The problem, broadly speaking, with current year storytelling is the entire concept of *representation*.

What is *representation* as it relates to CSJ (Critical Social Justice)? Well, it means that characters cannot simply *exist* as individuals. Instead, they *must* represent an entire arbitrarily determined group.

Because characters *must* represent giant arbitrary groups, they *cannot* be well fleshed out, with flaws, nuance or any kind of real journey.

Characters and stories are terrible because they exist downstream from CSJ totalitarian thinking.

I guarantee this isn't for some representation clout, there was some meeting at DC where a bunch of people got together and said "What awful thing could we do to one of our characters that would make the news?"

Then some other person said "How about we make the Joker pregnant" and they all agreed and then an underpaid writing intern needs to make a story around that.
