"Talia can never be redeemed and her romance with Bruce can never come back because *falls for Grant Morrison's/DC's extreme racism towards asian and arab characters in the 2000s/2010s"

Yeah, sorry, but shut the hell up. It never fails to astound me when DC actually tries to fix the mistakes they made with Talia/the al Ghuls in general these last two decades and the fans manage to be even worse than DC by clinging to the blatant racist/sexist writing of the past instead of embracing the turn for the better.

"But she did this and that!"

She's a fictional character in a fictional universe that is aware that it goes through continuity changes/retcons. What Grant Morrison did to her character was a a complete retcon of her 30 year history and characterization with zero respect for her. Why am I supposed to take Morrison's bullshit as gospel and reject any attempts to fix her from writers who know better?

#talia al ghul #fuck grant morrison #I'm fine btw #Just not really keeping up with comics right now #It's just that not a lot of interesting stuff is going on #because apparently the DC comics fandom is forever stuck in the 2000s #And the things that annoy me...well its more or less always the same #I'm not sure if there is much new to say #The main Batman book somehow manages to be one of the worst Batman books #Once again the writer is a Tim fan who doesn't even try to be subtle about their favoritism #and fans will bring up crap from Morrison's run to justify their terrible takes even almost 20 years later #Seriously how the hell do people still manage to write edgy fanfictions about “Dick firing Tim as Robin and trying to sent him to Arkham”#Which isn't even what happened at all #Over 15 years later?#Is there really nothing else to write about???
