"Batgirl was cancelled as a tax write-off because Discovery didn't think they'd recoup the money on release" IT'S A BATMAN-AFFILIATED MOVIE WITH MICHAEL KEATON AND BRENDAN FRASER IN IT, WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU THINK IT WON'T SELL???
I feel like I'm reading that one Ike Perlmutter interview from like...2013 where he said comic book movies starring women don't sell so there's no point in making them. I thought we left this shit behind years ago.

Question: Hi, Brendan! My question is about the Roy and Jamie scene. I know change isn’t linear, but that felt like such a major regression. Especially Jamie mentioning the video — he had such a heartfelt apology and hug with Keeley about it a few episodes prior, then here he was using it as ammo against Roy. It kinda felt like it undermined that moment with Keeley to me.
Could you maybe explain the process behind writing that scene?
Answer: For one: men are dumb. Also Roy and Jamie’s relationship was going to well, and had never really had a clear-the-Keeley conversation. Once it started, yeah, they regressed to where they were before. Another thing is: we were playing with the “love triangle” trope there, the time-honored television chestnut of “who will she choose!?!”. Answer: she doesn’t have to choose anyone. She is Keeley fucking Jones.

ted, after finding out his drug addict friend is freely doing drugs and traveling with said drugs across country lines and is using the team’s bus driver as his drug dealer: this is all okay :)
