No, these ladies aren’t sisters, but they’ve got a lot in common (besides devilish grins). You almost feel bad for Harley Quinn sometimes. She lost her way while she was enthralled with the Joker in that definitely unhealthy love-hate relationship. Along the way she was resourceful, picking up mind games, fighting ability, and a certain unpredictable nature.
Meanwhile, Cruella Deville rose up from humble beginnings to overtake a fashion empire. Not a traditional fighter, Cruella showed that she is scrappy and isn’t afraid to take a violent turn when she feels it’s needed.
Cruella has a cane while Harley has her bat (and usually some guns, a glitter bomb, smoke bombs, and maybe a few knives). Harley wins the weapons contest, but if Cruella can throw Harley off her game, then the weapons may not matter much. Cruella would have to make it a hand-to-hand fight.
Harley is unpredictable, but Cruella is observant. She’s good at reading people. She also makes long-term plans. Harley isn’t stupid, but Cruella may outshine Harley when it comes to smarts.
Still, Harley is too agile, rough, and tough to lose. She’ll beat up Cruella, even this younger version of her.
Winner: Harley Quinn

Battle For The Cowl is so funny as an arc because everyone is fighting to not be like Batman so hard while dressed as Batman and pretending to be Batman
Even though they’re not blood related somehow every Wayne kid copes with loss through absolute delusion

I’m pretty sure this happened once.

If I had nickel for every time someone in a batsuit stabbed Tim in the chest, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.

I have no idea what is happening here but I feel like there are no good answers.
Extremely aggressive tactical crotch attack?
Biting her lip because of how much it hurts that her chest-plate apparently melted onto her breasts?
Letting out the world's most powerful fart?
Okay, maybe there are actually some great answers.

Here's a fun one! Mr. 007 himself, James Bond, against Indiana Jones. Now, Indy is no secret agent. He's a professor and archeologist, but he has a combat background as an Officer in the U.S. Army. He's almost a professional adventurer who is a jack of all trades, really. He can shoot a gun, crack a whip, run quickly, outrun enemies in car chases, and his punch packs a wallop! This professor is no slouch when it comes to getting himself out of sticky situations. Still, James Bond is a secret agent. An actual agent who has also dealt with his fair share of compromising situations. I'd say he's at least as trained as Indiana Jones when it comes to skill. Both are quick to improvise, they're smart, and they have no problems getting into a fight if needed. I think the difference here is resources and tricks. Indiana Jones may look more unassuming, which could catch Bond off-guard, but when Bond gets a feel for the fight, he'll use his vast variety of weapons and tricks to win the fight. Winner: James Bond (sorry Indy ... it was a close call)

So, nerds with shit in their pants are crying about this... and while the main source of their paint seems to be Natalie Portman's gunshow... it's also great to see that her Thor costume is essentially the same as Chris's... just with a little less detailing on the pectorials.
It really conveys strength and power and fortitude, without going out of the way to sexualize her (which isn't to say I haven't already seen many people attest that they have never seen Natalie look sexier). The armor was never super practical, but combined with the build it definitely creates the feeling of larger than life power.
What makes people claiming "this can't be possible, it must be CGI!" extra wholesome and hilarious is that Natlie already talked about getting swole for the role, and how she actually enjoyed it because she'd never gotten to do that kind of heavy lifting workout before, back in mid last month and had been observed being beefy in public.

In summary... bring on Love and Thunder!

Jason Todd & Lying: An Analysis
Jason doesn't seem inclined to or particularly skilled at lying.
In BFTC Dick tells him "you're a terrible liar, Jason." Granted in that context Dick didn't want to believe what he was saying, so we can take that with a little grain of salt.
When Isabel remarks their past kiss wasn't very good, Jason says that's because last time he kissed her he was lying.
In Nightwing Annual 2021 Jason claims he didn't do something and Dick says he believes him "because you'd own up to it."
The lies Jason does in Task Force Z #8 are all meant to be very short term.
This could be because of his bad experiences of people lying to him. Bruce is notorious for being dishonest and secretive. Sheila's lies literally lead to Jason's death. One of the last things his birth mother said to him was "I lied."
