This feels like it should be a queer trickster show and I want to watch that.

The Black Glove is fun as a pretty classic riff on Christie’s And Then There Were None but all the characters are knockoffs of Batman.

I originally got into Morrison’s Batman because JH Williams III doing the artwork for “The Black Glove” (which among other things involved him mimicking other artists) and I admit I still prefer his work to Tony Daniel’s, although I have grown to appreciate Daniel for his 70s Batman vibe.

This is a huge part of why so many people think we're in the middle of a widespread "anti-woke backlash": Small movements opposed to social progress are collected into trend stories by conservative media. Far larger movements that want more diversity are ignored or cast as threats.
"Woke is ruining D&D". Meanwhile Dimension 20, one of the wokest real play shows around, just sold out Madison Square Garden and the Hollywood Bowl for live shows and brings armies of new players to RPGs.

It’s like they want @nachochip.bsky.social to obliterate them from orbit or something.

I think I’m just experiencing a critical reappraisal of Damian.

You are so cute, what are you even talking about.

The “let’s breed a Batman” eugenic nonsense Talia Al Ghul goes in for makes my brain twitch a little.

I tried to read the prose chapter, the Clown at Midnight but I don’t love the writing and the page layouts really jangle my brain.

I don’t think it’d be difficult to convince me.

Yeah, this is one of the reasons I ended up on the island after growing up in the north.
