And then they can't even get the facts from the bad take on Talia right.
"She killed Damian/ordered the Heretic to kill Damian!"
No, she didn't! Morrison!Talia thought Bruce would make sure Damian would stay safe in the batcave, she was furious with the Heretic for killing Damian, had all the assassin's who had a part in it executed and ended up beheading the Heretic for his disobedience. She told Ra's that she didn't think Damian would be there.
And he even might not have been there if Bruce hadn't offered to give Damian back to her in exchange for Gotham's safety EVEN THOUGH SHE NEVER ASKED HIM TO DO SO, causing Damian to feel like he needed to prove to his father that he was able to do good.
I'm not a fan of Morrison's run, so why do I constantly see many people who claim to BE FANS of it get the most basic facts wrong?
And oh, of course they just happen to get things wrong about Talia so that she gets off even worse, while they can probably write you an essay about how "deep" Morrison's take on Bruce was or how "great" the writing for Dick and Damian was.
Also, let's just ignore that Morrison seems to hold quite a few highly questionable opinions on drugs or consensual sex in real life, no, let's just blame the characters for Morrison's choices even though they are fictional. After all Morrison is "a genius"🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️
I'm so tired about bad writing for female (and especially woc) characters getting treated as "oh, yeah, that's unfortunate, but the rest is genius!" by so many people.
"Talia raping Bruce wasn't out of character for her because *inserts other ooc examples from stories that were also written by Grant Morrison or were published after Morrison's character assassination*!!!"
🤦‍♀️
