Moving this here for further discussion, as while it applies to the DK-verse as a whole, it doesn't apply to this particular work in full.

Men Get Old, Women Get Replaced: Catwoman has gotten old and fat by the time Batman comes out of retirement. Almost all of the male heroes, including Batman, Superman, Green Lantern, Flash, Green Arrow and The Atom, and even villains like The Joker and Lex Luthor, have gotten older but are still capable of fighting. The only active superheroines in the story are younger replacements, with the exception of Wonder Woman, who is immortal.

Tropes? We don't need no stinkin tropes

Is this organizational layout a good idea? It feels like it will make it difficult to navigate for tropers who aren't extremely familiar with the different types of tropes

And furthermore, moreover, I consider that Five-Man Band must be merged with The Team. Hide / Show Replies

Generally, these kinds of "thematic" splits are bad ideas, indeed.

For what it's worth, I edited the page so the tropes are now listed alphabetically instead in type-specific folders. Apparently that was the idea of Willbyr a couple of years back and his only edit reason given was "starting to rearrange tropes into folders", which wasn't really implemented aside from this page.

If there's any issue with what I've done, please feel free revert the page to how it was originally laid out.
