Hollywood rarely make any of those no matter how successful they are cause the executives dont like female heroes and there has been long history of that going back to Batgirl with Yvonne Craig. The only reason that we even got a Wonder Woman TV series with Lynda Carter in the 70s was cause of the backlash the network got from fans and people working in the industry over not going through with the Batgirl TV show with Yvonne Craig and even the creator of Wonder Woman acknowledged that in interviews.
A lot of executives in Hollywood see the concept of a woman being a hero as a joke and they feel it is emasculating to have female heroes save male characters and the so-called emasculation was one of the main complaints about Wonder Woman from sexist jerks who sent a lot of abusive letters to the writers of the Wonder Woman show and I am not sure if you have seen some of the documentaries about the Wonder Woman show but there was one of Foxtel last year that talked about it and there was a period where DC gave into the sexism from threatened males and made Wonder Woman into a character who spent all her time shopping, cooking and wanting to look beautiful for her boyfriend while her boyfriend did most of the crime fighting and a lot of female readers complained and it was eventually changed back but for that period the Wonder Woman comics were an absolute joke.
Thankfully the TV show didnt give into the same sexism and ignored all the haters and regardless of all the complaints Wonder Woman went on to become one of the most successful superhero shows of all time and few superhero shows have had the same success it had. Sadly we have had to wait for decades for a Wonder Woman movie and I still think they made a mistake making movie of Supergirl in the 80s instead of Wonder Woman cause Lynda Carter was open to doing one and it would have been far more successful with Wonder Womans popularity at the time but Warner Bros have said if the new Wonder Woman movie is successful they will make more movies of female superheroes and they have acknowledged a lot of people want movies of female superheroes so that could help with a Witchblade, Darkchylde and Aphrodite IX movie and the Avengelyne movie could help too.
John Carpenter was attached to Darkchylde and he is a fan of the series and with John doing it I think it could have been successful but like others it got stopped. I dont know if you ended up getting that Darkchylde graphic novel I told you about a few weeks ago but I got it in the mail a few days ago and it turned out to be a novel adaptation of the series. I heard they were making a novel of Darkchylde but I didnt know it was that and I have been reading it and it is really good so far and I would like to see more comic books adapted into novels. There was a Batman novel that came out last year called The Riddlers Gambit and it was based between Arkham City and Arkham Knight. Deja Thoris has her own comic book series and had for a while now and I am surprised you didnt know about it but I will give you a link for some of the graphic novels on Amazon below.
It's funny. I love warrior women but want a sensitive man.
Yeah. I have always been kinda like that too except Beccy is the perfect combination of warrior and sensitive.
