DC reboots itself, again. Fanboys rage.

That's another thing I do not like. Oracle was a much better character then Bat-girl ever was. Instead of just being the female version of Batman (well a better female version), she was someone that the JLA and damn near every super hero would turn to for information. Hell, she was pretty much the entire focal point for Birds of Prey.

On top of that, Oracle was one of the very few disabled super heroes/heroines in ALL of comics period. And now?
DC: "What? You grew up with Barbara Gordon in a wheelchair acting as an information broker and being a symbol for disabled people? Fuck you, she's Batgirl again! Because!"
Kugai:
Add "So there! Nyah!!" to that and it'd be more accurate.
[edit] Hmmmm - So I'm on the rails now. Heh! [/edit]
SirDudley:
In other reboot news I linked to above, The Authority is joining the DCnU. Well, at least Apollo and Midnighter are. And Martian Manhunter is teaming up with them to form a new version of Stormwatch.
Let's hope the reboot madness doesn't break up Apollo and Midnighter. Unless DC wants even more fanrage(tm) hurled at them.
Tom:
Paul Cornell, to my tremendous relief had this to say:
--- Quote ---That's Apollo, The Midnighter and, hey, the Martian Manhunter on the lovely cover to issue one. I can say very little else so far except that Apollo is also in the book, as are other characters, old and new, and yes, Apollo and The Midnighter remain out and proud. It's going to be a very exciting book, and, put together with Demon Knights, I think I've found a new playground I'm very happy with. More as the release date approaches, obviously.

Blue Kitty:
Also The King of Cities is in it too. Not a big fan of Apollo's and Midnighter's new looks.
Another sort of thing, rumor is that there is a mandate to give female costumes pants. I, for one, find this ok, especially on Supergirl.
