1. RIP Dennis O'Neil (1939-2020), who is basically responsible for giving the world Batman as we know the character today.https://twitter.com/MidnighterBae/status/1271478013109166081 …

3. More broadly, O'Neil (again working with Neal Adams) brought the politics of the 1960s/1970s into superhero comics in a way that was rare at the time -- not always successfully but certainly memorably.pic.twitter.com/AKS5qo6K6S

4. I don't think any of the later iterations of Batman -- Frank Miller's Dark Knight, Moore's Killing Joke, the Burton and Nolen movies -- would have been possible without O'Neil's work (Miller, in particular, was O'Neil's protege). So he left a large footprint.
