So does he shout "Transmute!" or "Bird ON!" as the wings pop out. (And I wonder who will be the first to remember where those terms came from)



Y'know, I think I like that look without the strap'n'crap of the full costume... Just throw in a utility belt and the R symbol and I could learn to like it a lot, alas, we're not going down that road...

But who is this?



Dramatic, if nothing else. Interesting that she now seems to have a transformation effect, does she slam her gauntlets together like Rick Jones/Mar-vell (or indeed, the Masterforce Headmaster Jr.'s ) or might she have some sort of illusion ability in her arsenal now?

And apparently the "Four Robin's in five years" won't actually the case (Sorry, but Steph as Robin is still out of continuity), as Batman and Robin(s) will have been operating covertly in Gotham for some years before Superman becomes the first superhuman to "go public" five years ago.

Morrison replying "I look great in a dress".

Seriously? Seriously? It's not bad enough that they diss their female characters, now we're on to mocking their female fans? You know, the ones who buy their f*cking comics with our female money... Assholes.

I'd be very interested to hear more.

This, to both comments.

And same here.

This is all second-hand stuff I've gotten from various comic book blogs, mostly Comics Alliance, but among other things, when a female fan asked Jim Lee why the female characters weren't prominent in the JLA group covers, he replied "Would you prefer if they were dead center or off-center on the covers" or something like that.

They're being very hostile towards their female fans and other fans who worry about these things, even though we have EVERY right to feel upset.

Also, Dan Didio claims that DC has the best percentage of starring female character in books. WHICH. IS. MISSING. THE. POINT.

The SAME POINT they are missing by implying that the Atom is going to be Ryan Choi again when a fan asked why there weren't any Asian characters.

And then when the same fan asked why DC doesn't hire more female creators, Didio says, GET THIS, something like "DC hires the best talent they can". Which, OF COURSE, implies that the huge crop of talent from female creators out there is not GOOD ENOUGH for grand old DC.

I'm sorry, because I know this was not the point of your post at all, but they're bringing Ryan Choi back?


GLEEEEEEEEEE. GLEE SO HARD.

I, WOULD, be happy, but it seems pretty obvious to me that the only reason they chose him over Ray was fill their DIVERSITY! quota of Asian characters.

Because, to DC, DIVERSITY! is not about creating role models, or more accurately reflecting our modern society, or creating strong, developed characters that aren't confined by the moralities of the Silver Age. No, to DC, Diversity is about tokenism, and quotas, and pretending to be progressive so you can get press.

I hadn't heard that even hinted at, but that actually cheers me up a bit.

in Morrison's defence i think he was just trying to defuse the situation. he actually has a lot of love for the female characters, He loves Bryan's Batgirl series, and has loved Spoiler and Cassandra for a long time. also really LOVES Oracle. so I think he had good intentions, just very poor choice in that moment.

Lee on the otherhand, I think he was "trying to be funny" and it came off oas very flippant
