#I live in fear that they'll let him write Batbooks again and give him a Batgirl book

[fantastic-nonsense]

Why don’t you like Tom King?

I mean, I know why I don’t like him but I would love to read the opinion of someone with a much more extensive comic knowledge, accurate grasp on dc characters, and who doesn’t struggle to put down in words their thoughts (you 💗).

The short version is that I do not like how he writes basically any pre-existing character he's handed, I do not like how he writes women, I do not like how racist he is about MENA people in his stories, I do not personally like his trend of long-winded external narration, I think he's bad at writing dialogue, I think his understanding of politics is terrible, and I think letting a man who is proud of the fact that he helped plan the invasion of Iraq continue to write comics where he uses the characters to subtly prop up his old job is abhorrent.

I could do a novel-length rant about him, of course, but what good would that really do? It's exhausting that DC continues to not only give him books but has seemingly appointed him as a go-to writer for female-centric books despite the fact that his writing of women is largely garbage. Stop hiring the nepo baby war criminal and hire more women, DC. It's not hard!
