Miller and Lee's version, though, well… I think you said it all.Count Drunkulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130778855882160092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6668210084848809730.post-86743461550614175612013-06-23T16:40:26.765-04:002013-06-23T16:40:26.765-04:00Yes, it IS awful..so many things grate and irrita...Yes, it IS awful..so many things grate and irritate, mostly Black Canary's IRISH accent [yes, all 'begorra, begorra'] offensive stereotyping, and Dinah seemed destined here to be another Catwoman-type bad-girl crush on Batman.<br />I assume the writer was trying to bring back an aspect of the claasic BC from the Golden Age - the thief, the mask, the female 'Raffles' etc -but frankly the series was a hopeless mess. It seemed set in its own continuity so dosent count as canon.<br />But its this series treatment of my beloved Wonder Woman that really irks me like no other...writing her as a man-hating feminist and calling a homeless man a 'sperm donor' Disgraceful.karlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07814365568280298681noreply@blogger.com
