I get why they let Didio write books when he was an executive and he was technically a writer before all that but I don't get why he's still working now. He's not Paul Levitz; he doesn't seem to have much of a fan following.
Also, I quite like both characters in question but ...
Dick - a character that is second only to Superman in terms of inspiring other heroes - can only unite the heroes by dying. I'm also a little fuzzy on how Dick's death would have prevented Final Crisis or Flashpoint because I'm not sure how much influence Nightwing has on Darkseid or Barry's decision-making process.
As mean-spirted as this was toward Dick, it almost feels meaner towards Conner. In the time since Infinite Crisis, Conner has died at least twice, been erased from existence (or at least overwritten by his Nuu52 counterpoint), been replaced by Jon, lost in the Multiverse, and recently got a mini about how he feels unneeded.
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
