every time someone is like "i'm still waiting for the other shoe to drop with orym" im like. do u not understand. he is just a little guy. he is continuing the long storied halfling tradition of being just a little guy like sam, frodo, pippin, merry, and bilbo before him. an overwrought convoluted backstory with a massive twist does not a good character make and if every member of a party did that it'd be so tired by the end. sometimes what you really need is just a little guy. to be there. to feel it all. to understand when no one else does. to carry the weight of the big big world on their small small shoulders. and orym? he is just a little guy.

There needs to be an Oracle movie
Barbara Gordon and her time as Batgirl. The subtle implications of misogyny (from criminals, emergency services, social media, etc.) and her struggles of being slightly outcast from the Bats (maybe not intentionally, but it's still felt). Despite that (and how hard the role is), she admits to feeling alive and powerful as Batgirl. She loves her ability to help Gotham, the city her dad tries so hard to shape up to be better.
Then the Joker shoots Barbara. He doesn't shoot Batgirl, doesn't even know it's Batgirl that's being injured, but he shoots Barbara because she's the commissioner's daughter. Her life changing injury isn't even about her.
There's the hopelessness, the grief, the sense of loss, and then Jason dies.
The Bats, try as they might to be there for her, are drowning in their own grief. They can't be there for her even if they wanted to.
She's wasting away with the realization that she's lost everything and her father is bending under the weight of supporting her and his job as commissioner.
Slowly, an idea comes to her. Slowly, when she starts looking out at Gotham's skyline and sees the clock tower, she begins to pull herself back together.
It's not an easy process, and she does return to depressive spirals and bed rotting, but she starts to have more decent days than bad. She's puts away her first criminal as Oracle. She becomes a feared force the Bats can turn to for help.
The end of the movie will hint at her starting Birds of Prey.

love that no one followed up on these reactions to "none of you have any outstanding entanglements with the law, warrants, anyone chasing you?" and then later there was still almost no reaction to deni$e pulling out a wanted poster with their faces on it
