DC reboots itself, again. Fanboys rage.
Tom:
I spent the entirety of Gates and Igle's run hoping they'd give her super pants. Oh well, at least they gave her bike shorts.
SirDudley:
Some notes regarding Gail Simone.
She's basically being forced into co-writing Firestorm and solo-writing Batgirl so she can still work at DC. Yeah, Secret Six and Birds of Prey got canned in order to force Gail to focus on Batgirl and Firestorm.
Fuck you, DC. FUCK. YOU.
Also, Rob Liefeld is handling the artwork for the Hawk and Dove reboot. Tremble in fear.

This is gonna require one major DCUO patch...

Or the game loses support, forcing us to buy the so-totally-upcoming DCnUO in order to forget anything about the old DC.
And this news gets worse. Y'all know Vertigo Comics, DC's little independent company that's ACTUALLY DOING GOOD AND WINNING AWARDS? DC has been taking a hacksaw to the company and slashing the staff and titles, but what's worse is that Vertigo's stuff are being ported to the DCnU, like John Constantine. I think that was mentioned above, but just in case, here's the short of it. John is now joining a super hero team called Justice League: Dark, focusing on magic-users. Anyone with an inkling of knowledge about Mr. Constantine will know how much of a BAD IDEA that is.
Seriously DC, you only care when your OWN NAME does good. If it's not "DC Comics" winning stuff, then nobody deserves to be happy, even YOUR OWN INTERNAL INDEPENDENT COMPANY THAT WINS AWARDS AND CRITICAL PRAISE.
Godammit, DC. I mean, this reboot is going to fail so hard at this point. You have older fans pissed at DC for destroying character history, Vertigo fans upset because their company is being used as a punching bag and now...you have 160 or so cover artists for this reboot, and ONLY 2 OF THEM ARE WOMEN (Gail Simone and someone else I don't know). Classy act, DC.
Me? I'm sticking with manga now. At least there is no chance of a giant reboot on the stuff I read.

She's one of the few (two?) exceptions, sadly.

At least it isn't the short skirt blowing in the breeze with her underwear showing for everyone to see. Not the best idea when your super hero can fly.
This is mostly hearsay and rumor, but my friend/local comic book dealer was at the bar at C2E2 with all the other big wigs. He said Dan Didio was going around asking everyone what 3 things they would like to right, but trying to keep the whole thing hush hush. From what I have heard Gail Simone actually wants to do Batgiril. Firestorm? No idea, but I like the concept. Why combine the two Firestorms into one, like they did recently in Brightest Day, instead of making them their own thing? Plus the concept of a super Firestorm makes my inner child all happy,
