Ko-Fi & Other Support

If you enjoy my posts and can afford it, I would greatly appreciate it if you donated to my new ko-fi page! Each of these posts represents multiple hours of unpaid labor. I love writing for this blog, but I’m also an underpaid 20-something trying to stay afloat. I’ve made this master post of every essay I’ve written for this blog as a way to show my appreciation in advance of any support. If you donate, to further show my gratitude and appreciation, I’ll take requests for essay topics in the ‘messages of support.’

If you can’t afford to donate via ko-fi, another great way to show your support is simply by reblogging posts that you find useful and helping my blog reach new writers.

Thanks so much!

Reasons to Love Wonder Woman

She doesn’t sit around mooning over a boy. She has important sh!t to do, yo.

Her love interest, on the other hand, has been known to daydream about her.

And when one of his incarnations tried to act like a chauvinist she was having none of it

Etta, one of Diana’s BFFs, has her priorities straight.

She’s been a woke advocate of civil rights right from the get-go, quite literally before it was cool.

Her caring nature is her strength, not her weakness.

She’s a pacifist at heart, but isn’t a doormat; intolerance, prejudice, and persecution will NOT be tolerated.

And though she doesn’t enjoy doing it, she is completely willing to kill when necessary.

She’s always been anti-war.

Just because she’s a tough BAMF doesn’t mean she has to reject all things traditionally feminine, like liking fashion

She was originally created entirely by women.

And her hometown is basically an island of lesbian legendary warrior women.

She refuses to conform to societal expectations to spare men’s delicate “masculinity”.

She’s the one doing the rescuing of the romantic interest instead of needing a man to save her.

Her boyfriend is in no way intimidated by her confidence and strength.

…In fact, he thinks it’s pretty hot.

She’s always been an advocate of women finding their inner strength.

She doesn’t tolerate misogyny and chauvinism.

She won’t stand for that “men are stronger than women” nonsense either.

Her use of sarcasm is on point.

Her comics have always been adamant about how women are stronger than they realize.

Diana can’t cook and Steve can. And he’s more than happy to take over the chore (teamwork! :D).

Etta isn’t fat shamed.

She’s faster than Superman

In her New 52 incarnation she can command all soldiers and has telepathy

She’s got super breath

She’s omnilingual

She’s bisexual.

She’s hilariously unaware of just how strong she is.

She once genuinely considered building herself a robot just so it could feed her grapes.

Men aren’t listed among her reasons to live. But cake, gorillas, and fellow women are.

She’s utterly baffled by the asinine idea that the belief women are equal to men is sexist against men.

She’s so done with men refusing to accept she’s more of a BAMF than her teammates simply because she’s a woman

Other than Steve, her sidekicks all come from minority and/or oppressed groups.

Her battle gear is designed for utility, not sexiness.

Not that what she wears is anyone’s business but her own.

She is stronger & tougher than both Batman and Superman

Recommeded reading for Dick Grayson / Robin and Nightwing

This is an updated repeat of a couple of lists with reading recommendations with Dick as Robin and Nightwing (Pre-Flashpoint) that I’ve made earlier. But since I wrote them as answers to asks, the posts don’t have a headline, and I find that they can be easy to miss (for me, when I want to look something up…) So I thought I might as well make a new, single post of them.

The stories are in what I imagine would be an in-universe chronology. They are from all periods, ignoring that the Golden/Silver age stories and Bronze/modern age stories have at times been considered two different universes. Most of them are stories that, at the time of their publishing, were canon and in continuity. None is explicitly Elseworld, so you can certainly imagine that they have happened ;-)

To be honest, not all of these comics are examples of great storytelling. Older superhero comics, for instance, are definitely something else compared to modern comics, for better and for worse. I’ve picked some because they are “the first time” or significant in some way (e.g. the first time Dick was almost killed, when Bruce has to fight to keep custody, an infamous fight between Dick and Bruce, the most well-known different origin stories, panels that are often quoted); others because they have a cute or fun moment. I have also included some books that I don’t like myself but are well-known.

Storytelling has changed a lot since Dick was Robin. Back in the Golden and Silver age, with very few exceptions, comics were stand-alone short stories. In later decades, it’s usually arcs that span at least a couple of issues and some stories have consequences for years.

Dick has been an active team member since the 1960s, and he has arguably been at his best in some team titles, but I still don’t have a lot of team books here. I find it difficult to, off the top of my head, recall any “special Dick issues”.

Obviously, these are very personal preferences, and the list is based on what I’ve read and remembered best.

Robin the Boy Wonder. Detective Comics # 38 (The original origin story. There has been maaany more since then – I’ve made a list just with origin stories….) (1940).

Batman: Year Three. Batman # 436-439. (An origin story where Dick spent some time at a nice orphanage before he came to Bruce.) (1989)

Robin Annual vol 2 # 4. (Another origin story, where the Gotham authorities remove Dick him from the circus, and he is put in the Gotham City’s Youth Center. Not my preferred but it’s well known.) (1995)

The Gauntlet. The Batman Chronicles #1. (The test before Batman let Dick start out as Robin.) (1997)

Grimm. Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight #149-153. (A story set when Dick is new as Robin and still uncertain about his place. For a while, he wants to leave Batman and stay in a children’s underground paradise.) (2002)

Robin: Year One. (Traumatic events during Dick’s first year as Robin. He was nearly beat to death by Two-Face. When Bruce said he was not permitted to continue as Robin, Dick ran away because he didn’t think there was a place for him at the Manor any more.) (2001)

The case of the honest crook. Batman #5. (1941)
