I have to disagree with a few things said here. I absolutely despised the pseudo-lesbian nonsense that Dini/Timm forced upon Poison Ivy. I mean really -- what was the point? I see no benefit other than giving fanboys something to ogle. I have no problem with hinting at a pansexual nature --...

It's funny to me that a few people seem to be put off by Poison Ivy's "new" powers because she isn't doing anything she hasn't done before -- she's just doing MORE of what her powers have always allowed. I do adore the original BTAS Ivy, but her origin deviated from her comic book history...

Oh please, these are far from "the worse" cartoon girls. To say such a thing only shows a lack of perspective. They are fitting to the style of the show -- these aren't supposed to be beings with precise human proportions. I dig the costumes -- they are very innovative, which is a good thing. I...

Well -- I am always a sucker for the coppertops...er, redheads. The original BTAS Poison Ivy is the most beautiful female. I would dare to say that all of the DCAU women of today are based on her original designs. The now classic Timm vamp/femme fatale physique. (Black Canary is basically a...

I have yet to watch an episode of The Batman because I am still not at all thrilled with the featured characters -- mainly the villains. I check back here every now and then to see if characters like Poison Ivy, Scarecrow or Two-Face are being introduced to the new series -- and so far, no...

I've tried (mostly) to stay out of the "Catwoman" yay or nay debates because most discussions turn ugly. I do plan on seeing Catwoman. I've followed the history of this film -- from internet whispers, to the casting of Halle, the costume uproar...and now the actual release. My expectations...

Hmmm...I do know that the Catwoman/Timm illustration(s) you are mentioning have been used on various types of stationary and journals. Like this for instance: http://www.actionismyreward.com/item-0811837955.shtml&templates=2 So, I suspect that those images were licensed for use on various...

Ugh. This is bad news. I will happily go on record as saying this is one of those shows I love(d). The Parkers has always been underrated as a sitcom. I suppose it's because it (originally) appeared on UPN and was often lost in a shuffle of the many disposeable comedies that haunted the...

I searched this thread looking for any mention of the "new" Juicy Fruit gum campaign...but found little or no mention, sorry if this is a repeat. I really (REALLY) hate that commerical that shows a girl opening up a pack of Juicy Fruit gum (at school) and she is suddenly mobbed by other kids...

Speaking of better arguments... Sexual identity and sexual activity are two different things. Straight men and women don't cease to be straight (heterosexual) just because they stop having sex or "relationships". We as humans don't slip into a non-descript sexual limbo just because we aren't...

I think it's admirable that you were willing to defend your friends in hostile moments -- but those potentially dangerous situations shouldn't exist in the first place. A public school should not be some battleground that primes gay youth for society at large. Personally, I wasn't willing to...

I am not foolish enough to think that gay kids are the only people within public schools who suffer ridicule. Yes, the fat kids, the short kids, the smelly kids et al -- they are all prone to ribbing. But many of the traits you bring up are changeable. People do grow, lose weight, take a speech...

It infuriates me that a few posters in this thread toss around epithets like "fag" so carelessly -- and also conclude that because some gay students want to attend a non-violent/gay friendly school that they are somehow "pansies". It's that kind of attitude that validates the existence of this...

Um...Coolio is probably one of the most tame (user friendly) crossover rap artists out there. I am not sure why you would cite this artist (of all people) as having a negative influence on children. I am sure his rap songs like "Fantastic Voyage" aren't causing children to yearn for bling and...

Why do you even bother posting if your comments and responses are going to amount to nothing more than word twisting and catty sarcasm (adding nothing to the "conversation")? Thanks, but no thanks.
