i love Steph
THIS ISSUE IS THE BEST SINGLE COMICS ISSUE OF ALL TIME, EVEN INCLUDING THAT ONE AT THE END OF THE BRUCE WAYNE: FUGITIVE ARC WHICH IS BASICALLY BRUCE’S DAY OFF.
POINT IS THIS ISSUE IS EVEN BETTER. CASS. AND STEPH. AND BONDING OVER VILLAIN DADS. AND CASS BEING SAD AND ALONE AND SLEEPING IN HER CLOTHES WITH NO BLANKET ON A HOSPITAL BED :( AND STEPH COMING IN AND INSISTING ON TRAINING WITH HER AND GOING AGAIN EVEN THOUGH CASS REALLY BEAT HER UP AND CASS DIDN’T EXPECT IT AND LOVES IT AND STEPH

I’m actually a little offended because if there were ever a male Strong Female Character
it’d be Nightwing
Isn’t that right Karen?
IM A LITTLE BITTER NEGL dick grayson was doing the strong female character thing IN CANON way before anyone knew who clint barton was but WHATEVER FANDOM
WHATEVER
did I mention this isn’t fanart
really printed
ACTUAL POSE IN AN ACTUAL COMIC BOOK
tits and ASS
gratuitous and inhuman
losing clothes since 1980something
yet fandom still decides that CLINT BARTON is a better male Strong Female Character than this flawless prince smh
idg why or how that snub happened but I am protesting it
WE ALL KNOW WHO THE REAL WINNER IS
and did I mention CANON because
CANON MALE STRONG FEMALE CHARACTER
CLEAR WINNER BY A LONG SHOT
DICK GRAYSON PERIOD THE END

“By the same token, sexy is not exploitative, and exploitation is dishonest. Reverse that chain and you can see that, whoever you are writing, if you are honest about them, fair to them, and allow them their moments of brilliance, you can create that sexiness without it becoming pandering. Sexy is not a visual trait - that’s titillation. Cheesecake, beefcake, those are entirely visual matters. What makes someone sexy - what makes anyone sexy, in my opinion - is less how they look than how they do. Competence is sexy. Capability is sexy. Confidence is sexy. Smart is sexy. A character who clearly embodies these traits in some capacity or another is a character who is going to be attractive.
Bending over to pick up a dropped pen with your ass high in the air isn’t sexy, that’s just a butt shot. We confuse arousing with sexy in the same way we confuse strength with cruelty. A strong character isn’t, by definition, a mean one, but the confusion between the two has lead to a shorthand where the attempt to depict a female character as “strong” translates to “bitch.” They’re not the same. Strength is part of character, as well - those characters who know what they want, know what they’re willing to do to achieve those goals, and who rise again and again against opposition are, by definition, strong.”

I really dare anyone to find me another male writer who respects women and understands women better than Greg Rucka. Actually, I’ll take it a step further, I dare you to find another male writer who respects MEN and understands the concept of all the incredibly damaging stereotypes we have about what it means to be “masculine” better than Greg Rucka.
DC Comics has not been the same without him. His loss is deeply, deeply felt. And I firmly believe that if he was running DC Comics in place of the men in power now it would be a far different and better place not only for women but for men as well.

I miss Greg all the time. We disagreed about approach sometimes, but we always knew that we had each other’s back and that we cared about the integrity of the work FIRST, before other considerations.
I don’t believe he’s gone from DC forever. We almost did a Huntress/Question book together, or at least we pitched it (couldn’t do it, Huntress was being used elsewhere). I am hoping to have him back, his voice is sorely missed.

Greg Rucka and Gail Simone nearly did a Huntress/The Question book together. I would buy that like the fist of an angry god, holy moly.

I just read some dude’s ramblings about Tim Drake in the new DCU and lololol I am cracking up
I’m not going to link it because I actually don’t care but I want to highlight my favorite parts:
“My biggest problem with the new DCU is that Tim Drake no longer has his own title”
- OH THE INJUSTICE!!!!
- lmao seriously dude, that’s your biggest problem with the new DCU? really? of all the things?
“Scott Lobdell says he doesn’t like the idea of there being a ‘leader’ on the Teen Titans. Stop Scott just stop. You and Booth are DESTROYING Tim Drake’s Boss Status.”
- o m f g ahahahah boss status
- boss of Warlocks and Warriors maybe
“What’s next? You gonna have him be a celibate until he’s married? Or better yet have no interest in girls at all?”
- AHAHAHAHA
“DC, you’re on the road of turning Tim Drake into a joke.”
- how dare you sir, we take tim drake very seriously around these parts okay
- lmao I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I know, Tim fans are upset he doesn’t have his own book but
- I am so amused
this probably doesn’t seem like it to hardcore Tim fans but this post is actually a love letter to Tim Drake. Nothing like giggling at Tim’s expense to make me realize how fond of him I really am.
flawless post
this is the most amazing Tim post of all time NEVER STOP
I am so glad I was reminded about that one time Tim played D&D all the time with his best friends (where the hell is Ives anyway, did he ever officially go into remission?)
