a true dc comics fan will always speak ill of dc comics

Deadshot being a default Suicide Squad member means we don't see him in Arkham much but he's well suited for the place if he wasn't Waller's favorite and she didn't have a shrink on hand to give him therapy I feels like he'd be there more. He's projected his dead brother onto both Batman and Rick Flag so I can imagine Batman's file on him isn't what people expect. He suicidal and unstable but not in a cartoonish joker-esque crazy so when he comes off as apathetic people assume he must be a sane silent brooding man type. Plus I fully believe he let Black Mask kill him because he was so done with life; so if he gets arrested they should ship him to Arkham. Let him be a menace to the bats for a bit. I wanna see them try to talk him down. Wanna see this man crash out again after thinking Batman's been killed. Put him in situations. Let things get fucked up on account of him having been such close friends with Bane. Bring back references to the time with Red Hood when he was undead. I wanna see this man spiral as he slowly starts rotting again and craving human flesh. He was there when the villains teamed up on account of the magical lobotomies. I wanna watch him call Batman on his shit I wanna watch him try and die for the man because that's his brother Eddie he takes it back he doesn't want to live he's getting worse and he's the type to believe he deserves hell because he's already an irredeemable asshole in his own mind. Catman was his better half and the man can't stand him anymore(or so he thinks). I want Deadshot to look a bat kid in the eye and tell them he can't be saved because he regrets nothing except be regrets everything and it's what fuels his self hatred. But he's done too much wrong to be forgiven. I want him to do it because some villain is trying to manipulate them into thinking they've changed to get an advantage. I want the bats to struggle dealing with a man who hates himself impulsively kills and thinks he's a monster when compared to someone who does good for all the wrong reasons. He's not here to be redeemed he's here for the trauma.

dc realised that they didn't need to do anything after the racist backlash to the DCBlackout movement so they decided to get their kicks in by making one of their most prominent Black characters an angry kid with a gun and then immediately killing him off in a popular comic

take me back to when i read batgirl 2000 for the first time

when someone talks about comics without having read comics it’s important to have an omnibus on hand in case they want to delve right in, or to use as a blunt weapon against them

Actually so funny to me that the Seekers have an 800 year old war veteran elf, an experienced druid of an ancient path, and a battle tested soldier and commander, and they're all looking to a 20 college student who died last week for answers, because he can kind read fantasy Latin and his dad is the BBEG. And meanwhile said dead 20 yo college student is frantically waving his hands going "guys I was busy with my Cantrips 101 class and my dad doesn't talk to me anyways, I have no idea what the fuck is happening."
