Date: 2012-03-21 04:13 pm (UTC)I recall the video sleeves that used to gather dust in the local video hire stores, and a rather elaborate tattoo on the protagonist (again from pictures on the videos), but as I never felt interested enough to watch it, that's about it.

Oh look, he's covered with yakuza tattoos as well. Brb, I have a new obsession to foster.

Date: 2012-03-21 06:02 pm (UTC)See, the thing is I want to like Gail Simone's Batgirl, I really do, but I don't and I feel guilty about it.
It just seems so... forced. If it was a straight reboot and Barbara was never paralysed it'd be better than the situation that they'd stuck the comic in, where they've burnt through two perfectly good Batgirls which are just sat around gathering dust somewhere while they go back to a current model who, as per Editorial Mandate, seems to be barely holding it together for several pages at a time.

Date: 2012-03-21 06:56 pm (UTC)Then we have the infamous Cassandra Cain case (AGAIN!) back in 2009 where in print Dan Didio stated there were "big plans" in 2010 for Cassandra Cain. When asked I believe Bryan Miller also said that Cass would not be in his Batgirl run because there were "plans" for her. Fast foward a year where Cass NEVER appeared in a DC comic except in flashback cameos and we learn from FabNic that when he asked about using Cass for Red Robin, Editorial had no problem because they had NO current "plans" for her.
I really wish it was the Editors (Harras, Didio/Lee, Marts) who were asked more directly about this since I really do believe that the writers at DC have very little clue about what Editorial is doing long-term (which has proven to be the case already in several "new 52" titles). Even George Perez left Superman because he disagreed with the "direction" DC wanted to go - they must have told him something different when he first went on the book (witness the complete disappearance of Lois Lane's new highly publicized - complete with press release - "hunky" boyfriend after just one issue).

Date: 2012-03-21 09:33 pm (UTC)Like all the changes to the Amazons and Wonder Woman. If you're making Diana a child of Zeus, why not just have it always be the way?
And with this one, why do we keep needing it hammered in? Isn't this supposed to be for new readers?

So, it's actually her decision.

Date: 2012-03-21 09:53 pm (UTC)Because if Gail is making the decision, it's just another item on the list of recent decisions that she has made that I fundamentally disagree with.
At least if it was editorial we could blame them. But Gail is Gail, and for the longest time she responded really well to fans.
