The recent emphasis on diverse characters such as lesbian superheroine Batwoman, Hispanic hero Blue Beetle and African-American adventurer Cyborg (who will be a core member of Johns and Lee's new Justice League) also will continue.
Obviously, DC has a different definition of "emphasis" than most of us do.
Maybe actually publishing a comic book starring Batwoman, Blue Beetle or Cyborg would help, as opposed to perpetually putting off Batwoman, cancelling Blue Beetle, and having Cyborg "star" in a series that is explicitly not in current DC reality.
(Or maybe if USA Today actually, you know, reported, rather than blindly passing along DC press releases as news...squawk, Polly want a cracker!)
I'm just sayin.'
They also have a strange definition of "adventurer". I mean, why is Batwoman a "superheroine", Blue Beetle a "hero" and Cyborg... an "adventurer"? I stubbed my toe on that one.
ReplyDeleteThey're so dedicated to diversity because they need to have a large stable of non-white characters so they can always have someone they can kill off.
ReplyDeleteAnd I give Vic Stone a year before they decide to drop a fridge on him and turn the comic into "Justice League of Honkey Douchebags."
