oh i think i forgot to make a post about this but btw i met jm dematteis at sdcc and here are the big takes from our brief conversation:

- The Spectre 2001 is one of his favorite works that he’s done, despite not that many people knowing about it

- When I asked, “So i really liked what u did with the commentary on hal jordan’s masculinity, did u perhaps intend for there to be a queer or genderfluid aspect to the character or did it come naturally?” He responded, “Yeah, I think it just came naturally i’m a very intuitive writer so any sort of those aspects u can thank hal jordan the character himself :)”

- I also said, “What is ur opinion on the fan theory—” (okay fine it’s only MY fan theory) “—that Helen Jordan could become a version of the Spectre as Hal’s protege? Because Grant Morrison brought back Helen Jordan for one issue, and Jeremy Adams on the current GL run had the Spectre ask Hal back to be his host so!!” And he was like, “I think it would be great for Helen to come back in any way!”

the “but he wouldn’t [do/say] that!!” discourse is wasted inside the DC fandom, because every time it comes up, someone manages to dredge up a comic panel of them doing or saying exactly that and then people just start arguing even louder than before

"I did it for you" has gotta be my favorite form of betrayal. You gave me a gift I never asked for, and now I have to look around at the world you destroyed with the knowledge that it was gift wrapped and addressed to me.

Thought about these two and went insane. I miss their old dynamic so much

crazy how dc comics is so bad at getting people to read dc comics that they cant even get people they hire to write dc comics to read dc comics about the characters they are being hired to write .

I love that Jimmy Olsen is exactly the type of photographer Peter Parker pretends to be. Just bat-shit insane.

Whenever someone asks Peter how he took a picture he's like "Oh! I uh-, climmed a flagpole. Totally"

And very mortal, normal-human Jimmy is like "See, Clark, is not that weird"

I mean, look at this nutjob.

The world could be ending, lava on the streets and Jimmy would be out there photographing away. No powers, no sense of self preservation. Just khakis, a camera and a dream.

I like to imagine Peter meeting Jimmy and immediately being mortified about it.

Jimmy: –and so luckily I was able to take the picture before the building collapsed on me... Superman was super pissed at me but, photographer to photographer, it was totally worth it.

Peter: Right, no– See, this is actually my first time hearing how fucking insane that sounds. No wonder people at work look at me weird.
