Alan Moore Donates Film and TV Royalties to Black Lives Matter, Criticizes Modern Superhero Media

  • Alan Moore has requested that DC Comics send all future royalties from adaptations of his work to Black Lives Matter instead of to him.
  • Moore has been critical of modern superhero films and TV shows, calling them "infantile" and worrying they promote fascism.
  • Moore believes the comics industry has changed for the worse, now marketing characters as "adult fare" and adapting old heroes rather than creating new stories.
  • Living a reclusive life in England, Moore distances himself from the comics world and now focuses on writing prose and fiction.
  • Moore feels past works of his like Watchmen may have unintentionally glamorized dark characters, contributing to harmful media trends.
