Spoilers Supergirl - Season 2

So, you're saying a strong man cannot be intelligent and/or provide emotional support? Or, only a nerdy/goofy type is intelligent and capable of emotional support? Couple of stereotypes.

Nice try. You pulled the "goofy/nerdy guys can't be strong" card first.

But hey, you're only here to rile and bitch anyway, so hey-ho.
 
I only watched the first couple episodes, did it get better, or is that the quality of the whole show?

Because wow.
 
I don't think we need a love triangle for Alex and Maggie just yet.

But will make an exception for Batwoman. :)
Would Kate Kane be allowed on Supergirl, or would her connection to the guy in the mask from the other city make her off limits? What if there was no reference to her costumed identity and she was just Kate?
 
^^
There are no formal rules on what they can and can't use.
Those decisions are made on a case by case basis, at least that's what Marc Guggenheim said when Deadshot appeared earlier this season.
 
Gotham bought everything Batty.

I know that they paid enough folding to use whatever they want, without ever having to say "please" or checking in, but I don't know if they temporarily have exclusive rights to all the Bat Stuff, that no one else on (live Action) TV can use the Bat Universe.

The problem with a crossover is that Gotham is set somewhere in the past or a weird alt universe 2016 where they do not have modern conveniences.
 
^^
I don't think it's exclusive, since
Talia al Ghul
will be on this season of Arrow.

And KGBeast is already there almost every week, though he's not very beastly... more like cuddly with Oliver :D
 
It's what I heard a (Gotham) producer say in an interview recently.

(Young) "who you're talking about in brackets" was on Legends last year, so she's grandfathered in.
 
Supergirl's producers have no desire at the current time to actually show/introduce any Batman-related characters even though they've confirmed that one or more of said characters does/do exist on Earth-38.

Whether or not that's because Gotham has exclusive rights to said character(s) or because there's not a narrative reason to actually introduce said character(s) remains unknown, but, personally, I'd gravitate towards the latter being the case rather than the former, particularly now that we know that, beyond any doubt, that the kind of sweeping character usage embargos people have assumed exist don't in fact actually exist.
 
I think they probably don't want to use up too many characters too fast. They need to save some things for later seasons. So maybe we'll get a Bat-character or two eventually (I'm hoping for Barbara Gordon).

No one made you assume a strong man could not be intelligent and/or provide emotional supportive, or flat out tie those attributes to a nerdy man--

Besides, it's not like the guy is gonna be stronger than her physically, so why not go for brains or emotional support?

--you stereotyped the idea of a strong man as being incapable of that.
 
I might be misremembering but the way I understood it, the Gotham people bought the rights to all the Batman stuff, so they can use whatever they want without needing to negotiate piecemeal if say for example they want a teenage Harvey Dent to show up somewhere down the line.

I didn't get the impression that they were exclusive rights, which would prevent anyone else like one of the CW shows from using them. So in theory if they wanted to use Renee Montoya, Dick Greyson or Barbara Gordon (Oracle was indeed name dropped already) then they'd have to negotiate for those specific rights.
 
Yes, Gotham has the rights to anything and everything associated with Batman; however, that doesn't mean that they have EXCLUSIVE rights, and the fact that Arrow has been able to use certain Batman-related characters such as the al Ghuls, Deadshot, the New 52 Dollmaker, Firefly, etc. even after Gotham was given an exclusion-free rights license argues against the notion that their license is in fact exclusive.
 
I checked to see if there had been any characters who'd appeared in both Gotham and the Arrowverse. It seems there have been at least two cases where the two have used different individuals in the same villain role, namely Dollmaker (Barton Mathis in Arrow, Dr. Francis Dulmacher in Gotham) and Firefly (Garfield Lynns in Arrow, Bridgit Pike in Gotham).

Also, we know from The Flash's future newspaper that there's a Wayne Tech on Earth-1, and Earth-2 Barry and Iris have a "Bruce" on their speed dial.

Gotham HAS used a young adult Harvey Dent.
 
Harvey is 30, but maybe Twoface is 16?

Awful Batman comic I read last week says that Bruce was so ####ed up after his parents death that Alfred sent him to a mental health camp, which is where he met Harvey and they have been best friends ever since.

The New 52 can eat a bag of bums.

Both of them are B or C-list characters though.
 
Nothing wrong when a Blister or a Clister takes the wheel.

I almost came from this episode of Batman (1966) when Gordon and O'Hara had to actually do their damn jobs, because Batman was on Holiday.
