    Batman has to deal with matters of loyalty and filial piety, when in his devotion to honor, duty, and family commits ugly acts like imprisoning without trial anyone capable of powers on the chance they may be a danger to the royal family and has to accept the consequences of his actions like how everyone beyond the royal court despises him and thats without the bastard angst of being Jor-El's bastard son

    Wonder Woman....... she likes Zala

    Yeah, that's been his thing with her in most of his stories.

    Injustice - Pretty much created the "devil on the shoulder" characterization the second game ran with and the only time she got some focus was in the comics after he left the series. Only delved into what made her so drastically different from everyone else in one annual in the Injustice 2 comics in 2017 so he could ride off the coattails of the WW solo movie. Right down the artists pretty much tracing over stills from the movie.

    DCeased - Nonfactor until he needed someone for Zombie Superman to flex on in the last issue and Marvel Marvel and Black Canary in the tie-ins/sequels.

    It seems like Taylor's only mission statement in Dark Knights of Steel was to give Diana a queer relationship so people would retweet about how DC finally did it, and doing it with Supergirl being a brave call...

    Despite it not even being Kara, and also an elseworlds where Diana is essentially a Super-person's girlfriend and does not really do **** on her own.




    But hey, net cred!

    In yet another "let's kill a female character in a gruesome way for shock value" instance. I am so bored by Tom Taylor, and I don't get why he is so popular.
    He writes a lot of cheap self-aware "aren't comics wacky" jokes and superficially "wholesome" moments that the Twitter/tumblr crowd loves. It's just pandering to the lowest common denominator.

    The dissing of Green Arrow will continue until Taylor makes him a bearable character.

    Is Tom Taylor the dude who writes the comic book that stars Superman's queer son?

    Thanks.
    Guy seems to have a huge following. I just wish that more of these comic book creators with the big fandoms and popularity tried to understand the essence of Diana beyond the cliches and the typical fanboy misconceptions.
