COMICS: Flash Back To An Early 'Bruce Wayne' Mystery In Preview of BATMAN #44

I'm glad DC is moving away from a single universe and allowing multiple, disjointed stories to be told.

@LuisFcknLorenzo: This is the one thing I will actually give DC Comics credit for: it's not about continuity anymore. It's about the stories.

Fact is, I don't care if the events of Justice League happened at the same time as the events of Batman. I don't care how Superman losing his powers would affect his role on the team, or whether every book syncs up on every story properly. I care about reading good stories, well told.

DC cutting the ties between all of its books means they've cut the shackles on creators, who too often have been forced to change their own stories around because major characters were being put through stunts in other books. As long as those events don't have a direct impact on the story being told in the book you're reading, the big changes-- Robo-Batman and grizzled Superman, for instance-- shouldn't be forced on creators who don't want to use them, who may have their own tales to tell.

As long as the books make sense within themselves-- as long as Justice League follows the events of its previous issues through to their eventual repercussions, and the same for Batman and Superman and whatever else-- then I don't see what the problem is. And honestly, I'm sick of company-wide crossovers and tie-in months. Let the writers write the stories they WANT to, rather than the ones forced upon them.

@TheFox Indeed! My friend! I agree with that!

BW is totally a clone.

At least DC isn't acting like Marvel now-a-days where they're taking literally everything good about their comic characters and throwing it out. New Cap, new Thor, new Hulk, ass-hole Iron Man, CEO Spider-Man, no Fantastic Four, and X-Men in Space replaced by Inhumans... What?!?!?!?! I'm just glad I've got two good Justice League books, Post-Crisis Superman, and a pretty solid Batman book on the DC side of things. Plus they have Scooby-Doo Team-Up...
