It feels like an oversight to not have an episode within the first half of the first season dedicated to how the people of Gotham would react to the Batman reappearing after being gone for over two decades. Like, yeah Powers and Barbara are both moderately surprised, but you’d think there would be people in the streets going “OH MY GOD IS THAT FUCKING BATMAN?!?”

The Spider-Noir show made a big deal out of Spider-Man returning after being retired for five years. And I don’t think Ben Reilly in Spider-Noir was active for nearly as long as Bruce was in the DCAU.

Soo something I didn’t really pick up on until it happened right in front of me today, is that when a dog is out in public and gets rowdy or aggressive, the dog owner usually says “Oh my goodness he’s not usually like that he’s usually so sweet trust me 😅”

Whenever I’m around someone else’s cats (or someone else is around mine) and the cats hiss and run away, the default understanding and response is “Nah don’t take it personally, they’re just scared of a new person. It’s normal.” I’ve never gone or seen anyone go “What the heck Mittens? She’s usually so sweet! I swear she’s a good kitty!”

Why do dog owners feel the need to make excuses, but cat owners just don’t?

So, as we all know, the trope of getting hit in the head to be knocked out for a while is NOT realistic, because if you aren’t getting up in a few seconds, you’re almost certainly getting permanent brain damage.

So I gotta wonder, is there any way realistically to achieve the “knocked out so they can be kidnapped and taken to another location” trope realistically (without using any kind of drugs either.)

How is it that you have your main villain be an intergalactic sex trafficker who murders multiple families while giggling, and I feel NOTHING when he gets stabbed in the throat? Like, obviously I was glad that Kara actually killed him and didn’t follow her own advice, because I was gonna write the entire film off if they seriously pulled the “Don’t kill him, it won’t make the pain go away” card all the way through.

But like, I should hate this guy. Because he’s one of the most heinous supervillains I’ve seen on screen. But I feel NOTHING towards him. Why is that? He’s pure evil, right down to the bone. So why did I have this expression when Kara killed him? 🫥

Can someone smarter than I am explain what went wrong here?

Also as a side note I did enjoy the movie. It wasn’t really anything to write home about but it wasn’t bad. Lobo was peak as expected. It was just kind of a normal superhero movie.
