For what it's worth, I was head of CIA's Counter Terrorism Americas branch from 2007-2009. One of our responsibilities was assessing possible international terrorists threats coming across the U.S. southern border. In my opinion, the President's tweet below is racist bullshit.

Comics aren’t for everyone. Created by the children of immigrants, it is the medium of the outsider and the outcast, the nerd who won’t fit in. We exist, we thrive because we recognize and amplify the voices of those who must struggle mightily to be heard. We say, I’m here.

George Perez never went half way, in art or life. He pushed the limit of what a comic could do: his style was somehow, impossibly both overwhelmingly powerful and subtly graceful. He matched his passion for his trade with his passion for his fans and friends. RIP breaks my heart.

My pitch was that Dick would be recovering, learning to be himself again, while Tim took over the mantle of Nightwing. It would be a story of two brothers bonding, caring for each other in the shadow of the Bat. Dick would be back in 6-12 issues. They went another way.
