This week on Q Con the Podcast, we’re talking with Meghan Fitzmartin — comic book writer, TV writer, and all-around storyteller. Meghan takes us through her journey from working in the Supernatural writers’ room to shaping the future of Gotham City in comics like Tim Drake: Robin, Dark Crisis: Young Justice, and Batman: Urban Legends.
We get into what it meant to write Tim Drake’s coming-out story, how she’s carving out new spaces like Gotham Marina, and why queer stories belong right at the heart of superhero mythologies. Plus, we talk about finding hope in heroes and how growing up with comics and TV shaped the stories Meghan tells today.
If you love big feelings, bigger battles, and queering up Gotham one page at a time, you’re going to want to hear this one.
Q Con 2025 is an LGBTQIA+ comic book and pop culture convention happening on May 3rd, 2025, at Fiesta Hall in Plummer Park, West Hollywood, CA.
