Hot damn that was a tough read. Still love the show but Kripke needs to get his head out his ass.

Also, Batman ain't a fascist.

Just goes to show that like Garth, Kripke’s parody of superheroes comes from misinformed hatred rather than love. That’s why they don’t really land imo, and the more worthwhile satire is the political real world stuff. At least until that devolved into just copy-pasting the latest news headlines and replacing “Trump” with “Homelander.”

I think the felon ex-president is scum too, but that’s not the hard hitting satire they think it is.

There's plenty to criticize Garth Ennis for, but being misinformed about superheroes is definitely not one of them.

He is misinformed about WWII and his hatred for Captain America is for not being the Rugged Soldier type
