GOTHAM Season 3 Is Recasting 'Poison Ivy'

@BatmanHeisenberg - what awful characterization of Batman in the Snyderverse?

@BatmanHeisenberg - which comic book batman? its a long history and he's done both

@Beetleborg - He killed in his first year, and this was later retconned out of existence almost immediately. Since then, who has he killed? Really, in main continuity, he killed Darkseid, and this was to save the planet, and it was something he didn't take lightly like Batfleck.

Every other instance has been retconned out of existence. So please, tell me, when has Batman actually killed, in main continuity, and with the exception of Darkseid, has it stayed? I'll wait.

@BatmanHeisenberg - why does it have to be in main continuity? why does that matter? Comic book writers get to do their own thing with characters, why can't the movie creators?

@BatmanHeisenberg - He'skilled The Joker multiple times in continuity. Yes he keeps coming back, but Batman is either directly or indirectly responsible for most of his deaths.

@Beetleborg - You're missing the point. The only times Batman has killed rampantly is obscure out-of-continuity stores no one cares about. Snyder is free to do with the DC characters whatever he wants. But that doesn't mean it is not to be criticized.

When Marvel makes a major deviation in their characters in the movies, people talk about it. The Mandarin, Ultron, Whiplash etc. were all heavily scrutinized upon release, and continue to be. And they should be talked about.

Time and time again, in my opinion, comic accuracy has proven to be one of the best things a movie or tv show can do. The Dark Knight trilogy, the first two Superman movies, the first two Spider-Man movies and most Marvel movies and tv shows are the defining parts of the comic book adaptation pantheon, and guess what? They all happen to be the most comic accurate! It, to me, shows me that sometimes staying close is better than heavily deviating.

I grew up with DC Comics (and Marvel too!!), and I always wanted to see a comic accurate DC movie universe. Marvel got their's, and I feel left out when Snyder seems to get the visual flair of comics and characters, but misses out on the character motivations and what not. It feels disingenuous to the characters.

Again, to reiterate, Snyder, WB and DC can do whatever they like. They are not beholden to the source whatsoever. I just feel that when it's been proven SO CONSISTENTLY that comic accuracy tends to be the better route to take, it might be the right path for people (not) currently doing that.

@AMrSundayGirl58 - Tell me, which times, besides The Killing Joke (and even then, he came back almost immediately!).

@BatmanHeisenberg - idk if Nolan's trilogy is the best example of comic accuracy. He took a lot of liberties.

@BatmanHeisenberg - comic book accuracy isn't this huge important thing as people seem to think it is after Deadpool. Deadpool's main component of the success wasn't the accuracy it was the entertainment/humor. Which is why Deadpool is popular in the comics. The most popular versions of characters weren't the most comic accurate things. Look at Nolan's batman. It's about the entertainment of those movies

@BatmanHeisenberg - it's not that they should or shouldn't have, its that they could have and it wouldn't be some unprecedented thing to the comics

@BatmanHeisenberg -they kinda [frick]ed over batman as far as his abilities go in Nolan's movies

@Beetleborg - Not perfect in any way, but they kept close to the Batman character. The world was different, his abilities were different, but he was still BATMAN.
