Yeah - giving in to "barbarian" forces is less finger-waggy and worthy of storytelling, I guess. I've seen everything from lead in wine to effeminate men to "decadence" blamed.

I had thought it was 3 weeks to a month (I recall asking this question before, but don't recall the exact answer). I know there was those two little kids buried in the rubble they pulled out alive...

I just mentioned him because he was associated with Nightwing-God, but I still like him. I just meant that Nightwing and godness was retconned in long after Dick Grayson took the title of Nightwing....

Which would be bad, but I specified as good as natural gestation.

We're already good at social classes - it's not the technology's fault and many technologies now commonplace (refrigeration,...

Before this thread, I didn't know no one liked Black Bat for Cass. I didn't read in that era, though, so don't know if there are some negative connotations there. I don't like Orphan, though.

But what you are saying is the absolute reverse of that. It makes a her a sidekick (or at least trainee) of Batman's instead of the peer she was when introduced. It's an inherently unequal...

I strongly agree.

That I do not like. I didn't like Batgirl: Year One (I don't like her as a protege, and I hate that she'd have been dead immediately if not for Batman). She was a grown woman,...

Yeah, it was bad. While I quit following JLU before the end, the DCAU was worse than this for me, actually, because of the Barbara thing. As much I hated the Bruce/Lois thing and was annoyed by the...

Of course, to be fair, that was a much late retcon that changed what Nightwing was on Krypton. Which was quite annoying. Though I liked Chris.

I just don't really agree. Being a hero because one...

I know what the word means. I'm just saying "the blitz" is the first thing that pops into my head when I hear "Blitz." The second thing is the term "quarterback blitz" but it's far more vague as I...

But we already have a Max Mercury. Too close to me.

I'd actually shy away from Greek or Amazon themed names for Cassie. I know it's not popular, but I don't even like her being Zeus' daughter (as...

I don't mind that, exactly. I do however, dislike it called hedonistic or that it would almost inevitably be portrayed as negative. Assuming we had artificial wombs that worked as well as human ones,...

In your ideal headcanon, how many children would Maxima have? And by how many fathers? If using natural gestation, women (at least those that generally have single births) may have to focus on...

I like that for Kon pretty well. Not entirely sure on Wallace, since I associate that with bombing, not speed, but it could work.

Flamebird for Barbara is probably a bad idea, since from a meta...

So I was just thinking about people I’d like to have new code names. And I can’t think of any good codenames, so I’m crowdsourcing. :) The Bat and Super families are particularly full of these. ...

I don't think I have a high horse - I was sharing my opinion, just like you did yours.

It's the fun part of controversial opinions. :cool:

I don't get that at all. I do hate sidekick (or even protege) Batgirl, but that was retconned onto Babs before Steph even became Batgirl, and in first era as Batgirl Steph overcame far more adversity...

I vote to eliminate Black Canary and Green Arrow

I have to acknowledge I prefer the gorillas being real gorillas that were changed via extraterrestrial origin, I do wonder about population numbers. Was it originally 19th century? How widespread...

I don't know how much we can go with canon, since most long-running characters have been depicted in various or even contradictory ways. And many will never get this old in canon.

But today I was...

It's more and more difficult to choose. I really like all the remaining couples a lot. I must, sadly, vote to eliminate Batman and Catwoman.

I don't want Barbara as Batgirl (she should be in her late 20s, at least, and too old to revert to a codename derived from another person and with "girl" in the title), but do want her unparalyzed, I...

It doesn't bother me to the same degree, exactly. I just find it symptomatic of the same attitude towards the character, and that is not a good thing to me.

I agree so much. It's is so frustrating how other Supers lose their individual things so they do what Clark did, have aspects of Clark, etc. I admit, she was created in a copyish era, but she at...
