So some asshole on tumblr has decided that Batman And Robin #23 (ft. the return of Jason Todd) is an objectively bad story because, horror, girls might like it.

I actually quite liked the issue. Until that last page because, seriously, what?

It was a well-written issue that explored some important things about the characters-- I liked Bruce's inability to talk about anything other than business, and Dick worrying about Jason's safety. But because Jason was naked sometimes and reads Jane Austen, apparently, the story was "bad fanfiction."

I think most Fanfiction writers could have done better with books like Cry for Justice, personally. And I agree with your points.

I'm still stuck on "Random dinosaur with a machine gun", though. XD

Oh no women like comics. And what's worse they like Batman comics. *GASP* What shall the universe do?

Obviously the industry would be better off without us and our money. Somehow. I don't know, I don't understand capitalism, I'm just a girl. Math is hard, I love shopping, where's my navel, stop looking at me I haven't got any bits. [/talking Barbie]

Probably! I have heard good things about a book called Thor: The Mighty Avenger which should be available in paperback. He usually stocks up on books about people who have movies coming out, so.
