That is such an ineloquent and awkward way to say "Tried to design him as a syphathetic antivillain". Also, I hope he gets a damaged tattoo.
I dont see the point of making Alfred a gay uncle. I thought part of the appeal to their dynamic was someone who wasnt obligated to raise an orphan child chose to. Alfred could have hung back and been a professional, but he chose to raise and support Bruce however he could, and still sasses him to this day.
The writer said making Bruce half Chinese would be putting a little something of herself in there, which strikes me as a little odd: instead of a trait personality trait its a background and racial one. While background can influence personality, it just feels strange that its not something like "I emphasized how he deals awkwardly with people he loves because I relate to that". Like, adding unnecessary detail instead of expanding on what was present within the character already. I might be wrong but it feels as if she didnt have much feeling towards Bruce in the first place. She wants to focus on how his wealth is a double edge sword and how his privilage seperates him from others (could be interesting in the right hands!) and chooses to change an element of him just to make him more palitable to her. Hes more of a vehicle for her and didnt care until she racebent him while the main-er focus will be on the joker and Selena bc villain love, but again I could be wrong.
