What’s your honest take on Grant Morrison’s Batman run? Or even Morrison as a writer? Anything that gets brushed under the rug or overly praised?
OKAY. Listen, honestly I think he’s good at world building like in Marvel comics when X-Men needed some nuance and something fresh, new concepts and ideas… he was able to really do that. It was awesome, characters I love but were ignored got some really indetail character building like he’s responsible for Emma Frost having a huge character arc and writing her in a way that made her genuinely interesting - he’s also responsible for her transfem coding… or at least, enough of it to where people associate her trans coding with him.
But here’s also an issue;
He wrote her trans coded, yes but he also wrote her as this person who “this woman that uses her power to trick man into having sex with her” Scott and Emma’s relationship was suddenly written to be weirdly rapey…? which is kind of transphobic even if Emma is not actually transgender.
Then Talia… Talia Al Ghul was written to have drugged and raped Bruce Wayne to conceive Damian… which is like? Why? because you forget to check if it was consensual or not? Dude… Bruce and Talia are one of the horniest couples in DC AND SCOTT AND EMMA ARE THE SAME? EVERYTIME THEY ARE TOGETHER ITS A MORNING AFTER PANEL!
He’s one of those writers who I’m like, you should not be really getting the pen until you know how to act. It’s like he doesn’t know how to write consent.
One of those writers who are only really good for making queercoded characters but beside that like perhaps has some good ideas.
And for the Batman run… it honestly was… a waste of time, I’m not going to lie, it was so weird and ooc and just bad, I honestly can’t stand those books… and the art he uses is so ugly… ugh, the only thing I liked were the villians and how scary they actually seemed, like I said, he’s better with concepts then he is with characters.
He needs to stay away from characters, maybe he could co-write because… dude, it’s not really working… He had something good going on with Dick and Damian but still, not as good as people pretend it was for either of them.
