#but now we can’t even handle 1 free 10 page long explicitly non-canon comic book series

For me it’s simply that I like comedy, and sometimes all I want to read is just silly adventures with no serious consequences. If I want to read comics with more seriousness but still some levity, I still have Nightwing for that.

I do think that the fanon argument I’ve been seeing is a little odd. For one, the people currently in writing teams for all canon batfamily comics are just that- fans. They grew up and loved the comics so much that now they’re writing their own versions of them. Just because they have the corporate ‘DC Canon’ label doesn’t mean they aren’t any more or less fan interpretations than WFA is.

Secondly, fanfiction is not exactly uncommon. Classics themselves have been written as basically just Bible fanfiction. No one says how characters seem a bit ‘OOC’ in Dante’s Inferno. Now I’m not saying WFA falls into a classic, but to say that it’s lesser because it appeals to fans is… a weird take. When N52 fucked up most of our favourite characters, we’re fans happy that DC was completely ignoring its fandom base? In the worst writing canon moments of your favourite characters, did you not once have a thought of ‘I wish they just listened to the fans’?

Also to anyone saying how they changed the personalities too much… yeah they kinda had to. That’s the gimmick here. If they didn’t, Wayne Family Adventures would just be Bruce stubbornly running into danger and beating up his kids when they try to intervene (I would say that sounds facetious if that hadn’t literally happened in the last Batman issue). The point of it is entirely just a ‘what if the batfamily was just a close knit family?’ You’re free to not enjoy that dynamic of course, but the argument that ‘these characters aren’t like their canon selves’ is an odd one when that wasn’t the full intent of the writers to begin with.

Am I the only person who actually enjoys the batfamily webtoon? I see many people who are saying that the webtoon is bad representation and too fanon. I just think the webtoon it's just the family acting domestic and talking to each one like if no one is trying to murder them.
