Looks like Batgirl is all grown up. And, now, apparently, in a break from her storyline in the olde TV series, she is now a lesbian: link Hmmmmm…….. I suspect it will only be a matter of time before Bruce Wayne/Batman has competition for Catwoman's affections. A love triangle that could prove to be quite complicated…… |

Hmm, I wouldn't say it's a break, it wasn't contra-indictated in the olde TV character. |

And this has what to do with wargaming? |

It's a different character. Been around for years. But good job on doing the barest minimum of research. |

Batwoman (Kate Kane) is a different character than Batgirl (Barbara Gordon). This being superhero comics, it's a lot more convoluted than that. "What has this to do with wargaming?" This. Ron |

Background for scenarios and plot twists, of course. |

Yuppers, have to know how to trap the heroes! |

What does her sexual orientation have to do with anything? Let alone miniature gaming. |

I always thought the Batwoman character would make a great subject for a TV series of movie. |

Google and Wikipedia are your friends. Batwoman is a totally different character than Batgirl. Batgirl was the daughter of Commissioner Gordon. I think. Batwoman was Katy Kane. A new editor in 1964 totally eliminated a whole slew of extraneous "Bat" people. This included Batgirl, Batwoman etc. In 1985 it was retconned that Batwoman never existed. Then around 2005, Batwoman was re-introduced, again as Katherine Kane. And she came back, in 2005, as lesbian. That's 13 years ago. This happens time and again on TMP. "Guys" who have no clue about a character's complicated soap opera life get … perplexed when a movie character comes out as not white, not straight. Not long ago, the Earth and Heavens collapsed when Captain Marvel was "revealed" to be a …. girl! (Which Captain Marvel has been since 1975. ) I'm also guilty. I was annoyed when Peter Jackson threw in a romance between an elf and a dwarf in The Hobbit. That was most certainly NOT in the book, damn your eyes! What does this have to do with wargaming? I could say that about half of all topics on TMP. One more thing. I don't like ANY Batman movie. That whole Dark Knight nonsense is just that. Nonsense. |

Been there, done that. What's the big deal? link |

As for dwarf and elf romance, since first reading The Lord of the Ring, I always presumed that Legolas and Gimli had a thing going. Dark Knight, ptooh! Adam West *is* Batman. ~ , ~ |

Legolas and Gimli did go on vacations together. One room. |

What really frosted me was the Aragorn/Brego romance plotline. YouTube link |

Coelacanth, I stand corrected sir. |

I'm also guilty. I was annoyed when Peter Jackson threw in a romance between an elf and a dwarf in The Hobbit. That's all you could find wrong in that mess? Adam West *is* Batman Kevin Conroy is Batman. |

"Kevin Conroy is Batman" Kevin who? Never heard of him. Dan |
Muncehead | 10 Oct 2018 3:41 p.m. PST |
Kevin Conroy did Batman's voice in the animated series and a lot of the animated films too. |
15mm and 28mm Fanatik | 10 Oct 2018 5:48 p.m. PST |
I thought Bruce Wayne is Batman. |

I do confess to not keeping up with, or even being interested in the arcane history of comic-book characters. I did find the announcement interesting though, since it offers up lots of possible plot twists for various games. |

When I was a kid, I thought Batgirl[Yvonne Craig] in the '60s' Batman TV series was pretty darn "hot" ! |

Yvonne was a big crush of mine. Dan |
