Tony Isabella sur Batman on Facebook

	Someone asked about the current attacks on me. Here's the short version... Batman was once my favorite comics character and I still love many versions of the characters. I think Batman has become a toxic character. I think DC's insistence on him dominating their universe diminishes and hurts their other characters. I expressed this when I requested people not invite me to join Batman groups. Bleeding Cool decided this would make great click bait and those miserable cowards were right about that. The "news" has been picked up by just about every low life comics news site you can imagine. Neither BC nor any of the bottom feeders following their lead ever came to me for clarification. Instead, they built what was a throwaway post into this big fucking deal. As a result, I have been harassed and insulted by the usual creeps who live for this sort of thing. I don't hide behind pseudonyms. I don't hesitate to speak my mind. I speak honestly and I conduct my business, be it my writing or anything else, with clean hands, good heart and thoughtfulness. No wonder these creeps can't stand me. Creeps are easy to block. It's time I would rather spend doing useful things, but blocking is easy. I feel a combination of annoyance and sadness for these folks. Their lives are so clearly empty compared to mine. At the risk of sounding prideful, not one of these naysayers (and that most definitely includes Rich Johnson and Jude Terror) have accomplished as much in comics or done as much for comics as I have. And I only consider my career as moderately successful. I greatly appreciate the support I have been shown publicly and privately, often from surprising corners of the Internet. I suspect the creeps and naysayers do not receive support for their trolling or praise for their writing. I am eternally grateful for my fans and friends and industry colleagues. Thank you. I'll keep doing my level best to entertain and educate. I'm far from done with my work.
