Because...

a) their stories are subpar and are driven in a boardroom with a page of check boxes
b) they are targeting stories for a super limited fan base
c) they have alienated their old fans...

I don't think it's will, it's that Warner / DC don't want the repercussion of reverting back. They don't want to be seen as a company that is not progressive or labelled homophobic. On the other...

Well it does... and once a character's core is irrevocably changed, it can never be undone as Warner would not the outrage

Forgive me for being jaded and blunt but this is such a PR Media stunt by DC.

Maybe if it was Superman or Batman, that would be something, opposed to an almost forgotten golden age character....

Like Black Adam, Tynion had to justify Peter Parker... errr... Khalid as Dr Fate by a cheap death. Sabbac was just a cheaper version of The Upside Down Man. Either way, Kent Nelson is gone forever...

No, Levitz pretty much ignored anything Dr Fate prior to his series. Geoff Johns made Kent Nelson the primary Dr Fate in Rebirth (ignored the Levitz series) and this character would have been part of...

The 2015 Dr Fate series was a piece of garbage from a writer that should have retired a long time ago. The series ignored everything that came before and Nabu a "computer" construct? WTF? Khalid was...

I'll probably get deleted from CBR but Kent Nelson is NEVER coming back. He's been replaced by a diversity character and DC don't want that flack as they see themselves as progressive. Paul Levtiz...

Uhm... so does he still have a weakness for wood? ;)

Can DC please return Kent Nelson as Doc Fate. The walking cliche of Khalid Nassour and his link to fate is tentative at best. UGH! :(

Wasn't Geoff an enabler on the set of the Whedon Justice League?

If it was Khalid Ben-Hassin from Earth 2, I would say yes in a heart beat! Khalid Nassour is a poor substitute of Kyle Rayner. Paul Levitz had no idea how to write a 20-something young Muslim and yes...

Well, the character Doctor Fate is not Egyptian and the the "origin" story was in Mesopotamia with Nabu being based on the Babylonian god of wisdom, then shortly disclosing he was an alien... Just...

Something fun and different! Air your DCU grievances here.

A BIG F-U to DC for still not having an ongoing Justice Society series! It's 2022 god damn it!

In a perfect world yes but Kent Nelson is too "white bread". And yes, Khalid and Kent could have co-existed but not according to world of Ram V.

And yes, Kent Nelson will die in the Black Adam...

Unfortunately DC or their masters just use tokenism. Why make a third-tier character gay just to score some points with social media? Ideally it would be Batman as bi-sexual or Superman as gay? Of...

Sounds like the 80's all over ;)

Awesome more Fun comics! :)

During the extreme years of DC where they wanted to be Image, DC killed off Doctor Fate's hosts Kent and Inza Nelson in Fate #0 (1994). Fast forward 22-years and Geoff Johns returned Kent Nelson in...

I think he's too "white bread" … blonde, blue eyes, 1/2 American and 1/2 Swedish... will never work ;)
