How many days has it been since DC last did something stupid, lets check:

http://www.hasdcdonesomethingstupidtoday.com/

Almost a month.

That long?

There's a similar counter for Marvel but it hasn't been updated in months. I think the Outhousers may be a bit biased... then again, DC has been doing stupid shit on a regular basis since Dan Didio took office.

I swear Didio is only kept around for the pun value of his name. DC is seriously stupid right now. I say that as a former DC fangirl too. Now if I pick up a comic it's a Marvel title or 2000AD and not DC. I don't know what would get me back to reading DC now. Okay, that's a lie. It would be a Batfamily makeover. Bring back Damien, make Robin Steph again, cripple Babs and stick her infront of a computer, and lets have a Batwoman gay marriage.

Of course marvel has just done Something Stupid too with its X-Men title. God but I hate Captain Boring.

I'm kind of glad Damien is gone, I never really liked him much and Grant Morrison kind of always planned for him to die.

I'm of two minds about Babs getting uncrippled. I love that she was rescued from being thrust into useless obscurity and made into a breakout disability superhero -- most of my exposure to Babs has been with her as Oracle. I'm glad to see her back in the saddle again as Batgirl, but I strongly question the way they went about it. The 2011 reboot would have been a decent excuse to erase the whole Killing Joke fiasco from continuity entirely (I like TKJ but that's in spite of what they did to Babs) and possibly have avoided any controversy over Babs being ~MAGICALLY UNCRIPPLED~ (ugh.)

I thought the Killing Joke worked well with her being cripped. It was a footnote in someone else's story. That is what happens to most of the folks who get put in wheelchairs in the real world. Some fucking asshole is too busy concentrating on his fucking life, and making everything all about him and stops paying attention and then you have to live with the effects of his mistakes. That is how most people end up in a wheelchair if it isn't congenital or old age. That they created this character that actually resonated with real world experiences and still made it into the superhero clubhouse, that was DC's moment. Then they told wheelchair users to fuck off as they didn't want dirty cripps reading their comics. Assholes.

I like your take on it, but I honestly think your view is colored by what Babs eventually became. It was pretty clear to me that DC had no intention of doing anything with her until Kim Yale and John Ostrander decided to rescue her from obscurity and redevelop her.

Yeah that's probably true, but undoing what she eventually became was worse. It's like some smoke and mirrors medieval alchemist actually managed to create real gold during his conact then turned the gold into a cat turd on purpose. Oracle was really the one and only thing DC had over Marvel. They almost got some of that back with the Batwoman wedding, but we know how that worked out.

How did that work out pray tell?

It didn't. And to avoid being called on their homophobia DC retroactively annulled every single marriage in all their books.

WHAT?!

No marriages, period. If they were married, they aren't now.
