#barbra sees that and misinterprets

[dctviswhyimalive]

Danny totally knows exactly how Damian is feeling, because it's what he felt around every ghost that came out the portal. You think he fought those ghosts because he was that responsible and noble? Psh no, he was 14, it was mostly the ghost aggression. It's a baby ghost defense mechanism. He has since grown out of that, but Damian clearly hasn't and that's so cute, he finally knows what Sam means when she talks about cute aggression. Damian even seems to be holding back and channeling it into surveillance, isn't that so nice of him, to not attack on sight? Swoon ("Yes Jazz, I know that's rock bottom standards but the last girl I dated was literally my enemy so")

"That's like- that's such a human thing to do, but he's so proper, it's like idk ghost courting rituals or something to hold that back - no Tucker, I don't mean literally no one has taught me secret ghost courting, I promise I would've told you if something like that had happened. Anyway, man, it's kinda cute not gonna lie..."

Meanwhile Damian is relishing his victory in proving it's not a crush and Hood is freaking out because who the hell is that guy

Barbara: You are not going to believe what I found in Damian's laptop. It's actually a little worrying.

Bruce: Should I be worried as a father or as Batman?

Barbara: *So and so hand motion*

Bruce: *deep breath* What did you find?

Barbara: He has files upon files about a boy named Daniel Fenton. Apparently, he's been following him around for months documenting everything there is about him because, and I quote, "Fenton generates a airborne illness targeting humans. Symptoms include: Quicken heart, sweaty palms, flushing in the face, upset stomach and difficulty in speech."

Bruce: So he has a crush and instead of handling it in a healthy normal way, Damian just assumed that this Fenton boy is patient zero? And now he's stalking the boy to prove it.

Barbara: That's a good summary, yeah. Oh and he's doing it as Damian Wayne. I'm also like ninety-nine percent sure Fenton is aware of Damian following him around.

Bruce defeated: Of course he is. How bad is Fenton handling it?

Barbara: Suprisingly, I think he finds it funny. I hacked Fenton's messages to his friends back in Amity Park and he has described Damian as "A cute human trying to be a proper ghost in courting."

Bruce: What does that mean?

Barbara shrugging: Local teenage slang most likely. Other teenagers in Amity Park talk like that a lot from what I could dig up. In any case, you need to have a chat with Damian.

Bruce sighing: I'll dig up the old puberty books and speak with Damian tonight. There goes my bubble bath time....

Barbara patting his shoulder: May you one day soak for hours without your kids doing something stupid.

I think one of the biggest misinterpreted concepts is Pit Madness and how that affected Jason when he first came back. I usually see it in fanfiction or posts when discussing Jason's actions in UTRH. It is usually used to excuse his actions or give an explanation.

Which is fine but I want to give a clear explanation of what Pit Madness is, the best I can.

Firstly, Pit Madness is real as shown in these panels from Batman #244 and in Birds of Prey #35.

However, as said by Barbra, it is temporary. Pit Madness gives the user temporary madness for around an hour to a day(Of if you're the Joker, temporary sanity). The only time, I've read, where using the pit caused long-lasting effects is in Batman: Death and the Maidens.

But it's mostly because Talia was killed and resurrected multiple times in very short period plus constant manipulation by Nyssa.

Secondly, unlike Talia, Jason was already resurrected before he was thrown in the pit. The only reason he was thrown in the pit was because he was catatonic. Basically, Jason was just restored to full health.

Now, the Lazarus Pit seems to lower inhibitions which can make the user more recipient to manipulation or for emotions to run wild. However, Jason showed no hints of this.

Thirdly, even if he did contract Pit Madness. It would have been temporary, as shown by the panel below, Jason spent at minimum a few weeks planning and traveling to ready himself.

In other words, Jason though and made a decision that wasn't caused by Pit Madness. Was the decision formed fully by a level-headed, rational Jason? Probably not. However, Jason wasn't in a crazed, hyper-emotional state when he came back.

An AU where the batkids are closer in age and all go to gotham academy... chaos ensues, because these boys are chaotic good, and the girls are true good

The principal has Bruce Wayne’s personal cell on speed dial.

Not that it does much good, he lives in a house with six high schoolers and one very temperamental middle schooler. Bruce Wayne lost his ability to give a fuck about anything years ago.

Barbra isn’t even his kid, why is he getting calls about her too?’

“I’m sorry to hear that a seventeen year old girl managed to hack your entire system, sir. I still don’t understand what that has to do with me. Perhaps you should try to contact Commissioner Gordon.”

The others on the other hand... those he can’t pawn off on anybody else.

“It’s been twelve years, at this point there should be some kind of note in his file that Dick is going to fidget and sit in strange positions, it’s just something he does... No, I am no considering any medications for him. Or any of my children for that matter.”

“I’m sorry, Jason did what now? No, no I’ll definitely speak with him about this. Thank you Principal Weatherby.” - “Jason... Jason I don’t care if your teacher is ‘willfully misinterpreting’ the book, you can’t call him incompliant and storm out of class.... because you’re in high school and that’s not how that works. Just.... just come home, please.”

“So let me make sure I understand you correctly... this boy repeatedly snapped my daughter’s bra strap - to the point said strap came undone. At which point she punched him in the face. And you want to take disciplinary action against her? Very well, go right ahead. I'm going to need a copy of the referral though, because we’ll be filing sexual assault charges. Thank you. Stephanie, let’s go,”

“Principal Weatherby... I know people think I’m just some rich trust fund baby or what have you, with nothing better to do with my day, but I assure you, I am quite a busy man. So can you please explain to me why my meetings get continually interrupted with complains about Tim sleeping in class? Is he not still one of the top performers? Then I don’t see the issue. If he’s not actively causing a problem, and his grades aren’t being effected do not call me about this again. If you’ll excuse me, I have a business to run.”

“I’m sorry Principal Weatherby, what exactly would you like me to do in this situation? I can’t physically force Cassandra to speak. Also, I don’t have the paperwork in front of me... but I’m pretty sure she’s allowed to sign her presentation, and that not providing her an interpreter is actually illegal.... No, that won’t be necessary. Thank you for taking care of the matter, please let me know if there is anything else I can do to help resolve the satiation.”

“One moment, let me clarify something -  we’re talking about Duke Thomas? Punching another student in the cafeteria? Is there more context to this situation? . . . Ah, and was the boy harassing Cassandra the same one that Stephanie had the issue with last month? I see. Well, Principal Weatherby, I’ll speak with Duke this evening, but you may want to look into this other student before the school really does get hit with some kind of lawsuit over his behavior.” - “That dumb bastard doesn’t know how lucky he was Duke hit him before Cassie could.”

“Damian said what exactly?. . .  Yes, well I can see where that would be highly inappropriate. . . . I’m terribly sorry, Principal Weatherby, but I’m about to step into a very important meeting. But this is his mother’s number, I’m sure she’ll be more than happy to help you resolve the situation.” - “Best of luck. You’re gonna need it.”

So I started watching Gotham because I saw that @ameba-from-space started watching it and I decided to give it a try.

This show. Is way better then I thought it would be! The acting is good, the writing is ok most of the time, the plots make sense, and the characterizations of almost all of the characters are beautiful! The only problem I have with it is the love triangle they have going on with Jim Lee and Barbra, but that’s mainly because I know that Jim and Barbra will get together in the end and have Barbra Gorden as a daughter so it feels weird to invest in Jim and Lee’s relationship because I know it will end, but then the end of season one happened and know I have no clue whats going on with Barbra, to me it seems like the Jason dude brainwashed her a little bit, but who’s to say.

Here are some of my thoughts so far

the speech Jim gave to Baby Bruce in episode one, some of the best writing I have ever witnessed. However wrote that, deserves a medal and a raise

Jim not being a redhead is throwing he a bit, but he still looks like a young Jim Gorden so I can live with it

Watching Baby Bruce and Alfred interact, oh my goodness you can see where adult Bruce gets his everything from! Like, Alfred was having a rough time adjusting to parenthood, and part of that is because he is an emotionally constipated adult that is more stubborn then a mule. Like, in this show, Alfred only becomes the emotionally competent grandpa that we know and love because either a) old age loosens the constipation or b) he had to raise Bruce Wayne and that boy needs to be told outright what someones emotions are towards him or else he will misinterpret them.

Nygma is very clearly on the spectrum and I feel bad for him because he is working in an environment that is not good for his mental health. The climate of the G.C.P.D. is constantly grating against Nygma and however he views the world until it got to the point where he accidentally killed someone and then had a mental break as a result. Not only that, but if he were to go get help as soon as he could he could probably heal from this, but he won’t because he is scared and the cracks in his mind keep getting bigger and soon it will be to late for him to heal.

Baby Bruce is also probably on the spectrum as well as having some form of OCD (fun fact, often times if someone has one mental illness/handicap they could also have others. Many cases of people with some type of OCD are also somewhere on the spectrum). That child has only one friend that is actually his age, all of the other people that he could consider his friends are adults, he has no idea how to interact with people his own age. It is also clear to see that he has always been crazy, and I don’t think this boy would survive losing another loved one.

When we first met Bullock, part of me did not think that I would like him. But a different, wiser part of me knew that eventually I would, because there is this type of character who always starts out as a not nice person who you don’t like but then as time goes on and we learn more about them while they might not be any nicer we still don’t hate them as much, and just about every time I find one of these characters they always end up as one of my favourites. I like to call it the Bakugo effect.

I finished season one last night, I am currently at episode six of season 2, and if Galavan so much as looks at my Baby funny I will break the walls of reality just to hurt him. Do not hurt my Baby!!!

Bringing interviews to life

Barbara Jill Walters (born September 25, 1929) is an American retired broadcast journalist, author, and television personality.[1][2] Known for her interviewing ability and popularity with viewers, Walters appeared as the host of numerous television programs, including Today, The View, 20/20, and the ABC Evening News. Walters was a working journalist from 1951 until 2015.

Walters began her career on The Today Show in the early 1960s as a writer and segment producer of women's interest stories. Her popularity with viewers resulted in Walters receiving more airtime, and in 1974, she became co-host of the program, the first woman to hold such a title on an American news program. In 1976, she continued to be a pioneer for women in broadcasting by becoming the first female co-anchor of a network evening news program, alongside Harry Reasoner on the ABC Evening News. From 1979 to 2004, Walters worked as a producer and co-host on the ABC newsmagazine 20/20. She also became known for an annual special aired on ABC, Barbara Walters' 10 Most Fascinating People

Walters created, produced, and co-hosted the ABC daytime talk show The View in 1997, on which she appeared until her retirement in 2014. Thereafter, she continued to host a number of special reports for 20/20 as well as documentary series for Investigation Discovery. Her final on-air appearance for ABC News was in 2015.

Walters was inducted into the Television Hall of Fame in 1989, and in 2007 received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In 2000, she received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.

Lucille Ball & Barbara Walters: An Interview of a Life Time 

The first interview was with Lucille Ball, the interview style was friendly. First Barbara started the interview with a very nice biography about her personal life and her working experience.

In the interview Barbra was clever in her selection of questions she used some deep personal questions. She used some smart questions; she used a friendly way of interviewing her guest.

Barbara Walters sits down with Lucy and Gary Morton. Barbara Walters asks the questions Lucy steered away from up until this point of her career on TV (post-I Love Lucy) Some say Lucy was uncomfortable with discussing her past life with her current husband, as she wanted to respect the present joys they had in their successful marriage, and giving it its own identity-It's definitely interesting to see Lucy a little stern with Barbara about her first marriage and tells the truth of how it was, and why it didn’t work. Barbara is wonderful and friendly but asks those good questions you have always wanted to know.

Barbara Walters Interview with Clint Eastwood 1982

The second interview was with Clint Eastwood, the interview style was friendly. First Barbara started the interview with a very nice biography about his personal life and his working experience.

Clint Eastwood did his best to throw Barbara Walters off of her interview game by flirting with her. It worked. She knew how to ask tough questions and get key information from her interview subjects. Walters sat down with Eastwood for 20/20 in 1982, discussing the rugged star's acting methods and romances at the height of his career and Walters was so charmed by the famously.

I think Clint was very comfortable in the interview while Barbra was uncomfortable for some emotional reasons.

Sandra Bullock interview in Barbara Walters Special 2010

The third interview was with Sandra Bullock, the interview style was friendly. First Barbara started the interview as usual with a very nice biography about her personal life and her working experience.

Barbara Walters falls into the classic trap of letting Sandra's credibility as an actress begin with Blind Side, and according to Walters, it seems that a credible actress must be a "serious artist", whereas Sandra's credibility as a comedienne was already firmly established long before Blind Side arrived, and she was already a credible actress, because a great comedienne is of course a great artist, and that's about as "serious" as it needs to get

Both of them were feeling comfortable, as the interview was friendly and full of laughs and jokes.

Ronald Reagan interviewed by Barbara Walters on 20/20

The fourth interview was with the American president Ronald Reagan who looked very quiet and peaceful showing his respect and welcome to the US audience, the interview style was very formal due to his position as a president but the environment was very friendly.

Barbara Walters hosts this warm personality study of President Ronald Reagan, which features Reagan working on and touring his California ranch, the type of questions were mostly friendly about his interests, his sanctuary and his personal life.

Reagan was very cheerful that he made Barbra feel comfortable.

Barbara Walters Interviews Johnny Carson in 1984 

The fifth interview was with Johnny Carson, the style of the interview was formal and friendly because Carson was very friendly.

He seems to put so much effort into each expression. She was an amazing interviewer. I mean, just look at what she got him to reveal here (and Carson was about as tight lipped about personal matters as they get). Barbara has a way of looking a guest in the eye and speaking with them that gives them the freedom to reveal and communicate intimacies, as opposed to how they might with your cookie-cutter "sensational" interviewer.

I think that Carson was not feeling comfortable in some parts of the interview.

Larry King (born Lawrence Harvey Zeiger; November 19, 1933 – January 23, 2021) was an American television and radio host, whose awards included two Peabodys, an Emmy and ten Cable ACE Awards. He hosted over 50,000 interviews.

 Interview: Larry King Interviews Donald Trump on Larry King Now, on October 4, 2013

The first interview was with Donald Trump, the interview style was formal. First King started the interview with a very brief introduction about him.

In the interview Larry was clever in his selection of questions he used some deep political questions. He was very smart in selecting the questions; he used a friendly way of interviewing his guest.

In the interview, Larry covered most of the US problems and how Trump is going to face them the most important part was when Trump was just trying to get through this whole time is his country is weak because they put their nose in other countries business they fund other countries they walk on them. The peace treaty that was signed years ago was probably misinterpreted by polotitions today.

Larry is wonderful and friendly but asks those good questions you have always wanted to know.

 Larry king interview Vladimir Putin

The second interview was with the Russian BM president Vladimir Putin, the interview style was Formal. First Larry started the interview with warm greetings and went directly into questions.

 Larry asked Putin several questions almost he covered most of the important worldwide issues from north Korea to Iran to the relations between America and Russia even he asked him about some internal Russian problems.

Larry was very smart and professional in choosing his questions also Putin was a very quiet person and smart in answering all the questions.

I think the interview was uncomfortable for both of them.

 Larry King / Natalie Portman on Late Night (1994) 

The third interview was with Natalie Portman, the interview style was very friendly. First Larry started the interview as usual with a warm welcome.


Natalie was such an intelligent young woman. She's already so aware of social dynamics at age 13. Notice how she laughs to make others feel comfortable and well received, and not just laughing because a joke is funny. Both of them were feeling comfortable, as the interview was friendly and full of laughs and jokes.

The interview was very comfortable for all of them that the audience can`t stop laughing at her.

 Monica Lewinsky on Larry King Live

The fourth interview was with Monica Lewinsky who looked very quiet and peaceful showing, the interview style was very friendly.

I really like how Larry handled this interview. He did not grill or berate her. He asked good questions and let her explain herself. Monica very obviously has a good mind. However, like many of us, she made foolish choices in her youth. She is not the only, not the first, and not the last to be charmed by a predator and overawed by the trappings of power. She is so brave and so beautiful even though she has been through hell at this point. Larry was very professional in this interview.

Monika was very comfortable in answering all these questions.

 Stan Lee Discusses his Career, Movie Cameos & Bonding with Marvel Actors

The fifth interview was with Stan Lee, the style of the interview was formal and friendly because Lee was very friendly.

Marvel icon, Stan Lee, sits down with Larry for a rare, in-depth interview at Lee’s Beverly Hills office to discuss everything from his big new ‘X-Men’ cameo to the new Chinese super hero he is creating.

I absolutely love how this interview takes place between two old timers who probably grew up in the same era. Stan doesn't even care about the money, he's just extremely glad so many people are connecting with the characters he helped create! In every interview, he makes sure to thank the artists.

The choose of questions was very smart from Larry. He seems to put so much effort into each expression. She was an amazing interviewer.

I think that Carson was not feeling comfortable in some parts of the interview.

Evaluation

What I have learnt from both the interviewers was the way you host someone, the type of questions you can ask and when, also how to change the interview into a friendly interview.

The way you look at your guest and the body language you use to make him feel comfortable

For Barbra I like the way she is introducing her guest and the warm up she makes at the beginning of each interview.

And for Larry he is very professional in starting and involving his guest into the interview I like him the most.

Both of them are considered two of the greatest interviewers in the world they are called as softball interviewers.
