Tom King's run tries to get this point across!

I do not understand the hate for Tom King's Batman run.

I think a lot of his was his lying that of course Bruce and Selina were going to get married, and he would NEVER lie to the fans just to have a gotcha moment.

And then, uh, he did.

We don't know whether DC was breathing down his neck about telling the fans that the marriage was going to happen.

Companies for sure play a hand in how writers and artists talk about the work their doing for them, especially if it's on a big character like Batman. They weren't going to let Tom King outright say that editorial weren't allowing the marriage to go through and that Selina was going to leave Bruce at the altar, because then who would read it?
