She effectively transformed them from two-dimensional figments of the imagination that could be considered and dismissed at will to three-dimensional people who readers could care about and love. Second, she created a world where these people were respected. They were allowed to grow and evolve in a manner that was true to their character and their essence, rather than forced and restricted into a role dictated by arbitrary mindsets or the latest fad."</span></i></p> <h2>Read the Newest Tale</h2> <p><b>Inside an Enigma</b>: Batman's enemies in Arkham and Ra's al Ghul rotting in an Atlantis jail.
