Batman #12: New Weinstein-Inspired Character Dies

BC
BLEEDING COOL
Batman #12, dropping tomorrow, introduces a character clearly modeled after Harvey Weinstein—and immediately kills him off. It's a bold narrative choice that uses the predatory Hollywood figure as a plot point rather than lingering on him. The move suggests the issue uses the character's demise to drive forward whatever story threads are unfolding in Gotham. Whether this lands as sharp commentary or feels ham-fisted probably depends on the execution and context.
ComicsBuzz Take
Killing off a Weinstein stand-in immediately is the comic equivalent of dunking on low-hanging fruit—effective for catharsis maybe, but narratively risky if there's no deeper point being made about systemic corruption.
