much love to ‘i love my blorbo but they did all that’ but there should be a new category of ‘i love my blorbo but they were written by someone with transparent but unspoken biases and you gotta understand that context’

hey its me comic writer who constantly mischaracterizes characters because i turn them into ocs and two-dimensional self-inserts i'm gonna make your favorite character more accessible to new readers by regressing their growth, retconning longstanding canon, and ultimately making the timeline impossible to follow thus discouraging new readers while also inconveniencing dedicated fans by destroying the character they love so much hope you understand

DC Therapists: Psychiatrists, Psychologists and Counsellors
Say you want to write about a DC superhero seeking psychological treatment or seeing a counsellor. I know, it often feels overwhelming trying to pick someone to use; it can feel like every psychologist or psychiatrist is either seen treating villains in Arkham Asylum and getting promptly killed on page, or is an outright villain. But not all of them fit into those two categories! There are more than a few characters across DC who have provided psychological treatment for various superheroes and can be trusted to keep secret identities; both those who know about various identities and those who would keep them as privileged information if approached by someone who wanted treatment.
This is the please stop using Dinah Lance as a psychologist in stories about comics canon, she is a florist, martial artist and secret agent folks post.
Heroes who also have psychological qualifications:
Lilith Clay [Omen] and Kara Zor-L [Power Girl] (Action Comics #1051, Power Girl 2023): psychiatrist and telepathic therapist
Kent V. Nelson [Doctor Fate] (Countdown to Mystery 2007): psychiatrist
Khalid Nassour [Doctor Fate] (Superman 2018 #23-25): EMT and counsellor
People who have specifically treated superheroes or know superhero identities:
Dr Claire Foster (Superman 2002, Titans 2008): either psychiatrist or psychologist
Dr Owen Slade (Flash 1987 #9-11): psychiatrist
Dr Bridget Clancy (Nightwing 1999): doctor, occasional psychiatrist
Dr Parker (The New Titans #57 1988): therapist
Dr Marion Winston (Amethyst Princess of Gemworld 1983 and 1985): child psychologist
Dr Leslie Thompkins (Batman, generally): general practitioner/primary care physician, occasional social worker
Dr Alan Huss (Batwoman 2011): therapist
Dr Simon LaGrieve (Suicide Squad 1987): psychiatrist
Dr Marnie Herrs (Suicide Squad 1987): psychotherapist
Dr Mac McCoy (Suicide Squad 1987): psychiatrist or psychologist - refers to himself as a head-shrinker
Dr Edmond Cathcart (Brave and the Bold 1955): psychiatrist
People slightly outside the scope of the project who are still worth mentioning:
Dr Ryk’rr (Legionnaires 1993 & Legion of Super-Heroes 1989): a psychologist for the Legion of Super-Heroes. Slightly beyond the scope of this project, given she’s based in the 31st century, but if you’re writing stories set in the 31st century and want a therapist, she’s available!
Dr Harleen Quinzel (Harley Quinn, Batman generally): psychiatrist. I don’t think Harley reasonably fits into the categories I want, as she’s definitely disbarred as a psychiatrist and all over the shop depending on period, but Harley also does love to give unsolicited counselling advice.
If you want to add more names in I am delighted to add them.
Currently in the “this is going to take more research” pile are the following:-
Brian Bryan (Azrael 1995): It seems that Brian twonames here is another failed therapist who ended up on the street, then gets himself back together over the course of the Azbats run, counselling JPV. Not yet added as I suspect I need to read a bunch of the run to get enough relevant context.
Rene Carpenter (Vigilante 2005): I need to track down a version of this miniseries, and see whether she’s a beneficial character or not. Given this is Vigilante, that’s not a given.
Dr Derwood Denton (Ambush Bug): He treated Ambush Bug and then became a TV doctor and from summaries seems to occupy a similar niche to Dr Phil at best, so I suspect he falls outside the scope of what I want.
Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud (Kid Eternity 1993): this is some Vertigo level nonsense involving dead spirits of real psychiatrists and I am going to need to read around it for more context.

Fr tho, how do Raven and Wally fans feel about them during the new teen titans? What about their relationship? I'm personally really not a fan of them together, even though I do like their characters by themselves (though putting a love spell on someone is a really shitty thing to do and I don't just overlooking it was okay.
also Raven was with Ace for a brief period of time? Please stop pairing her with ny from of kid flash

Something critical is that probably the real dick grayson would absolutely never ever casually call BW Dad to his face, and truthfully even post-adoption in GK#17 the father-son thing is only like 49% of the Bruce & Dick rs although dick absolutely does lasso bruce into conversations as in “oh my dad does the same thing!” when hes having conversations w total strangers faraway from anywhere on the eastern seaboard where word could never get back and associations could not be made BUT WITH ALL OF IT SAID THAT DICK WOULD NEVER CALL BRUCE DAD TO HIS FACE, in Bruce’s like deepest, most potent fantasies, like daydreams and nightdreams and also canonically that issue where bruce is in that feartoxin dreamscape world in Batman/superman #65 where his parents are alive and bruce is romantically stable and dick is his son, Dick absolutely, and invariably, calls him Dad. But that element absolutely isnt on the table in the real world at all. It isnt even that Bruce Wants That—he doesn’t want a change to the very precarious working current order, not even a very small one bc its very precious & risk aversion reasons—but it’s also like a satisfying recognition of some real under-the-surface order in the world that bruce perceives but which just isnt in play in the real world. But it is something explicit and certain in Bruce’s head and something that Bruce is aware of. And sometimes he like closes his eyes and thinks of it or something.
