Do people even still care about this movie???

If they really saw the movie they'd have realized that Ghostbustesses is the least feminist movie ever made. The ghosts are peaceful creatures; they won't give you anything worse than a slime bukake (yeah, some ghosts throw people around and destroy buildings, but how can you judge a whole group of entities by the action of a few lunatics?!), yet these females escalate -- nay, create -- the conflict by zapping them with proton beams (held at crouch level, a salute to the phallocentric Patriarchy), punch them with metal fists, and throw grenades at time. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE FEMINIST VIRTUE OF COMMUNICATION, DIALOGUE AND EMPATHY?! Indeed, the only feminist character in the whole film is Dan Aykroyd's cabbie -- his decision to continue working in the ghost-enriched streets, and his new pronouncement "I ain't afraid of no ghosts" is the indication that he is willing to compromise with ghosts for peaceful coexistance.

Isn't the animated film giving her more screen time than the original comic, where she literally shows up just to get shot by the Joker?

I read the other day that her screen time includes crap like
becoming Batgirl so that Batman-sempai will notice her, having sex with Batman, and then Batman never calls her afterward and she sits by the phone, waiting.
I'm starting to wonder if Bruce Timm asks his wife to dress up like Batman while he dresses up as various DC superheroines.
 
Wow, I wasn't really interested in seeing the film since I think Killing Joke is really overrated, but that's really fucking dumb. This isn't the first time Bruce Timm has done that though, in Batman Beyond the two were in a relationship at one point.

I thought Bruce Timm was just executive producing the film and didn't have that much input on it.

He seems to have had quite a bit of input on these changes, based on this: http://www.gamesradar.com/batman-th...m-responds-to-controversial-batgirl-prologue/
Fun part of his quote
is that he doesn't seem to realize that you probably shouldn't be referring to Batman and Batgirl as a parent/child relationship when you just made them have sex.

But I'm probably getting off topic.
