There's a WEBM on 4chan's /co/ board with the fight leading up to as well.
She attacks Batman repeatedly, then flips him with a hurricanrana and pins him to the ground by mounting him. She goes from growling in his face, to wide-eyed realization as she stares at his blank expression, to having sex with him.

Automatically wrong because the only woman for Bruce is Selina. End of.

And I thought BvS was the worst DC related thing I've seen this year.

Talia though. And Diana. But yes, Bruce and Selina are made for each other.

"IT WAS JUST SEX FOR GOD'S SAKE!" is gonna be my favorite line of dialog all year, especially Tara Strong trying her hardest to make it not ridiculous

So perfect.
NO nO Non no nein ¡No! That's not fine!
The original already had tons of problems with Barbara's treatment this makes it somehow worse.
AYO WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
This is a textbook example of trying so hard to be mature that it becomes immature.

Here's how many fucks Timm gives about our opinions:
one - Bruce and Barbara
To be fair, Batman and Gordon are more worklife proximity associates.
Gordon is kind of his boss. In a way. Love finds a way.

Bruce Timm has always been a hack. It's just 90s kids that constantly kissed his ass. It's the same people that keep clamoring for Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill over and over and over ad naseum. Maybe now they'll realize that he isn't someone to idolize.
Batman's like a weird inverse of Matthew McConaughey in Dazed and Confused. They get older and he stays the same age.

I was wondering why this thread got bumped. Welp guess I will not be watching that for sure.
Going too far. I've always been critical about this character relationship, but by and large the Batman TAS universe was an exceptional creative work. Bruce Timm did not write most of that, it maybe should be pointed out. His art direction has always been on point though. I'm fully sure this movie will look outstanding even if it is tainted by Timm's insistence on pairing Bruce and Barbra.

Batman has ALWAYS been a questionable character. Dude would bang his own mother if it brought his parents back to life.
Blah. Batgirl is weird in that she's a surrogate daughter at best.
I think the question people should ask themselves is would it be weird if Bruce and Dick had sex provided they were gay? I'd imagine most people would say yes because of their relationship. But what if Bruce had adopted Barbara instead and Dick had been the Gordon's son and Bruce slept with him in that circumstance. Does that change anything? I've met couples with men in their late forties and girls in their early twenties and thought nothing of it beyond noticing. Who am I to judge? But the whole dynamic between Gordon being a longtime ally and Barbara's history with Dick, it's a little unsettling. I'd be pissed if I were either Gordon or Dick.

Not really considering this was already established in TNBA and Beyond.
The one thing I think most of us forget here is that Barbera is not some victim in all this. If we are assigning blame to characters, why is she absolved of pretty much all of it?
The pairing is weird. And it is weird that Timm keeps on pushing it, but it is not really that creepy: she in her early twenties and he in his late thirties.

As someone who isn't really very knowledgeable about all this. How is this bruce timm guy allowed to add this sex story, which apparently is extremely disliked by fans, into a seperate story that doesn't have the sex part originally?
Seems really weird to me that dc would sign off on this unless they're completely tone deaf
