IGN has a preview of Red Hood and the Outlaws #0

One scan under the cut...

And I have to ask this....



Are there ANY women over the age of 30 in the DCnU?



THAT'S Dr Leslie Thompkins? Remember when she was a handsome (rather than pretty), kick-ass, woman in her 50's with short hair? Yeah, me too... (Heck, I remember when she was a sweet little old lady in her 70's who just happened to have been the first person to show the newly orphaned Bruce kindness, the night his parents died)

Is there some sort of Logan's Run age limit on women in the new DCU or something? When they hit 35 they evaporate or something? (Amanda Waller de-aged, Ma Kent no longer around... no JSA members around the place)

The rest of the preview can be seen here, can't say I'm overly impressed.

Sigh, DEFINITELY time to start digging out an "Accentuate the Positive" post, for me if not for you foiks....

MTE. You know I held on because Jason's my favorite characters but there's very little recognizable about him at all by this point. There's a world of difference between a kid who had the guts to try and steal from Batman and a kid who stole drugs from a woman who was helping him. And there's a world of difference between Batman deciding to take him in because of said guts and Batman chasing him around, shoving him into a car and only taking him in because Leslie talked him into it. Not to mention Alfred being a dick. At this point I'm ignoring anything Lobdell touches.

What, you don't like Alfred Pennyworth giving his best deadpan dickface and spouting a sarcastic one-liner at the prospect of a deprived orphan coming to live with them? And the implication being that he said this *in front of* said orphan?

Why ever not?
