Today’s topic may not be of interest to most of you, but there is a bigger point to make. I want to take a break from today’s hard political news and talk about one of the more annoying habits in journalism: clickbait headlines.
As long as it can make money from online income, Clickbait has always existed. It is not limited to mainstream media. In fact, many smaller outlets tend to use it to increase revenue. They are sometimes more difficult to get cash than the big players.
Comicbook.com is a reliable website that occasionally reports comic books and movie news. But yesterday I found myself very disappointed with an article, and not for the content.
problem? That is not what happened.
James Tynion IV is a great writer. In fact, between him and Scott Snyder, the recent mainline of the Batman comics from DC has been extraordinary.Snyder ran with the Joker in some major plot lines and ended his escape with an incredible company-wide Metal and Death metal Incident and created one of the best bat villains in “Batman Laughing”.
When he left DC, Tynion picked it up, and the storyline did not slow down. We have witnessed the death of Batman’s oldest and closest ally, Alfred Pennyworth. We have seen the whole clown war. We are watching a new futuristic, but the same dark Gotham is taking shape. Tynion has always been a world builder.
His collaboration with Batman will end in November. This will be the natural ending of his story.Similarly, his performance in a limited series clown It will end in early 2022. This will completely end all loose endings in the story he constructed.
DC offered him a longer company position, allowing him to continue writing for them. At the same time, Substack provided him with a contract that allowed him to do more independent work according to his schedule without worrying that large comic companies would kill his neck. He chose the latter.
He did not “quit”, as the headlines (not just from Comicbook.com) suggest. He did not sign a new contract with DC. He will complete his current project and leave.
This urge to write the most compelling headline, the damn fact, is a very annoying problem, and journalists and websites should really work harder to avoid it. Simply reading the story below the title will tell you that this is not true.
This Eisner Award-winning Author of DC Comics‘ Batman The ongoing series has announced its withdrawal from the series. James Tinion IV Leaving Gotham City to launch new comics, Blue book, Communicate with famous artist Michael Avon Oeming through Substack. “It was not an easy decision,” Tynion said New York Times“In order to invest time in new materials, I need to make a choice. I can’t have both.” DC Comics announces Tynion as new Batman The writer of Batman Day 2019. He led Batman through a period of expansion, including restarting with the beginning of the Age of Infinite Frontiers.His run will continue to pass Upcoming fear state event And it ends in November.
Although Tynion is known for his work among DC comics fans Batman, He created a top-notch catalog of comics owned by creators. Something is killing the child Very popular on BOOM!comics, and Derivative series and Netflix adaptation is in progress. In the post Sustak, Tynion expressed his desire to create more of his content, which is an important reason for him to leave DC.
Nowhere is it said that he “quit”. The term resignation means that he just got up and left the company immediately. This is not the case, but this is what the title will convince you, so you click to view the content, and honestly, you will be disappointed in the end.
So, no, Tynion did not “quit”. He is closing his current project.
