I take it that you didn’t know about the movie Zorro, The Gay Blade?

Not really. I think I noticed it at the time.

The last time I watched a movie in a theatre was Terminator.

Now I watch lots of movies, but it's on Netflix or Amazon. I wouldn't have noticed the Zorro movie.

Is Batwoman the same as Batgirl?

No.

Recall that Batgirl was Commissioner Gordon's   daughter, Barbara.

Batwoman, the character goes back to the mid-1950s if I recall, and though the memory of foggy, I think she is a wealthy industrialist like Bruce Wayne.

I also recall that she was not a lesbian.

They also had BatMite, a mischievous imp, who was also not a lesbian.

The thing is they prioritize viewpoint and "diversity" over story telling.  It is the same problem most Christian films have to some extent.  I just watched Hacksaw Ridge and it did an excellent job of presenting a world view without shortchanging the story telling of the movie.  Like I said I tried to watch black lightning on netflix.  But within the first 5 minutes it became apparent it was going to be just preaching a liberal narrative. These shows that just try to push a viewpoint are not effective story telling.  If I agree with it or not it is a turn off.

.... Batmanuel ....
 

The Tick was an awesome series and Batmanuel was a definite highlight.

 

Is the Batwoman thing happening due to Ben Affleck single handed-ly killing another franchise?

I’m surprised so many big tough guys are afraid of teh gays.

A segment of society which overwhelmingly supports liberal initiatives and which isn't known for responsible social conduct scares me a bit, yes (and I'm by no means big or tough). In some regards the gay community resembles the "anti-vaxxer community".

Probably part of the "New 52" thing they are doing.  I'm no expert but as I recall:

- Green Lantern is gay

- Apparently Batwoman is gay and wears a wig as part of her costume.  Honestly I wasn't even aware Batwoman was a character until this came up.

- Wonder Woman now wears pants - sometimes.  IMO this is the real tragedy.

On the plus side, they may have ditched this Robin uniform:

....so we'll call it a wash.

Not familiar with BatMite except from the Lego Batman movies (not the Lego Batman movie - a different thing on Amazon Prime I think) but I think he's an interdimensional imp who is obsessed with Batman.

Wouldn’t that be Frank Castle? 

Hell - he's probably gay now.  Not that there's anything wrong with that.......

More of can't figure out why they keep changing things around.  Marvel and DC both keep messing with stuff.  Jane Foster somehow became Thor?  WTF?

The good news is it's all comic books, and I don't read comic books anyway.

I used to read a lot of Spider-Man comics, and the Punishers.  The Punisher Spider-Man hook up annoyed me.  Spider-Man was getting in the way of the Punisher's mission and being self-righteous and liberal.  I liked the Punisher Graphic novels.  He was always about clearing out scum that were preying on others.
