Time for another installment of: Alex has questions!! So here goes.

Is there anything you and fandom in general disagree about re: your character? What are your ~unpopular opinions~?

I like Combs!Crow as if he were an entirely different character (build, costume, personality... everything is so radically different, how can I not?), but he gave me nightmares as a child and he's voiced by Combs... so I really can't hate him.

I still haven't seen the movies, but I think his appearance is really off-putting. If the version in the comics looked like that, I think his life could have been radically different. :|a

Yeah, I think that's the big thing "oh, but he wasn't terrifying," and I think that's something... I like? The fact that they don't have to be massive, menacing and terrifying to be a villain. I think there was more substance in him before, as a character that was seemingly normal on the surface.

I think a lot of people get caught up in ~ohh he's so handsome~ and forget the core of his past was a whole fucking lot of bullying and mistreatment from 99% of the people who surrounded him.

Definitely. It's unavoidable that his physical appearance was a barrier to his goals (being frightening and respected) and if it's removed he...becomes guy-covered-in-babes-so-why-is-he-unhappy.

I liked the Nolanverse okay (Shhh...I preferred Burton) but I really wish it hadn't so totally eclipsed the rest of the DCU in the eyes of fans.
