Am I the only one puzzled/bothered by the fact that Firestorm, due to the re-assimilation of Ronnie Raymond and the death of Gehenna, now appears phenotypically Caucasian again?
I saw this as a pretty unnecessary change. I mean, it's nice that they kept Jason Rusch's costume design... but why does the white guy immediately get to "drive" now that he's back?

I never squabble. I debate respectfully. Then say "Oh, sap!" at the end of it. Originally Posted by Lupek

There was that whole "New black Firestorm relaunch" thing back in 2004. Originally Posted by thwhtGuardian

Maybe they'll switch back and forth...

It wasn't Ronnie. It was the Black Lantern ring animating his corpse. Who hasn't had that happen? Originally Posted by Apathy Lad

When Firestorm inevitably shows up in Brightest Day, you can bet the interaction between Ronnie and Jason will amount to; Originally Posted by Electric Version

Oh, without a doubt. Maybe they can make Firestorm a light mocha color. The color Ronnie and Jason's kids would be. Originally Posted by Apathy Lad

Huh. Somehow I missed previously the subtle costume redesign on Martian Manhunter. Works well. (Besides the whole no-pointy-head thing, I mean. Long pants, gem thingie in the middle of the halter, etc)
As for Firestorm, I'd like it if when (and if) they switch back and forth between who's in the driver's seat, Firestorm changes to reflect that.OzBat!
