Well, Now We Know Why It’s Not To Be Called A Reboot…

I walked into my local comic shop today and was bombarded with all sorts of offensive comments (comments that I found offensive, they were very sexist and ableist) today about the DC reboot by a notorious staff member there.

How about this: Steve Rude posted on his Facebook page that he wants to come back to doing regular comic book work.

Dear comics-related Internet

As someone with a degenerative spinal condition

I’d like to add that Oracle was just as important to people who have disabled loved ones

Oh my god. This is the most horrific, ableist, awful, exclusionary, bigoted thing (trigger warning)

So if Barbara is getting her legs back


So what are you looking for post-Flashpoint?


Also, you know, Babs is a woman

I asked for a comission of Cass and Steph as Batman and Robin btw

ugggghTHIS

For the record, Cass is my Batgirl

or all of those people who scoff about those of us who are freaking out about the reboot, saying that we’re hypocrites who can’t stand change

So, I am leaving DC officially

I just wanted to say, it pisses me off that DC is moving one step forward but then two steps backwards.
