What I was saying was there were no characters where this was the only thing the character did (with the exception of perhaps silent movie shorts where they would have been tied to the tracks by a mustache twirling villain who says "curses, foiled again" on a inter-cut dialogue screen when she gets rescued) However if the thing you are complaining about is literally from the 19th century when people were just throwing random shit together then you don't really have an argument.

We Bare Bears, She-Ra reboot, DC Superhero Girls, and both Nick TMNT shows all have female characters bound and gagged, and they play those characters up to be girlbosses on those shows. OK KO, Steven Universe, Tangled, Star VS and Owl House also got scenes of women getting tied up, plus all the superhero cartoons that have that as a basic trope. Stop moaning like you know shit.

People will rag on this but it's right. I see women politely ignore girl boss shit all the time while absolutely loving stories where the girl is rescued by a handsome guy

The re4 remake is the best recent example of it, you basically play as a hardcore special agent (leon) sent in to an isolated village to rescue the president's daughter (ashley). She starts off weak and terrified and the game is full of moments where leon catches her, or comforts her when she cries, subtle hints of flirting and that she wants to stay with him after the mission, etc. But as the game progresses she plucks up her courge and becomes more and more active in helping despite how scared she is, including a segment where you play as her to get leon out of a trap. Every girl I've seen play this game loves it and especially ashley.

[User] Why do feminists hate damsel in distress trope so much? Do they believe that men shouldn't help women in trouble?

[Assistant]
i know this is probably bait, but heres the reason: some people think in obsolutes. they see a woman, and go "thats me, that represents ME" or "that represents ALL WOMEN EVERYWHERE"
theyre unable to view a character as a character, a means for telling a story, a person who might exist
a damsel in distress isnt an impossible sceneri, and historically there were many of them, even today we see women whos personality is less than heroic and who couldnt fight themselves out of a paper bag and need rescuing. we see men like that, too. but a person who has to think in generalization, who cant into nuance, will view every story as a lesson for them and them alone. everything in their world is a message to them, about themselves, and so when presented with something they dont like, theyll ask, no one in particular "what did (you) mean when you said THAT about ME?"

At least Tim had something unique at this time, the premise of a Robin that is Batman intellect equal was unique and fit his premise of trying new things instead of being Robin due to his massive potential.

I support Red Devil coming back. DC wants to force Jason to be closer to the other B-listers and A-listers, but the point of the character is that he never got a chance to make many friends, and the friends he did make were killed off as cannon fodder. It's more natural to have Jason team up with C-listers who could be more popular if they got a little push.

Similarly the New Teen Titans are frankly C-listers who got major popularity boosts by being on a team with Dick Grayson.

Outlaws is a stupid nonsensical name, it deserves to be binned for that reason alone. I'm assuming Lobdell made up Outlaws so he could get credit and royalties for being the creator of Red Hood's team.

>>136755388
Martinbrough is continuing his own 2-issue arc set in Gotham, if that helps. That was Red Hood #51 and Red Hood #52, continuing the numbering of RHATO, but otherwise a soft reboot separate from Lobdell's RHATO.

Red Hood belongs in Gotham. He has history there, he belongs there, whether he's a villain or an ally.

>>136753665
It might be awkward for Williamson to bring back Red Devil, because Williamson ships Red Hood and Ravager, but Ravager and Red Devil had a brief romance.

I support Red Devil coming back. DC wants to force Jason to be closer to the other B-listers and A-listers, but the point of the character is that he never got a chance to make many friends, and the friends he did make were killed off as cannon fodder. It's more natural to have Jason team up with C-listers who could be more popular if they got a little push.

Similarly the New Teen Titans are frankly C-listers who got major popularity boosts by being on a team with Dick Grayson.

S'up DC editorial. Fishing for ideas again, hm? No worries, I got you covered.

>Tim
Tim decides Bernard isn't the right fit; that maybe being "bisexual" wasn't what he was, but instead he was just questioning, like he has been his whole life. Questioning if being Robin was the right fit, questioning if he could have saved his parents, questioning if he even needs the supes life anymore.

So, give him a mini where he confronts Bernard with honesty and openness, have him tell the Batfamily that he is done, and send him off to college and to work at WayneTech.

>Jason
Honestly, Outlaws works because it's just DC's version of X-Force, so I'd probably just run that title again but with an expanded roster. Artemis, Bizarro, and Roy were all great on the team, so build off that. But you also start to encroach on Suicide Squad territory, which can be hit or miss.

I think for Tim it would be a good avenue if he doesn't have a role to fill as a superhero. Although him dismissing his bisexuality would cause an uproar amongst those that did like that development. But at the very least him moving on from Bernard would be better off in my opinion, seeing as how they don't really show that much of Bernard anyway besides from the surface level glimpse we see of his relationship with Tim. Though it would be interesting seeing him work at WayneTech, taking on a similar role that Barbara does as Oracle instead Tim could be apart of R&D for the Batfamily's arsenal of tech.

I think, if written right, Tim going from "bi" back to straight could mirror a lot of real world scenarios. And if given the right type of sincerity and honesty, I think people would commend DC for showing "real world relationships". But regardless, I've always thought Tim should have given up the cowl, gone to college, worked at WayneTech under Lucious, and eventually find himself in a position where he gets to occasionally help the Batfamily with R&D and also help cover up the fact that Bruce=Batman. And then you can have him and Tam back together.

[Assistant]
>>136767538
I think you could still achieve that idea without touching on his sexuality. You can feel free to disagree, but with him being bisexual that still gives him the "chance" so to speak of getting in a relationship with a female character. Bisexuality is just an attraction to both sexes either way and there have been a couple of characters that are as such. Having been shown in relationships with women and men. Plus from a PR standpoint, DC would be accused of bi-erasure. And while yes they could ignore the backlash, it is still more of a hassle to deal with in the long run, in my eyes.

[User] But to continue from that, another idea which has been said multiple times amongst Tim Drake fans is for him to take a new identity as a superhero. Moving on from Robin, a codename that could suit him in my eyes would be Cardinal. It's yet to be used from what I know and it sticks with the overall Avian theme. It also doesn't seem as lazy as Red Robin or Drake. In terms of distinguishing himself visually, I think he had an interesting thing going with his Red Robin uniform. Sure people rag on it, especially the cowl. But I think there was something there, maybe make the cowl more birdlike in appearance? Something reminiscent to a beaked shaped mask, perhaps?

Pretty sure that other anon was talking about Rose Wilson's development being dumped for the sake of shipping her with Jason. Bit of an exaggeration when she has led one mini, and has only gotten to show up as a major character in relatively few titles. I've been waiting for the character to get a boost.

I've seen maybe two vocal fans complaining about Rose's character being damaged by Jason. I really haven't seen any threat to Rose's character by Jason. Yet.

Pairing up a character with a Batman guy is a high-risk high-reward deal. Best case scenario is that Rose gets a massive boost, like her dad did by being branded as Batman's rival, and Artemis did with Red Hood before she reverted back to Wonder Woman editorial. Worst case scenario is that Rose gets turned into a cardboard cutout waifu.

I do think Rose would work well in Gotham for a decent-sized run. She suits the setting. She has established potential chemistry as Cass' friendly rival, would get along with Steph like a house on fire. She has a fun dynamic with Damian too. And frankly yes the ingredients for a broad-appeal romance with Jason are there, as long as DC can get its shit together and get competent editors in place.

Nightwing and the Titans help set her straight and she turns Ravager into a superhero. After leaving the Titans she starts doing no-kill mercenary work as a hero for hire.

Every story using her as Jason's girl has her enabling his murderous bullshit, when her story arc with her dad has been all about being a hero while escaping and avoiding his murderous bullshit.

When adapting or rebooting, you NEED to clean house and trim the fat to make it more palatable to new and casual audiences.

Nightwing and the Titans help set her straight and she turns Ravager into a superhero. After leaving the Titans she starts doing no-kill mercenary work as a hero for hire.

Every story using her as Jason's girl has her enabling his murderous bullshit, when her story arc with her dad has been all about being a hero while escaping and avoiding his murderous bullshit. They use her as a bad girl stereotype trophy girl, when that's never been her thing. Priest was the only modern writer to get it.

None of that matters. Earth 2 has already been re-imagined in the past. Helena being a Robin is a Robinson concept. The point is to make Jason not only the first Robin, but to make him Dick's E2 counterpart. In turn, Helena would be Damian's E2 counterpart. Dick is the Robin that succeeded and went on to become a great hero in his own right. Jason is the one who failed and died for his troubles. They're mirrors. It's basically a "have your cake and eat it too" situation but smarter. Trimming the fat of the Batfamily to its bare essentials, and repurposing that fat to be put to greater use elsewhere. E1 Batfamily is filled with the more popular and iconic characters that the average person is more likely to know, while the E2 Batfamily are a homage to the OG Silver Age one with Batwoman and Bat-Girl. Those roles respectively filled by Kate and Steph. Steph would function as Babs' E2 counterpart in this case.

It's not enough to be the -est in some skill attribute, not when there are dozens of other popular peak humans, and hundreds of metahuman and nonhumans who are far above a boring human. Steph and Jason are underdogs, sympathetic, with good senses of humor. Dick is handsome, friendly, popular. Damian is a likable rascal with a sweet side. Babs unequivocally dominates at tech. All of them have some big trauma to milk. And all of them are intelligent, they generally have the same well-rounded set of standard Bat skills and the same gadgets. Smartest isn't enough, the character needs to be likable and interesting. The audience needs to root for the guy. He can't have everything handed to him on a silver platter.

Wans't Tim a genius at engineering and biology? His cloning projects are more impressive than a surgery or fixing a car, that's straight up supergenius feats.
>Smartest isn't enough
True, however him being a scientist would give him more character, a passion for science and his own job.

At the ancient age of 17, Tim managed to get several failed cloning attempts under his belt, yes.

Performing complex surgery and personally reengineering the Batmobile at age 10 is a way bigger feat. Cope. The era of Damichad is now.

Not really actually, Damian was beating his ass and was about to kill him, even with Terry getting extra help from the suit.
The only reason Damian didn't kill him is because Bruce arrived and told him to stop.

At least Tim had something unique at this time, the premise of a Robin that is Batman intellect equal was unique and fit his premise of trying new things instead of being Robin due to his massive potential.

Without it he's just Dick Grayson but without being Batman first sidekick or the titans founder.

[Assistant]
>>136753368
Then you missed the point of the character. The Robin who was of equal intellect to Batman was Dick. While retconned over the past 20 years Dick's Robin was brilliant and perfect in a way that only the big name golden/silver age heroes can get away with. He's called the Boy Wonder for a reason.
Tim was unique because he had to really work at being Robin, he had to get creative.
Plus being the only Robin with a family.

The powers were never explicitly taken away. He simply never used them after that arc. He should still have tentacle powers.

I bet Williamson is aware of the lore, canon expert that he is.
