Does it mean he won’t be allowed to take any more risks without being skinned alive by critics and fans alike?

I did like the Aaron Sorkin joke that Alex made in Runaways, telling the team to walk fast and talk fast.

Unless Wildstorm demands that he put the politics and heroics of Ex Machina aside in favor of romance, he probably won’t have the same problems as Sorkin has had. I think Jim Lee would rather throw his pencils in the wood chipper than do that.
