Duke Thomas hate thread
Christian Turner
Nathaniel Rodriguez
This character somehow went under my raider for years until I recently started using Any Forums. No way he's from 2013.
Carter Sullivan
It's very easy to miss him. He's got nothing original going on and absolutely nothing new to add to the dynamic of the family.
Zachary Gonzalez
>it's a DC tries to make a new black character the successor or family member of a really known hero
Joseph Morgan
lol you can just spot the Robinfags bloviating about how original and non redundant Dick Jason and Tim are all while being straight(former in tim's case) white dark haired teens who more or less do whatever Bruce tells them
Gabriel Johnson
>Bait
Duke Thomas is still boring, even if I can tell him apart because he is black
Landon Stewart
Hey now, you can also tell him apart because he's wearing yellow.
Cooper Watson
christ what a fucking stupid idea, at least she'd be easy to write out whenever you want "the lab shit wore off lol"
Hudson Campbell
At least Priest used her well in his Deathstroke run and gave her a personality other than generic genius.
Nobody has made Duke stand out in any way.
Leo Green
Didn't Tom King made him a retard?
A black retard is something that stands out more than a genius
Charles Jenkins
He wasn't as "shoved everywhere" as the racists will have you think. He's pretty lame and uninteresting, but it's easy to miss him, even if you read Snyder's run on Batman he's not in it much. Same for Harper.
Caleb Peterson
Seriously were did this puffy buns, supergenius young black girl archetype come from? Why is it everywhere?
Levi Moore
I'm just gonna say it: I don't dislike Duke Thomas, but they need to stick to the original concept: Daylight vigilante in Gotham with civilian support from his robin gang.
Noah Bailey
The only people that really hate Duke on Any Forums is that Cass/Kon shipper. Literally just mad Duke + Cass have a steady amount of stable interaction with a slight romantic undertone.
Nathaniel Bennett
>Daylight vigilante in Gotham with civilian support from his robin gang.
I thought was the GCPD, that was in the comics
Gabriel Gutierrez
I think Bruce having ethnically diverse sidekicks makes him look weird, like an Angelina Jolie type.
Levi Green
It's so fucking funny to me that the only time I hear of Duke is when twitter/tumblr tries to cancel an artist for not putting him in Batfamily spreads.
Last month it happened two times iirc. The nightwing cover and something else. The nightwing one was funny as fuck because Taylor's reponse was 'core family only' which caused an even bigger meltdown
Mason Gonzalez
I don't know what's weird about having a bunch of teens running around half naked in your playboy mansion.
Nathan Cooper
>'core family only'
Kek.
Jayden Campbell
And then they also bitched that Cass being in the background was racist too.
I like to think the blacked out middle was Alfred
William Cook
I don't hate duke, his suit looks bad and he's fuckin boring, all them powers and the nigga is still a snoozefest.
