Two Reasons The New 52 Is Disliked

If people have problems with these two things then they need to get over themselves. What was is not as important as what is. I've been reading quite a few different series since the launch of The New 52 and I've been confused by nothing. Now, if you just weren't happy with the writing, then that's another issue all together, but to nt like t because you are clinging to something that has changed then I don't know what to tell you. Open your mind a bit. All those older comics are still there to be read. Of those examples you gave, only the absence of WAlly and Donna are things I would understand if people weren't happy about and they still might pop up sometime. You don't know.

I posted my problems with the New 52 a couple days ago. These are the obvious problems, that I don't blame someone for having; from the smaller changes to the big ones.

But we should look at the people like batmanmovie2012; If The New 52 got new readers thats a good thing. No way around that simple fact.

@Tainted...dude, you're a dick! I kept poking at my screen trying to kill the gnat! LOL Anyway, I haven't picked up any of the new 52. I haven't seen anything that looks interesting enough to read them. I'm more a Marvel guy anyway, but I like some DC stuff too. Looks like we'll be headed for a whole new frickin "Crisis" in the next couple of years to fix this [frick] up of continutiy!

My problem with the new 52 is that they didn't reboot wholesale on Hawkman for some reason and Superman of all titles is still weak. Superman is the new Aquaman, I don't think the time gap between Action Comics and Superman helps either

Good article. @everyone who disagrees, it's an editorial, take it easy!

Wow, I have no idea how long this has been up but after reading I need to say Damn! I will Make myself the bad guy in my statement that the new 52 is to the DCU what apartheid was to Africa. It took beloved characters and didn't take a new take on them but made them completely different characters. The JSA was never meant to be young and hip. Hell they weren't young and hip when they were conceived. The lived through a hard time (WWII) in American history and brought to the modern heroes the wisdom of ages. They were mentors to those who sought out help. As for the Alan Scott being gay thing, that is the epitome of Hero by name only. He was mad gay and his daughter and gay son were washed away. Being that Blackest night happened still and Jade was a Huge challenge for Kyle... I'd love to know how his being gay supports continuity at all. It seems to me a gay character can't stand on his own to feet ( Marvels North Star excluded) With out the rich history of a character who has been straight since the golden age of comics. Also back to blackest night The Cyborg superman a member of the sinestro corps took part. How can this be when we have a superman that never died never spawning off the cybernetic madman? Half the black lanterns never even existed in the new 52. Yet the blackest night still transpired? I understand the noob comic readers defending their self righteous claim to the New 52, but be real, insulting the long time readers and fans to appease some trend readers who will be off with a new hobby in a few months is just insulting. I read the Red Lanterns only because as far as I've gotten it is in no way linked to any other book ( except the also drastically unchanged gl titles) and in my opinion even that book is coming up short. They made harley quinns outfit uber slutty while down playing the stripper appeal of power girls prior? Harley was never meant to be bimbo'ed out. That is my rant for all the keyboard warriors out there.

Peace
