I don’t really understand what’s going on with DC Comics. They cancelled four underperforming comics series such as Nightwing, Robin, Birds of Prey and Catwoman, and then put all the characters from these series back into the original Batman comic series that spawned them. Only: there’s no Batman. The single most popular character in the DC Universe is dead. Let’s say you like Coca-Cola. You like drinking Coca-Cola. So what does the Coca-Cola company do? They force all these other flavours on you like Vanilla Coke, Coke with Lime, etc., and what happens to good old Coca-Cola? It’s replaced by New Coke. People don’t like New Coke. They like the old Coke. So they bring back the old Coke, call it Coca-Cola Classic. It’s the same with Batman. You know there’s a 100% chance old Batman is going to be brought back to life through the miracle of bullshit. No one’s so retarded as to throw out their licence to print money, coupled with the fact that currently the Batman family comics are completely overrun with characters who were completely dead, such as Spoiler, and are now magically alive, despite the fact that the writers who killed off her, and others like her, eft no wiggle-room to bring her back.
This has all happened before. Remember when they killed off Superman? Do you remember how huge a story that was? People were pissed OFF. Teachers were talking about it in schools. Those comics were worth CASH money. This time: did you even know Batman was dead? Can you name who killed him? Did it make any sense? Is he even dead, or is he a caveman?
Superman was briefly replaced by a group of imposters/impersonators (there’s a difference). The same thing’s happening with Batman. This will go on for a few months until DC looks at how much money they’re losing and then give up and bring original Batman back.
