dceased putting cassie into the super sons age group + making cassie and damian a romantic pairing + straight-up mischaracterizing her. beloathed. despised. abhorred, even.

#who thought this was a good idea #why is cassie written like this #tom taylor headass bitch im coming after u #thanks cas for encouragement thanks dc server for sharing in the horror #cassie sandsmark #dceased #wonder girl #super sons #damian wayne #jon kent #batman #robin #superboy #superman #wonder woman #dc #dc comics #CASSIE'S ROBIN/BATKID IS TIMMY. STOP SEPARATING CORE FOUR. THEYRE ALL SOULMATES #i think cassie's most recent wonder girl outfit is cute and all but it also feels very disney channel #and it gives her a younger vibe that allows dc to group her into the super sons age group #just because they want a younger trinity? and cassie + tim + kon wasn't good enough because? you can't have those 3 without bart?#even though i dont love the idea of trinity/lizzie just bc i dont think wonder woman needs to have a biological child like supes & bats #im hoping that the introduction of her character at least means theyll leave cassie outta this from now on #young justice #core four

This "Jon is a pacifist" Taylor tries to peddle out the character is so misguided & stupid that it's insulting to a lot of other pacifist heroes.

You know maybe I wouldn't hate DickBabs if it was written by Gail Simone. Maybe I wouldn't hate DickBabs if it was written from Barbara's perspective. Maybe I wouldn't hate DickBabs if it was written from Barbara's perspective and was written by a lady writer.

#sorry i am reading through the gail simone new 52 batgirl run and having a lot of thoughts #maybe i wouldn't hate dickbabs if it was written by anyone else but tom taylor #anti dickbabs #i guess

Tom Taylor purposely not mentioning that after this punch Jon goes to make a speech about fascist Superman’s inner good man and conveniently having Jon peace out of the Injustice world while fascist Superman looks like “oh wow, could my son have a point?? Should I have considered morality while I’m currently acting as a dictator that has killed innocent people and has permitted his allies to do the same??”

Sorry, Mr. Taylor, Superman should have sat down with Hitler and talked about how Hitler was doing bad things, but Superman hoped that he would take a better path and stop committing genocide xoxo your buddy Superman ❤️❤️❤️

#didn't know that the people of Spain and Chile should have just convinced Franco and Pinochet to just be better #while they were actively committing crimes against humanity #the Italians should have hugged and talked about feelings with Mussolini instead of stopping him from committing war crimes and genocide #ok tom taylor got it #this is so fucking insulting to all of the victims of dictatorships and genocides and fascists #Jon I'm so sorry buddy that you're being written like this #when others have written you better in other comics #Superman #Tom Taylor #Jon Kent #Clark Kent #Injustice: Gods Among Us #DC #ramblings #comics

Green Lantern: Edge of Oblivion #3

#hi simon !!!!!! 👋👋👋👋#simon baz #lanterns #green lantern #no one else really does anything here so we dont care abt them. also this is simon time <3 #anyways this comic was written by 🤢🤢🤢 tom taylor so uh... fun!#idk i just think his writing is WAY overhyped when its like generally mid and straight up boring too #also theres whole ableism thing w nightwing #i just am NOT a taylor fan. he has written one really good comic in my mind (#which is blood ties (2010) and then immediately bombed it by having the sequel by shitty. and hasnt written anything really good since in m #mind. but idk his simon is decent. at least hes actually in this comic and has lines so major improvements #blah #panelposting #swishy liveblogs

Stargirl: The Lost Children is the best thing to come out of The New Golden Age for several reasons, but first and foremost:

I’m a brown eyed Greta Hayes truther, but look at my girlllllllllll! She looks so good with that slight costume redesign, and I cant wait to actually see her talk and be a charcter for a second and a half in this comic.

Every time Iook at the second picture my mind tells me Greta has a headband for a second, and I wish that was true, because she’d be adorable with one.

Todd Nauck’s Greta also made an appearance on the Dark Crisis: Young Justice #6 variant cover (even if she was nowhere to be seen in the actual issue):

Stargirl: The Lost Children might be the first Geoff Johns comic I’ll willingly buy, even if just for the Todd Nauck art.

#DC comics #young justice #stargirl #stargirl the lost children #read stargirl the lost children #greta hayes #suzie #secret dc #my girl is back #even if not in a yj comic #coming out as a greta hayes stan #now we just need Anita back in a Dr. Fate miniseries #and slobo in an adam strange mini #and then they all reunite in the death in the family 35th anniversary special #and eventually they meet the rest of yj again in the crisis on infinite genders: young justice tie-in #written by tom taylor obviously #in which bart and cissie are forced to marry each other by impulse-mite #who ships timkon and cissiecassie

DC’s writers have been doing meta-commentary for so long, I’m afraid it reached the point where using Fifth-Dimensional Imps is no longer fun, because its really not that different from how they write regular characters speaking.

#a good example for that is YJ: Dark Crisis which wasn't that different from today's Nightwing issue that had Nite-Mite #sidenote that was the least funny Imp I have ever seen #but then again it was written by Tom Taylor so it wasn't surprising #that man needs to be stope d

dc has so much wasted potential it kills me

#sorry for the negativity it's just like. i just talked about kory #but also look at the storys they choose to tell with Joey Wilson #and Barbara Gordon #and Victor Stone #and how they just squander all of that for the sake of making everything into this manufactured version of normalcy in order to maximize #profits because the bible of capitalism says that generic-ness equals marketability #it's just so frustrating that they're never willing to take risks or explore anything more than such a narrow view of the world #think about the stories they could tell with Tara Markov if they weren't busy focusing on Slade Wilson #or the stories they could tell about Grace and Anissa #everything just feels so shallow at dc right now #they're so willing to discard characters of color while writing the same batman comic 17 times over at once #tom taylor throws in one poorly written line referencing Dick's Romani heritage and thinks he's a hero??? like really?? this is the bar???#why can't you get a romani creator to write him???#why can't you give Duke anything ongoing when there are how many batbooks running????#you really can't find any disabled woman willing to write Barbara Gordon as orcale? you really think fans prefer babsgirl to her?#idk if it's a problem with dc or the fandom or both and maybe i'm just out of touch because i only talk to specific people about comics #but if one of your writers is constantly critiqued and called out about abelism maybe you should actually do something instead of just #ignoring the issues...#idk i've been reading old comics with Mal Duncan and it just makes me ask: dc where is he?#and then i look at so many characters of color who just get discarded completely #like the fox family bea mal and karen and onyx and orpheus #the batfam post about black characters getting discarded so quickly makes me question if this happens in other fams as well at dc i just #have little experience with anyone outside the batfam and titans #like hello where's anita from young justice??? she just dropped off the face of the earth when teen titans 2003 changed the lineup #it's especially frustrating when the og creator cares about them and gives them personality and depth (or at least makes them interesting #or likeable or compelling because let's be real a lot of the og creators are also racist) and then immediately after they leave the #vision for the character is completely lost #negativity #vent post #dc you made me attached to these characters just to suffer i swear

Y'all I cannot stress this enough, you need to be reading Tom Taylor's Nightwing right the FUCK NOW.

The issue was so damn good I'm still cackling over it. And it's not just a fluke, the whole damn SERIES is this good! I don't even care if you care about the character (I didn't!) or if you know literally anything at all about him: doesn't matter, read it anyway.

Gods, the scene where he comes out in that outfit and the other character is just "what the fuck are you wearing?" "Umm the clothes you told me to put on?" "What the hell, there was a whole dresser full of normal jeans and shirts, why did you pick that???" "...oh. This was the only stuff I saw. I can go change..." "No. Absolutely not. You're wearing that now, possibly forever. Thanks."

I just...he's on an actual pirate ship. This isn't an alternate dimension or timeline or anything like that, he's just hanging out in regular DC-continuity on a pirate ship. Dressed like that.

Dick Grayson, y'all. A national treasure.

#did i laugh especially hard because i had literally just written a lotr pirate au fanfic before i walked into the back and saw this cover?#you fucking bet i did!#the TIMING oh my gods #but even without that the issue would still have been (a treasure chest of) pure gold #comic rec #nightwing #tom taylor #dc comics #superheroes #comic books #comics #pirates

Stuff IJ!Superman proceeds to do after this:

-Kills Lex Luthor

-Kills Shazam

-Threatens to blow up Metropolis & Gotham to "set an example"

-Threatens to invade another Earth

-Uses Brainiac's technology to brainwash people into following his dictatorship (Yeah Possible ending I know but it's there).

Yeah your words really touched him Jonboy. Fucking idiot.

everyone else on my dashboard and twitter timeline is ranting over that Jason-Roy interaction from today and meanwhile I'm sitting over here writing up a massive treatise on Dark Knights of Steel (aka one of the biggest missed opportunities of a book DC's ever published) but it's just sitting in my drafts because I can't string together my thoughts coherently enough to finish it 😭

#I wanted this book to be good SO BAD #and it's not BAD....but it IS the *epitome* of a wasted opportunity #tom taylor has chronic 'can't NOT write about Batman' disease and it's to DKOS's detriment as a story #also it should have been written by someone who actually knows and loves fairy tales mythology & folklore THANKS AND GOOD NIGHT #dc comics #dark knights of steel

oomfie talking about titans reminded me of what annoys me about current titans so bad and it’s that the entire premise is “we’re not the justice league but omg we have to live up to them :’(” like omg be so serious… it would be Okay if we weren’t more than 20 years into the new millennium

#the new teen titans was first published in 1980 we should be way beyond this #the natural state of cape comics is stasis blah blah oh and you know what else sucks #like i don’t even want it to be a point of comparison u know #but also they were definitely written into this corner cuz most of them were disappeared or de-aged thru dc’s various reboots #also one thing about tom taylor is i sense he’s trying to add the dramatic tone that the original ntt was know for but the problem is #that man does not know what MELODRAMA is #comics folder #i changed one of the tags mid thought but the other thing that sucks is that young justice just occupies this made up middle kid role now

Forgive me for having my icon be from the TT run of Nightwing as I say this

However, I think I knew I wasn't going to be a big fan of that run as soon as I saw how Haley was being written

#nightwing #anti tom taylor #not as him as a person cause idk him #dick grayson #haley is just... cute dog #and i hate it when animals are Written as that #animals just like people have personalities #they DO THINGS that we might not like #they aren't decorations #and i feel like that's all she is #this #might just be a me thing though #it's hard for me to like disney for this same reason tbh
