Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Who would you list as the most influential Batman artists?

I think it's interesting that Ross isn't on there.

That's a pretty good list. Has Ross done much work on Batman titles?

Not that I can remember. Also, IMO, Ross hasn't affected how other people draw Batman. He just does his own (excellent) thing, but it's not part of ongoing visual continuity.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

That's probably true of the characters whom his versions of are more iconic (like Superman and Captain Marvel) too. His painted style is so different from most comic artists that there isn't a lot of emulation going on, so far as I'm aware.

Why does Rob Liefeld even exist, in comics world? I mean, I just don't get it. I've seriously made my headache worse by reading this tumblr: [link] and that's not the tumblr owner's fault.
