For all the haters, Death of the Family? Come on! Snyder this, Snyder that..This guy has written, what exactly? A batbook about some owls and some vampire that can go out in the sun, woo hoo!

Now talk about overrated. Snyder is so boring and slow moving you could skip every other issue and not miss a beat of what’s going on. Honestly, his owl book was about 5 issues too long.

Damn Morrison for trying something new with the character? Please. Fresh batman, fresh Superman. What about Seven Soldiers? Amazing! Did ya’ll not catch that one either?

Morrison’s books aren’t really burning up the charts. His Batman Inc sells about half that of Snyder’s book. Action isn’t even in the top 10. I can’t imagine his billing rates would have gone down, so from an ROI perspective, there are much better choices out there for DC

The problem with Superman comics is that they cannot capture the epic nature of the character in the way that movies can. DC came close in the Death of Superman arc way back when. I think Superman has been disappointing since the new 52 commenced.

face facts: the new 52 has been fraught with error and a distinct lack of stewardship from the very beginning. DC gets away with it because, ultimately, you hand them money for every mistake the make in story telling or the handling of talent.

so … go you?

BTW, two writers that might make me read it – Warren Ellis (it’d be a fascinating book and I’m curious to see if he could do it) and Neil Gaiman (not bloody likely)

1. Dan Didio – Reduce his stupid story ideas and influence on the direction of the DC universe.

2. Geoff Johns – Reduce his influence and stranglehold on the DC universe with his idiotic, derivative and ridiculoud rainbow brite Green Lantern plots.

3. Jim Lee – Back to do what he does best, DRAW, instead of video game design or whatever dumb deal, Old DC Comics agreed to in order to lure him over, including having to buy his snorefest Wildstorm.

4. Grant Morrison – This hack has got to go. He’s no genius. All he does is take old popular storylines and trying to make them his own. If he’s so great, then how come he’s always working on popular and sure-hit properties?? There are other younger and more talented people people out there, i.e., Scott Snyder, who’s doing a fantastic work on Batman.

Bravo DC! It’s a great idea to nullify those ridiculous tittles and promotions Didio, Johns and Lee got. This is a brand new day for a brand new company indeed!

I think it could actually fill the void left by JLI. Sure all the characters are Batman themed, but I kinda dig the idea of this group of international heros. They could do an arc in Africa with Batwing, an Arc in England with Knight and Squire, an arc in Australia with Dark Ranger, an arc in Japan with Batman of Japan. Then bring them all together for an uber arc.

I know this is kind of what Grant has alredy done, but I think there’s enough there for characters to continue

I wouldnt want him back anyway . Even if i liked part of his X-men run , and even if some of of his brillaint ideas helped shape the current x-men (mostly against his will) … i dont see how any of the two brands and their universe should remain slaves of his dictates .

Coming into a unfinished franchise , being given carte blanche to throw everything you want away , and being angry when likewise the same is done after you , is an unwanted and quite not needed prima donna act .

I dont care how talented you are , if you wanna be the only one in control , create your own stuff and stay away from Dc or MArvel franchise that are supposed to exists decades after you are gone .
