J.T. Krul is the new Judd Winick
My feelings on DC's hate-boner for the Arrow Clan has been well-documented. [Video ranting, Written ranting. My feelings on Winick are so well-documented, they have their own tag.
I hate Winick. A lot. Like, a super-duper, double-load, send-him-a-shit-in-a-hat lot. And I am utterly amazed at how quickly Krul has managed to climb down the ladder of expectations into the scum beneath the bottom of the barrel where Winick lives.
How did he do it, you ask? Well, he's currently writing "The Rise of Arsenal," wherein Roy Harper, the original Speedy in the Arrow Clan, is about to go evil because his daughter was fridged, and he had his arm ripped off. Full disclosure: I was already ready to hate it. In fact, I was so ready to hate it I refused to read it. Which is why, rather than give you another four paragraphs of rage, I'm going to link you to the Comics Alliance post on the matter. Chris Sims (who was brave enough to introduce the wider world to haunted vaginas), has been reading it, and he gets the rage out nicely and makes all the points I'd have made with a great deal more capslock rage.
Good to know that no matter who they throw the pen to, there's always someone at DC ready to shit on a set of good heroes. Bravo, you fuckers. Bravo.

...and I can't hate Winick. He's the only person thus far that has shown he can write Jason Todd consistently. And will hopefully prove this again tomorrow with Red Hood: Lost Days #1. *hugs Jason and keeps him away from Daniel and Morrison*

And his Batman: Under the Hood stuff is gonna be made into an animated movie this summer. I recommend it.

See, I hated Damian too until I read him in Streets of Gotham? He kinda grows in that one (and gets a
boyfriendfriend and gives him a motorcycle without telling Dick-). In anything else, I still wanna punch him in the face (other than in the last issue of B&R where I wanna punch Morrison in the face for terrible Talia characterization with her son).Red Robin is awesome. Now, there's a book where Jay could fit in. His interactions with Tim are always interesting, and Red Robin was Jason's first; I'd love to see the reactions to that with a face to face, sane meeting.

Okay, you're making me look like a wishy-washy bastard: I forgot about Damien in SoG and that i liked him. This is how comics work for me: If I really love or hate something, I can tell you all the reasons why, but then someone will say, "But what about X," and I'll conceed, and that leads to further conversations about what I've forgotten.
Let's not talk about BftC. There is not enough Locks-Rage in the world for that pile of trouble.

Lol. I didn't want to like him; I was holding out, but no. Streets of Gotham got me with his little boyfriend Colin.
Yes, I concur on this. I had lots of caps lock rage over that last year. Some of the side bits (mainly the Arkham one) that Daniel wasn't writing were okay. That's all I concede (other than giving me 'Be my Robin' which is now a marriage proposal in my head).
