Date: 2011-11-20 07:36 am (UTC)If DC was going to go full on-reboot (which I think they should have even if a lot of characters and every Robin but Dick would be gone) then they could have gotten away with this 5 year timeline. But as it is now they want the readers to believe that all these people (both heroes and villains) have established relationships/only been active in the last 5 years and pretty much everybody is under 30. Which is untenable. It's difficult enough to swallow that Barbara Gordon is now supposed to be in the same age group as Cass Cain and Tim Drake.

And then there's the mid-teens, Robin, Wonder Girl, etc.
(and then Damian, the only one to have his own different age)

Date: 2011-11-19 05:53 pm (UTC)Why are they even doing this? Yeah in the DCnU superheroes have only been active for 5 years, but I thought it was established that Batman and the Earthbased GL's had been operating for at least 5 years before that. Why are they compressing their timelines?

Dick certainly seems to be doing a lot of travelling so far in this book. Planes, trains, what's next? It's almost a John Hughes movie.

Date: 2011-11-19 11:49 pm (UTC)Maybe they do want to erase all that history, to make Master Damien Wayne the One True Son.
Also, I'm having a hard time picturing 16- or 17-year old Dick agreeing to wear the manties. When he'd had that costume forever, and still had it at that age, it was almost understandable. But this? No.

Date: 2011-11-20 08:15 am (UTC)I'm also finding his new personality to be a Peter Parker retread, and it's bumming me out. I miss the older, calmer, more focused Dick Grayson, and this backwards sprint they have the character in is... sad.
I am pretty sure Higgins has better ideas than this, but is constrained by some editorial handcuffs. Still. Disappointing.
