"With that said, I feel like my main complaint with the stories is usually that he's bad at writing characters. But I love it when he does things that have pre-existing characters, like The Dark Knight. I love The Dark Knight, so I am confident that I'm probably not going to like The Odyssey aesthetically, but I feel like it'll be a fun one."
