inglês term

push the envelope

inglês para português Arte/Literatura Expressões/máximas/ditados
It's a concept that has been dealt with several times before ("What would Gotham be without Batman?") and for a series that claims to push the envelope and bring Batman to his lowest, this plot device is something I could do without. It's there, nonetheless, and it represents only a minor chink in the armor that is "R.I.P."
