Any character you liked before 52 but now dislike?

Because the book still features Ivan Reis, Black Manta (and his righteous retribution

), and Mera (hopefully she turns on Arthur and stabs him in the back - if not literally

).

Apparently not. Aquaman currently is all about killing whether justified or not or maiming people just because you're stronger they are.

Well there are definitely a few things I like regarding the changes. Having Cyborg being placed as a founding member helped provided some much needed diversity to the
"founding members lily white crew and a alien.

But one character I didn't like changes was Billy Batson, as someone else who was adopted, I related to him a lot because even though we been through a lot, we came
out really nice kids trying to do the right thing, like giving homeless dudes quarters on the street if we had change when we were a kid, not this kid is a douche, reducing
the amount of "nice guy" heroes to even fewer. To be honest, the only one I can think of whose truly nice is Bunker.

I dunno... A character that had a popular cartoon show for years and a series that ran for 45 issues written and drawn so badly that the series crashed and burned in 8 issues?

I really wanted to like the book... Especially as Rozum is a brilliant writer. To bad they didn't actually let him, you know, write.

It's too early I know, but I'd like to save a spot here for Wally West. As long as they are committed to this new universe, one with virtually no legacy, any new take on Wally West is bound to disappoint.

At the moment I'm not too thrilled with Captain Comet's re-imagining. Don't care for the villainous twist they put on the character in the recent Action Comics.

**DebkoX** · 08-07-2012, 06:12 AM

Oh yes, and Kid flash.

Anyone on the Teen Titans.

Completely agree, but Kid Flash has been the worst. As I said earlier in the thread, I'd rather they turned around and said 'actually, it's been Inertia the whole time'. Not going to happen.

Are you sure? So why did the book failed so miserably?

"Any character you liked before DC52, but now dislike?"

LOL. Take a wild guess at my answer.

**Kurosawa** · 08-07-2012, 07:40 PM

I don't think it's fair to blame characters for how writers misuse them. If I like a character, I like them and disregard when they are treated badly. There are very few DC characters that I completely dislike.

I really only just got into DC with the New 52 but from what I've read/been reading Barbara Gordon was really cool and awesome before the reboot, but now she's just become another two-bit, average and in a crappy book vigilante. Then again if her book was good I'd be totally for it. The samething happened to Starfire but since her book is good, I don't really care and I'm enjoying the rebooted version of her.
