YMMV / Scott Snyder

• Only the Author Can Save Them Now: His work over at DC Comics reeks of this trope, mostly in his Batman and Justice League (2018) stories. In those stories, the villains are always 5 steps ahead of the heroes, who are always struggling to catch up or straight-up lagging behind and the end of the story, the heroes only save the day by some one last-minute miracle.
