I don’t think I will ever get over how the Batman Beyond Rebirth series treated/used Matt McGinnis during its run. Ever.

Cause one of the main reasons I dove into reading the rebirth series was to read about how Matt became Robin and what his time was like. And having read and finishing the entire run like a year ago it STILL upsets me how they set him up to be Robin, stressing that he is essential to Terry’s batman and to his success, only to rip it away ten issues later b/c “they didn’t want to bring in another child into the mission”.

Acting as if they hadn’t dragged Matt through the ordeal of being sidelined to helplessly watch losing his brother MULTIPLE times both before and after he was Robin. Like what was the whole point of that set up if they were just gonna rip it away?? Explain it to me, b/c I can’t find a damn reason.

#I’m surprised I have yet to share my anger about the rebirth run on this site yet but here we are #I srsly will never get over it #because they had a chance to expand the batfam/bat team for the beyond universe but they didn’t #instead they build it up then take it apart because why the hell not #terry mcginnis is the only one to matter here and anyone else can fuck right off #there could’ve been an introspective into what it is like to step into a legacy role that has been built for DECADES #and learning how to you’re gonna fit into it and how you will define it vs your predecessors #but dc are cowards and won’t do that #I can talk about this for ages but cMON #dc comics #dc #batman beyond #batman #robin #batman and robin #matt mcginnis #terry mcginnis #what sparked this on was because I looked into some of the stuff in the n52 and briefly saw how Matt was being handled there #bro literally cannot stop being sidelined and losing his brother I-
