Alex Doenau @batrock.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Well, also some good stuff, but I hope that the outcome of Supergirl's story is more than just ... I was going to give it a joke name but "The Fortress of Solidarity" is silly enough as it is. 000
Alex Doenau @batrock.bsky.social · 01/10/2026The Reign of the Superboys and Kingdom of Zod storylines that spawned from the DC KO storyline have finally come to an end, and the main through line that I can detect is that nobody externally or internally likes the Tomorrow Man costume and they're going to change it again soon. 110

Alex Doenau @batrock.bsky.social · 03/07/2026People sometimes ask why there was a decade of Superman comics with inverted triangles on the covers. The answer is, of course, because comics are gay. 181

Alex Doenau @batrock.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Very cool that there are bigotries you can openly practice - and parade in the UK press - with absolutely no repercussions whatsoever. 000
Alex Doenau @batrock.bsky.social · 25/06/2026There is one name that keeps appearing on gay book lists and keeps appearing as a quote on the cover of other gay books (including Colin Morgan's), and everyone should know better. The man in question hasn't even covered up his digital breadcrumbs. And he used Zelda ingredients in a dye recipe. 100

Alex Doenau @batrock.bsky.social · 15/06/2026The best thing about looking up UK TV shows on Wikipedia is when you get to the reception section and every time, without fail, it says "and here's what a transphobe had to say about it." 000
