    what DO you like about the reboot?

    The fact that, apparently, it has brought a lot off attention/new readers to DC and the comic book world. That’s awesome.

    One of the few things that I’ve actually really liked about the New 52 (probably because a lot of the bat-verse remains the same as in the DCoU) has been Scott Snyder’s take on Batman and his supporting characters. This guy knows these characters and is taking them down roads that I, as a lifelong bat-family fan, really want to see them take. Snyder is such an awesome writer. I hope they keep him on these character for a long time.

    Mister Freeze has the potential to be Batman’s coolest villain and these panels are proof of that.

    I hate the fact that

    I can count on one hand the people working at DC who can accurately write Jason Todd and Tim Drake. They’re both complex characters, sure, but they aren’t by any means hard to write. As a writer, I know that as long as you do your homework there isn’t such a thing as a character that’s hard to write. And people who do have difficulty dealing with the characters their writing should probably think of switching fields. 

    Really this doesn’t just apply to Tim and Jason. I’m tired of seeing DC butcher all of their characters. They’ve used the ‘New 52’ as an excuse to take characters which have already been established and use them as a template for completely new characters. In my opinion, that’s as lazy as you can get. They should have followed Marvel’s lead with the Ultimate line and printed the New 52 as something occurring on another Earth (instead of using Flashpoint as an excuse to ’re-write’ the multi-verse. Again, lazy writing).

    Justice League #6

    Not a huge fan of the costume re-design, but The Phantom Stranger is still one of DC’s most baller characters. 

    I haven’t really read any further, but I really hope they don’t try and give him an origins story or something. A huge part of the character’s old-school charm is the huge cloud of mystery surrounding him.
