I honestly disagree. I think Diana is pretty capable herself (even moreso than Lois), and that they'd be a good couple. Even if they got their own book, the Superman Batman book paved the way for it with some heavy bromance.

or worse yet, they make all the characters these new age, I'm okay, you're okay, metro Nancy pants heroes. sneer
Jebus, I still don't know why DC couldn't just use existing characters/continuity, and retool them here and there as needed..? It seems like youthing all of the characters across the board, and turning back the dials of continuity by several years, is complete overkill. Make the changes you need to, and leave everything else alone.
Stoopid writers. sly
DC/Time Warner: We are rebooting the DC Universe!
Spire: Hahaha... really?
DC/Time Warner: Yeah! So now people like carver9 will totally buy our books!
Spire: They don't care.
DC/Time Warner: Well... we still have our fanbase!
Spire: Yeah, not interested.
DC/Time Warner: Hmm... I guess we should have fired everyone and hired editors and creators that actually understand the characters they are being payed to write and edit instead of handing our properties over to hotshit writers that shit out shitty stories.
Spire: 👆

If things were to always stay the same, the industry would be dead. By starting over (some characters), creates a fresh atmosphere. It seems with the new creators/books, DC is doing just that. This will give DC a chance to bring in new blood.
You can still have newer books in a separate universe while having the mainstay ne universe.
I personally don't want to see a younger Superman, Batman and to forget all of the events of recent years such as sc, blackest night, etc. to appease a more generalized audience.
I know opinions vary but I absolutely cannot stand this idea and creating great stories will always attract fans not starting things over again.
Originally posted by quanchi112I don't see how rebooting continuity from this point forward detracts from already created stories. You reference sinestro corps, blackest night, etc. Those stories already exist, they're not going anywhere.

People criticize DC for the constant reboots, but I see it as a good thing. I feel like it helps keep the industry fresh. Comics, moreso than almost any other medium, get bogged down under their own weight. It's not a good thing for a company when they deter new customers by the sheer amount of volume they have. Fresh universe, fresh ideas, etc.
I loved the Ultimate universe. Had they capped of Marvel 616, and created the Ultimate universe as a reboot, it would have been even better (or, realistically, maybe worse as Bendis would have replaced Millar, etc. but when Morrison is paving the way, no worries on that front).
Originally posted by ExistereThey do still exist granted but I want these same characters to experience new threats and to expand on the immense dcu. I don't like remake movies either. It's just one more way for a company to milk a franchise without being creative on their own.

I just don't like starting over. The new mk was a reboot so to speak but everything that had happened in the past still occurred. They thought of an interesting way to still have these events in continuity while at the same time redoing the beginning.
I also am not even a big fan of devil may cry but they are also redoing dante. I just can't stand starting over it's almost like the creative minds are saying we give up, we know it's a profitable franchise/character so let's start over and milk it for all it's worth.
I see what you are saying but I'm a sucker continuity and building not scrapping things every twenty or so years in an entirely new direction.
I know my opinion is just my own but I have a feeling this will generally appeal to more casual fans than hardcore comic fans anyways.
Yes!! According to Bleeding Cool, Wildstorm will be integrated in the DCU. And a possible Grifter series! Woot!
