Hold on a minute. Selina, Diana… If I had a nickel for every time Batman -sometimes known as The Night - dated a moon deity, I’d have two nickels
Your presence is always enough for me
I noticed the coolest thing!!
Selina uses the pet names “honey” and “baby” throughout the movie.
When she talks to Penguin and Gil, the DA, she calls them “honey.” She’s emotionally closed off and undercover, so she doesn’t put her heart into flirting, which makes sense. She uses “honey” to gain info from people; she doesn’t mean anything by that name. The second time she bumps into Batman (when she’s burglarizing the mayor’s house), she even says, “listen honey, I didn’t kill nobody!” She doesn’t trust Batman yet; she doesn’t know if he has the same motivations as her.
But when she rides home in the taxi and phones Annika, she calls her friend “baby.” “I’m coming home, baby.” “We can leave the city tonight, baby.” Annika is her close friend, so it makes sense why she uses that sweet pet name. Selina deeply cares about Anni, and you can tell because baby is genuine compared to honey.
Later on, when Selina talks to Batman by the signal and asks who he is under the mask, she calls him “baby,” and they share a kiss. Selina opened herself up to working with him now, and she’s willing to call him a genuine pet name because she genuinely kinda likes him.
When things go south, and she asks Batman to help her kill the shady cop, and he refuses, Selina is hurt. She thought he was on her side, but he wasn’t. She puts her walls up again and closes him off. “Don’t worry, honey. I got 9 of ‘em.”
And finally, during the big fight scene in the Garden, she decides to stay and save Batman’s life. He’s hurt, and she consoles him by saying, “it’s ok, baby. It’s over now.”
Basically, you can see the filmmakers/Zoë Kravitz put SO MUCH care and love into every detail of Selina’s character. Selina is usually so closed off and elusive, but you can tell how much she cares about someone by the pet name she uses for them! It’s a fascinating aspect of her character!
AND it’s helpful for fanfic writers: Selina is only genuine when she calls someone “baby!” “Honey” is only uses when she’s angry or undercover!

An amazing thing about these sequences is that everything down to the individual plankton, while heavily cartoonified in some cases, can be matched to a real animal even just off the top of my head. The only sort of ambiguous one might be the large brown fish slithering around the first gif.

The pursuit for photorealism in games is a fruitless endeavor that only results in bloated file sizes that take too much space
Doomguy is a bottom
i’m watching an art theft documentary and they’re interviewing this art history professor from new york who was asked to go with the fbi to authenticate a rubens that had been stolen but it was a sting operation so they had to pretend like they weren’t the fbi, that they were some private buyer about to pay $3.5 million for it, and the fbi was like “this is a VERY delicate operation because you never know how they will react to what you have to say so let the agent do all of the talking, don’t say a word to anyone just nod if it’s the rubens, the last operation we did the guy in your position got shot because things went wrong in a second” and then it cuts to the professor’s interview and he says “i wasn’t going to fly down to miami to be a part of an undercover fbi sting operation to handle what could be rubens’s aurora and just NOT say anything. i was gonna have to ad lib a little” and then he tells the interviewer that when he & the fbi agent got to the hotel while he was examining the painting he started lecturing the other people, first on how badly they had wrapped it, and then about like how it had been painted, the history of it, what the subject was and what she was doing, etc etc, and he was like “i hadn’t taught a class on rubens in 15 years, so for me it was like being back in the classroom except my students couldn’t leave”
at one point during the deal the professor turned to the woman selling it and he said “isn’t this just the most beautiful rubens you’ve ever seen outside of a museum?” (because the fbi had told him earlier that this piece had been stolen from a museum) and THEN he said “where on earth did you get it from?” and the group of people the woman had with her was like taxidermy-fox.png but the woman was like “inheritance” can you IMAGINE the fbi agent about to have a fucking aneurysm when this random guy you’ve brought in just to nod if it’s the right painting not only starts giving an impromptu lecture but then he asks how they got it
omg BLESS YOU for the link and the time stamp that was as glorious as described by the OP
Y’all failed to mention that HE posted the video HIMSELF and liked every single comment oh my god
