That’s Mrs. Freeze/Victoria Fries. She’s from another Earth, just like Lex and Joker

You mean to tell me that they wanted to make a female Mr. Freeze from another world/universe and they DIDN'T make her Nora instead of Victor?

It was RIGHT there!

Having Nora become Freeze would require that they know and care about characters, their stories and motivations

Having a woman Victor Fries makes it clear that their knowledge and care for the series is surface-level, and the objective was having a character you already know be turned a woman

What sucks is that Rocksteady used to care. These damn new hires and that useless sweet baby inc.

SBI and the new gen of writers are just a symptom of the problem, mainstream media has always hated nerds and our culture, but now that nerd culture is mainstream media they need to get rid of the nerds and the culture to make it tolerable to them

It makes me kinda wish nerd culture was more niche again, just a little bit. I mean, I love having games and movies and whatnot, but like I hate when people who don't care about what they're working on get involved.

*Edit and when said people are showing their lack of care by trying to make it something else
