From the DC Nation pannel

Will Doiby Dickles appear in "Blackest Night?" "Who?" [Senior Story Editor Ian ] Sattler asked. No one on the panel appeared to know about the character, but a fan explained that he was the Golden Age Green Lantern's sidekick.

Hell, I can name what's wrong with DC in one sentence:

Hal Jordan, Green Lantern.

*Gasp* they don't remember completely forgettable characters that may not even be in continuity anymore!

A side note of equal non-importance, remember when pace salsa commercials always ended with the lynching of the guy using new york salsa?

Doiby is in continuity. In general, the Golden Age material is considered Earth-new canon, unless it's specifically contradicted, and he's been referred to off-and-on since. (I believe he showed up in Peter David's Young Justice.)

Not that I think that it matters in the slightest that DC editors don't know who he is. Of the characteristics and attributes that are useful or needed for performing their job, identifying Golden Age Green Lantern characters is tied for eight millionth.

Dc comics is fine.

I'd say it was less the rampage than the resolution; 'It wasn't me guys... a wizard did it!' Well, actually a magical yellow fear demon from the dawn of time, but you get the gist. Hal has all the depth of a kiddie wading pool. With all the interesting stories they could be telling about the other three human lanterns, or the many alien worlds and species encountered by the GL Corps, we get this guy as the star? Meh.

no, what's sad is that you're proud to be a fanboy.

and one of Green Lantern to boot.

sorry, but I can dispense the insults too.

pretty much summed it up, for me InSovietRussia. Good job!

Yeah because we have not been seeing anything out of Kyle and Guy lately or any alien worlds and species......Oh wait we have in a book called Green Lantern Corps. Guess maybe you didn't see that book since it has only been going for about 3 or so years now. :rolleyes:

Mister Blisterfists · 08-09-2009, 02:35 AM

Yeah, being sidelined into a spinoff book is really getting your due :rolleyes:

There's a reason The Murderer has been replaced three times. And it ain't because he's a compelling character.

So, do you mean DC's problm is that their guys can't remember 60 years out of date stories, or that they have fans who can?

At some point you need to let go of these truely bad stories from decades ago, and move on.

Mister Blisterfists · 08-09-2009, 03:20 AM

I won't call him by name if I can help it. He IS a sociopath in his world, and he did kill multiple people. That makes him a Murderer.

by your logic, Fictional characters can't be test pilots either.

and I'll move on when there's a Green Lantern WORTHY of the name back in the regular title. If it weren't for people clinging to decade old stories, you wouldn't even HAVE the sociopath back, so don't tell me to do something the rest of the fandom isn't willing to do, or accept themselves.
