Chloe Sullivan, welcome to the DC Universe

September 21st, 2010

Damn, she looks upset.

As DC announced back at San Diego, Jimmy Olsen will be the co-feature in Action Comics (written byNick Spencer and artist R.B. Silva) and will be aided by Chloe Sullivan. Well, the Source finally revealed Chloe to the masses and I’m confused by something: while this has similar features to Allison Mack, why would you want to make a character whose niche was gadgets and gizmos, just another reporter?

“It’s a pretty different continuity, which I think has always been the challenging part of bringing Chloe into the DC Comics Universe,” Spencer told TV Guide. “She’s never existed in the comics before, so in order to make a part of Clark’s life when he was a teenager in Smallville, you’d have to do it somewhat retroactively, and it would age Chloe as a character a lot, since Superman is well past that part of his life in the books.”

Oh. I gotcha. Works for me.

So readers, what do you think of the introduction of Ms. Sullivan?

    Give it a chance, or have you read her first few appearances? Besides, wasn’t she a reporter in the early Smallvilles, on the school paper?

    @Martin, yeah my thought was that Chloe started out as a reporter on the Smallville Torch with plans of majoring in journalism.

    She also went to work at the Daily Planet in college while adding tech experience along the way as plots needed it.

    So this is a good early-Chloe being brought into DCU.
