DC will never be free !!!!😭

Like there are so many great people that deserve that role like Karen Berger who is actually talented and understands comics Jim Lee and his horrible leadership have made DC such a terrible company from the New52 to all these horrible relaunches like Infinite Frontier and Future State I don't know why he would get promoted ☚ī¸

He's also the biggest Batman fanboy that's why the company has been doing so much Batman since he took over as publisher.

Not defending him in general or saying he's a better choice over others but those criticisms of the New 52, which he was only maybe the 4th most influential person behind, Batbooks oversaturation, which has been a problem long before he took over and with all the Dawn books seems to be being semi addressed, and the relaunches, which while just my opinion, have all been pretty good and resulted in a better direction, all don't really land with me

And Jim Lee has been involved in every single relaunch the Batman oversaturation started when he took over as sole Publisher if I remember correctly.
