      the harley quinn show is a parade of bullshit and writers who have no idea about the characters, or lore of the DC universe. its like those morons who make "abridged" series' on youtube and use to bash something they hate because they thinks thats what abridging is, not realizing the series' that succeeded were written by people with a genuine love of the source material.

    In the 1966 BATMAN tv show there's a scene in one episode where Commissioner Gordon is acting as a go-between for Bruce Wayne and Batman--and he's totally blind to the fact that they are one and the same. He even says to O'Hara "Wonder if they're related?"

    He has his glasses on, she insists on shooting him to test if he’s Superman. Despite his pleas, Lois pulls the trigger and fires the pistol at him.
    BANG!
    Furious, Superman crosses his arms and removes his glasses.
    “You realize, of course, if you had been wrong, Clark Kent would've been killed.”
    Lois smiles: “With a blank? Gotcha!”

    You actually missed the point to Kingpin’s unmasking of Daredevil, yes he now knows who Daredevil is but despite that Wilson Fisk got his ass kicked and in the end the unmasking is a failure rather that a win for him as he is literally laughing because he can’t say anything about it because he would be admitting to losing a fight to a blind man which in prison will get him killed. Fisk is a man that values only his power and place. His control and now despite having the information he wanted he can’t use it and has lost everything. The point is to be careful what you wish for you might just get it.

    I don’t know if Tom Hardy, Christopher Nolan, or maybe a combination of them both, made these choices, but Bane’s mask and voice were one of the dumbest decisions they ever made. The mask isn’t the least bit threatening/terrifying/scary/whatever, and the voice is far too ridiculous to be intimidating on any level. They totally took me out of the movie, and made it impossible for me to take anything Bane said or did seriously.

    Another 1 would be RoboCop where not even RoboCop knew who he was.
    There are other but time is sort. Later.....
