332. Meghan Fitzmartin on Tim Drake: Robin and JLxRXBY Part 1

Meghan Fitzmartin returns to the podcast for her second appearance 99 episodes after her first (Episode 233). She is an award-winning writer who has written for TV, animation, and comics. She was recently nominated for a GLAAD award for Outstanding Comic Book for Tim Drake: Robin. That particular story arc is where Tim Drake comes out as bisexual.

She is also the writer of a new Warner Bros. Animation movie Justice League X RWBY: Super Heroes & Huntsmen, Part 1. The movie ties into the American-made anime series RXBY. In it, the Justice League is transported to a different world and changed into teenagers.

In this episode, Fitzmartin explains the story behind the Tim Drake arc and the reaction that came from both the comic book audience and mainstream media. She also discussed the rationale for taking a bold step for a mainstream character (Robin) and still making sure the story is compelling and that his coming out is not a stunt.
