That's good to h...Jose Greogrio Bencomo Gomez,<br /><br />That's good to hear. I can't imagine he pores over every script of every tie-in <i>too</i> closely, but even if he's just rubber-stamping, that makes it all a lot less icky than the <i>Watchmen</i> business. <br /><br /><br />"The Krottage",<br /><br />Ha, yes it is a term the youths use. Short for realtionships (maybe I'm spelling it wrong, and it should be 'ships), it refers to a relationship between two fictional characters in a TV show or whatever, whether its canonical or something that fans wish was real (there's some tangential relationship to slash fan-fiction too, in some cases). On social media, it's usually accompanied by a cute name amalgamation too. For example, Betty and Jughead on <i>Riverdale</i> are "Bughead," while Waverly Earp and Nicole Haught on <i>Wynona Earp</i> are "Wayhaught" (to name the two I hear most about). <br /><br /><i>Bombshells</i> is full of those sorts of pairings, which works because of the "Elseworlds" setting, so if you want Lois Lane and Supergirl to date, or Hawkgirl and Vixen, or whatever, it's do-able there. Bennett engages in a lot of that kind of thing there, like the long "shipped" in fans' heads Harley and Ivy having a canonical romantic relationship in <i>Bombshells</i> (although of late, they've also had a canonical romantic relationship in the DCU too).<br /><br />Anyway, that is my 40-year-old man explanation; Urban Dictionary or somewhere probably has a better one. My nieces and/or my millennial friends who spend a lot of time on Tumblr could explain it way better.
