He never said he was. Sounded like he thinks the art is the selling point rather than the writing, but that doesn't mean he thinks Taylor needs to go.

The only two things I've read from Tom Taylor is Batman - the Detective and Nightwing. As far as I'm concerned, he's knocked 'em out of the park with both.
Keep in mind that you have about as much chance of changing my mind as I do of changing yours.
When Taylor's run is over and Bludhaven and Blockbuster are still worthless, Dick's sister is dropped into limbo, and fans are complaining about Dick's directions as always, I honestly can't wait for all the excuses fans will come up with about how Bludhaven is still a great concept that writers just haven't gotten right.

Variant cover of 87 by Jamal Campbell.
Somehow the Nightwing covers just keep getting better and better, and they were already amazing to begin with.
I'll probably buy at least 2 copies of this issue.
I don't think Taylor really believes that the art is the main draw of this series. He always says that the artists he works with are amazing and that he feels bad adding text that hides their work.
It's the Dynamic Duo! Batman and Robin!... and Red Robin and Red Hood and Nightwing and Batwoman and Batgirl and Orphan and Spoiler and Bluebird and Lark and Gotham Girl and Talon and Batwing and Huntress and Azreal and Flamebird and Batcow?
Since when could just anybody do what we trained to do? It makes it all dumb instead of special. Like it doesn't matter anymore.
