DC reboots itself, again. Fanboys rage.

Tom:
To be fair, DD lost his sight in the same accident that gave him powers (DD's echolocation is a legit superpower).

Pretty much what I was trying to say. Doing something like that is like a giant fuck you to the fans. Thats why I like the likes of Daredevil, who have taken their disability and provided to be successful despite it. Just making the character "normal" again is like saying you think they're a freak because of a disability, and that they cannot do things properly.

Daredevil lost "normal" sight and gained an echolocation superpower that is superior to that sight in every way. Barbara Gordon got shot in the spine and had to reinvent her role in the superhero community (though saying the only reason she became Oracle was because she was crippled is patronizing as well, she could have very well developed her information network on her own as a perfectly healthy Batgirl--and probably will if this reboot holds).

TheEvilDog:
Barbara Gordon is also an expert in the eskrima martial art, which I'm sure she learned after she was paralysed, but thats beside the point. And I'm sure both characters had to learn to deal with the change in their lives.

That said, yay for my company's of choice refusal to change the continuity every decade (they just make characters act wildly out of character)

TheEvilDog:
Oh, and I thought people might want to have a look at these, just because we all know comics are meant to be enjoyed.

Where's my money, honey?

Blyss:
When the hell did Grifter become a DC character?

Last I knew, he was an Image character - from the TEAM 7 days.

What.The.Hell?
