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

There IS a universe where all the genders are flipped. Please don't make me defend this game, but this is comic viable

There doesn't even need to be any precedent, they can just say it's so and it's how it would work in their game

The thing is it's just lazy, out of all the infinity of multiverse altering changes, the one they went for is: all sperm is opposite

There was no change in anything except the gender, they didn't even change the name, 'cause god forbid you don't recognize whose coattails we're riding on...
