Ew...I finally got a look at some of Sawyer's tweets....Jesus, the guy isn't simply a racist or misogynist, he's a raving psycho! This is not a guy I want to be next to in a dark alley. Dude, try the decaf.

Is there a statute of limitations on how far back one’s statements are held against you? Instead of just firing people, perhaps they should be given a chance to reform by showing them that their way of thinking is wrong, and see if they change. Otherwise they’re just the next “victim of liberal bias” that will be given a platform on Fox News. Like that women in Central Park who was fired. Why not have her go to diversity training and see if she can be enlightened.
I’m not defending their words or actions which were clearly wrong, but how can we change minds if we just cast them out instead of showing them a better way. Be better than them.
Also, instead of a new Batwoman, I wish they had made a different lead character, like perhaps Batwing or Batman Beyond.

Chyler Leigh or however you spell that...is lesbian! Or bi, it wasn't clear. Or perhaps the Hollywood trysexual. But whatever is most woke, she is. She just wanted you to know that. And now you do!

While in this case the details are somewhat...icky when you get past the headline bait of the story, yeah, we maybe have gone too far with the cancel culture. And yeah, a good point about maybe reforming. One thing I haven't heard for example is any indication that Sawyer holds these views, or indeed the context of some of the things he tweeted. Perhaps some of it was his idea at the time of a joke?

Okay, there isn't a DC movie thread, so I'm putting this here. Seems Michael Keaton is in talks to play...Batman again, this time in whatever the Flash movie winds up being called, assuming it ever gets off the blocks, and assuming they come to terms. Bit of a longshot if you ask me, but...it IS intriguing, having him play a DKR age Batman.

I read that it will be a Flashpoint story, and Keaton may play Bruce Wayne in a universe where his father Thomas was the first Batman.

And wasn't Keaton a possible for the CW's Crisis event? Maybe this film is why that was nixed.

And wasn't Keaton a possible for the CW's Crisis event? Maybe this film is why that was nixed. My thoughts exactly. And I admit I'm kind of looking forward to seeing him play a DKR age Batman. I always liked him.

So...WTF is up with Ray Fisher AKA Cybore? Why is he suddenly dissing Joss Whedon and Geoff Johns for that matter? Is his career already in fact over, and this is his parting bitter shot at the guy he believes ruined his shot? Cause...unless he can back those words up, and it sounds like he can't, I don't see this helping whatever career he thinks he has. Or...is there something on Whedon? I don't recall anyone saying his on-set behavior was bad... www.yahoo.com/entertainment/justice-league-actor-ray-fisher-164902322.html

I mourn the loss of Stargirl as a good show...
