The Ice Princess

What did you all make of the Ice Princess? 

I thought she was utterly adorable, even if she was a complete bubble-head.  It's a pity she had to die, although she didn't really help herself - she could easily have jumped off the ledge before Batman got to the roof, and she really should have paid more attention to the news, as she might then have had some idea who Oswald Cobblepot was!

I was thought of her as Julie Madison, with a few alterations.

Even though she was quite the airhead, I thought she was hot!

There were definitely similarities between The Ice Princess and Julie Madison, especially the way in which the latter was portrayed in the otherwise wretched Batman & Robin.

Hey Catwoman, do you only light trees, or are you an actress as well?

It's just a shame that no one tried to stop her fall, instead of just standing there like deer caught in the headlight.

There was very little anyone could have done.  Even if some bystanders had tried to catch the Ice Princess, she would have broken her neck/spine upon being caught.  Even worse, anyone who tried to catch her would have been crushed or hit by the impact of her body.

As for Batman, well he probably should have directed the princess to hop off the edge of the building before the Penguin had a chance to scare her.  However, it was obvious that she was terrified, otherwise she would have tried to get off the ledge before he had even showed up.  There is no way that Batman would have been able to catch her when she fell, even with a grappling hook. 

My only gripe against him is that he probably should have been more assertive in fighting Catwoman before the latter could drag the princess away.  If I was Batman in that situation, I would have used the smoke gas that he used in the first film during the Axis Chemicals scene and have come prepared with a smoke mask in order to rescue the princess whilst Catwoman was struggling to see.

Honestly, although I feel bad for her, the Ice Princess should not have been so stupid to begin with.  She shouldn't have allowed herself to be so easily tricked by the Penguin, she should have jumped off the ledge and she shouldn't have gotten so scared by a bunch of baby bats.  Like Catwoman says "Always waiting for some Batman to save you."  Seriously, if she had half a brain she could have used a little initiative.  Sorry to be so harsh.
