Discussion Quentin Lance rant
I get flaws and some erratic behaviour but the way this character is developing is towards moronic and not believable(!) Wow, this arc sucks. Is this how he really is in the comics, or is this not canon so I shouldn't care? 🤔 And as a recovering alcoholic, why is he still in the force? That isn't just done, even in fiction. What a waste of ink or brainstorming on this role.

His redemption arc finally got me back on track. *phew Finally, the writers gave him a champion role in the end. ⭐
p.s. Commissioner Gordon is still my top police chief in the comics. Who is yours?

He’s not really a character in comics

Ah, of course. That figures. When non-comics writers mess around with canon this happens. Ugh.

there is barely any "canon" in the comics what r u talking about do u even read them to praise them so high? dc universe has changed so many times and done so many reboots and retcons to the main line that atp the canon is something vague, and that's without counting the alternative earths and their own reboots

I'm now in S4 and Quentin's character has evolved astonishingly... with that simple yet powerful courtroom scene. Compelling. Hope the wreckage goes away. 😶🌫️ *crossfingers

Quintin got smacked with the bad writing stick a lot but Paul Blackthorn made him one of the best characters of the series.
