The amount of vitriol already coming out for Suicide Squad winning the Oscar for Makeup and Hair is pretty fucking hilarious. Even as unrepentant DCEU fanboy trash, I’ll be the first to admit that Squad is my least favorite of the series so far, but it’s not like it won Best Picture. It got an award for Makeup and Hair.

“But all they did was scribble on Jared Leto’s forehead!” the narrative is already forming, as they willfully ignore the fact that one of the supporting characters was an intricately-detailed reptile man made with completely practical makeup effects.

From here on out, all the people who go “but we’re just upset because we caaare so much about the characters and want the movies to get better!” while still refusing to give even the slightest bit of recognition to any of the craftsmen and artists involved in any part of the process, because DC is just inherently bad and we can’t credit them for anything ever, can all eat shit.

Also it follows the same tired rhetoric ppl have been following since day one of the constant undermining of the poc of Suicide Squad (Chato and Croc but mainly Croc had some amazing and intricate makeup) while using one white person to focus on and invalidate the minorities that outshone and outnumbers this white guy that ppl refuse to stop talking about because gosh, anything, ANYTHING but acknowledging the poc, especially the poc of the DCEU. The horror.

Baby-Doll
Batman: The Animated Series

This is one criminally underrated Batman villain.

SERIOUSLY THOUGH SHE WAS MY FAVORITE BATMAN VILLAIN

Her physical condition didn’t allow her to age

No one took her seriously as an actress

And even when she was trying to get into a happy romantic relationship (albeit with another villain) he still couldn’t take her seriously as a consenting, sexually active and romantically interested adult

That’s a lot of blows to someone’s psyche

and Babydoll is both a sympathetic villain and a formidable one

I remember this episode fucked me up a a kid.

And man, do I wish we could see this Batman again: the Batman that consoles his villains, because the majority (if not all) of them are mentally ill people. And Batman knows this and wants them healthy again, not punished and GOD definitely not dead.

Baby Doll is so underrated as a Batman villain

but her episode was perfect

Batman: The Animated Series

The story of one fucked up, traumatized little boy, doing his best to help other fucked up traumatized people.

The Batman that cares about the inmates is my favorite. He doesn’t put up with their shit, but he does try to reach out here and there and he’s as human as he can be to them.

When Harley was re-institutionalized, he got her that dress she wanted.

In the comics based on B:tAS, there was a time during Christmas that there was snow and it was Mr. Freeze’s fault, and he was making it snow because Christmas was his anniversary with Nora and she LOVED it when it snowed on Christmas, so Batman let him finish mourning before calmly taking him back to Arkham.

He never, ever gives up on Harvey possibly recovering.

Sure, Batman is going to throw punches and do what it takes to take these guys down when they’re hurting or threatening people. And he’s not going be a complete bleeding heart; he has to protect the innocent. He’s going to take them down and take them back to Arkham, but it doesn’t mean he’s incapable of being a bit human to the ones who deserve it.

Batman needs become human again
