carece de bastante de sus cualidades pero es lo mínimo que le pudieron dar. No meto en sus versiones a Helena Bertinelli por que es su personaje propio

4 décadas,3 versiones nuevas cada una más desabrida que la anterior siendo la última la peor de las viñetas y desde mi perspectiva la versión mas decente que le trato con algo de respeto es la que tiene la adaptación del evento que la mato pero mínimo cerro ciclo algo que a la original se le negó

Es bastante triste que se celebre una Helena bebé o niña que a la adulta heroína competente que fue paso de ser una heroína respetaba a un trofeo del ship de sus padres es literalmente el meme de Potencial Woman

Helena Wayne se convirtió en la mayor perdedora 💔 de COIE ya ni Lyta que es otra la gran víctima fue tratada asi antes que la mataran previo a Días de Venganza

I know vocal fans are super passionate about Spider-Man/MJ and Batman/Catwoman being married. But if Batman and Spider-Man are consistent Top 10 sellers every year, are the shippers really the majority of both fan bases? Because the heroes not being married isn’t hurting their sales at all.

I admit, I thought I was the only one who wanted justice for Sheepstealer. I feel good knowing it's not just me. That dragon was just minding his own business, living his wild life. And then Rhaena brought the Targaryen civil war to him. Poor Sheepstealer. 😭

Real talk: I think it's really sad (tragic) that Helena Wayne went from being a well-developed, well-established character on pre-Crisis Earth-2 to just being a cool idea that DC uses for "what if?" Batman/Catwoman stories. The original Huntress deserves way better respect than that, in my opinion.

This week’s Detective Comics annual proved there are two types of Helena Wayne fans: original Huntress fans who still want the pre-Crisis Helena Wayne back and Batman fans who are in love with the idea of her character within the context of the post-Crisis Batfamily.

🌹🦇 Batman: Caped Crusader quietly introduced one of DC's most overlooked anti-heroines. Season 2 brings in Rose & Thorn, a character with deep ties to Superman, Green Lantern, the Justice Society, and more. #BatmanCapedCrusader 👀 @dianedarcy.bsky.social breaks her down:

Batman: Caped Crusader Season 2 silently introduced a Superman and Green Lantern anti-heroine

Batman: Caped Crusader introduces Rose & Thorn but downplays her more significant lore.

"A concentration camp, in its most basic definition, is a place where a targeted civilian population, not necessarily accused of a crime, is detained and at least some of their basic rights are suspended," writes @jwashing.bsky.social. "That’s precisely what’s happening in the United States today."

Don’t call them ICE detention centers. Call them camps | John Washington

I’ve spent a decade reporting on immigration enforcement. The word ‘camp’ best captures the political function of these facilities

ORION (2026) is my latest comic and book #2 in @dc.com's Fourth World series for young readers! I'm starting a casual thread to talk about my ideas/the process that went into writing and drawing this project. 🌞

Three books laid out on a rug. They overlap each other. The first is an omnibus of New Gods by Jack Kirby with Orion on the cover in the heat of battle, the second is Old Gods & New by John Morrow which has a CMYK color palette and features a heroic figure stretching their arms, and third ORION by Ngozi Ukazu, a YA graphic novel which shows Orion walking toward the viewer taking off his helmet.

People think "Hollywood" is rich and famous. The reality? Film and TV is a national industry. It's a blue collar industry. And it is an industry free fall. My latest for @newrepublic.com on how the Paramount merger would crush blue collar workers who can not afford it newrepublic.com/article/2136...

There’s a Blue-Collar Hollywood—and the Paramount Merger Will Kill It

Hollywood isn’t all glamour. It’s thousands of line workers. And a Paramount takeover of Warner will make their lives even more precarious.
