Eh, it's hard to agree with everything the guy says. Especially when sensational words are thrown around like destroyed, killed, and ruined. Sure the success of work by innovative writers like Alan Moore influenced the Industry, but that's it - organic change. And when we reflect on the 90's we often find that there were actually a number of good series amongst the mountains of rubbish that was coming out.

Curious what everyone thinks about this. I agree with the analysis of the movie, but I feel like there should be a caveat that comics aren't in the same state they were in the days of Liefeld and McFarlane. Image is a wholly different company these days and his writing off of Azzarello's WW run is a bit troubling.

Him writing off Azzarello's run may not be fair but it is understandable. Azzy was a leading part in this movie and stated they made Bruce and Babs have that diet-incest sex because, "The thing about this is that it's controversial, so we added more controversy." His most famous contribution to DC comics is also the rewriting of the Amazons, once immortal warriors who preached peace first, into rapist feminazis. He seems more concerned with stirring shit than creating a good product to me.

Bruce would never have slept with one of his only friend's daughter.
It shows that the writers and/or producers have no idea of the Bruce/Batman character, and should not be involved in comic movies.
