He gave away Batman’s identity? Really? Was it Bruce Wayne? Because they’ve never been in the room together at the same time…

That this conversation is happening is kind of baffling. In tech journalism, using people’s Twitter accounts and blogs as sources for news has been going on for a few years now and it’s not questioned. It’s not questioned in political reporting, either. What makes the comic book writers and artists think they’re special? Entertainment reporting in other media was onto stalking blogs and Twitter long before even tech or politics!

He took his blog down for a bit but is back up and running after cooling his head a bit.

He took his blog down and blamed CBR for letting people know he’d posted a sketch he probably shouldn’t have.

It was blaming CBR that was the odd bit.

Reminds me of the recent Tony Daniel blow up after he posted sketches that gave away the identity of Batman and made the rounds on the net. He took his blog down for a bit but is back up and running after cooling his head a bit.

Yeah, can’t say that I’m particularly convinced by the argument that decisions should be based on whether they could possibly inconvenience bad trotsky.

In any event, most creators, like Ed Brubaker, know enough not to say anything in public that they would be pissed to see pop up in, say, Lying in the Gutters or in a Robot 6 post.

Well we actually have comic creators who post here on CBR unlike your Distinguished Competition . I want them to continue to do so. I am reading a thread and maybe posting in it and Ed Brubaker shows up and sets us right on some thing or the other I feel great. If twitter copy and pastes pisses of creators we shouldnt.

I should totally get a twitter account and announce that I’m the new writer of Teen Titans.

I’m sure the job’s vacant. Nobody seems able to keep it for very long.
