Didio seems to have a mad-on against ALL of DC’s interesting characters that predate him being in charge. His decisions are a big part of the reason I don’t read DC comics anymore (except the “Secret Six” trades, which I’ve been checking out at the library).

As far as Booster is concerned, he’s been getting that since Dan Vado took over whichever JL book he was in, in the ’90s. He pretty much became DC’s whipping boy after that, which Dan Jurgens used as a story point early on in Booster’s second series.

(erm… in the mid-’90s I ran a Booster Gold fansite on AOL’s web “community,” and I still rankle over DC’s treatment of him after Keith Giffen stopped writing the Justice League titles.)

Really? I’ve read his “Legion of Super-Heroes” comics from the 60′s and ’70s, and some of his New Universe stuff from Marvel, and really enjoyed them. What’s he done lately?

I’ve been reading the “Secret Six” trades, and I totally agree that she should be in charge, as she seems to care more about DC’s characters than Didio does.

This. I feel exactly the same way about the new Tim Drake.

She’s still Kate’s cousin, and is currently recovering from a life-threatening injury she took while fighting alongside Batwoman. Not sure whether she’s going to keep the Flamebird name, or continue being a vigilante, but she’s one of a number of reasons why Batwoman is worth reading.

Okay now I feel like a senile idiot for completely forgetting about her in the prior series.

I should probably point out that my point about the Alan Scott thing is that an author can do whatever they want with a brand new character that no one has ever seen before – which Nu52 Alan is. He’s an entirely unrelated character to the previous character, save he has the same name and similar powers.

If a character looks different, acts different, has a different origin, a different history, and different powers, they’re effectively a completely separate character – regardless of name. Pick any three of the above and they’re still a different character.

This is why the news that “Alan Scott, Green Lantern who has been happily married for thirty years and has grown up kids is now suddenly gay” didn’t faze me – because that wasn’t true. The Alan Scott that I care about was killed off, murdered off-screen literally between panels in the time-changing event called “Flashpoint”.

Flashpoint was the biggest slaughter the DC Universe has ever seen.
