    https://www.bleedingcool.com/2018/05...man-marriages/

    There's no way they're that stupid. Marvel has taken nothing but flack when they tried to get rid of their marriages. There's no way DC can think that this would be any better received. Especially not since they've built up so much goodwill with the fans for bringing BACK so many classic elements through Rebirth.
    Though much is taken, much abides; and though
    We are not now that strength which in old days
    Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are,
    One equal temper of heroic hearts,
    Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
    To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

    --Lord Alfred Tennyson--

    DC has just started to allow their major heroes to get married again, so I hope this isn't true.

    I have to agree with these marriages being undone. Batman (main continuity, present Batman) should never marry especially, but Superman is in the same boat.

    Spidey's marriage is maybe the only one I support and I still have complicated conflicting thoughts even about that.

    Grant Morrison: “Adults...struggle desperately with fiction, demanding constantly that it conform to the rules of everyday life. Adults foolishly demand to know how Superman can possibly fly, or how Batman can possibly run a multibillion-dollar business empire during the day and fight crime at night, when the answer is obvious even to the smallest child: because it's not real.”

    I know you think that on one hand I can sort of see the problem with marrying any of these characters off notwhen they live and breathe in the same worlds and as a result the lines that were established many years ago have blurred since then. On the other hand the return of legacy and what not has been helpful more so than what Marvel's been up to not sure to what they are up if they do it but the only thing I can say good luck to the comic book as guys like myself who want to break in with their own work aim to take over.

    If they reboot again so soon, I'll probably stop reading their modern stuff & stick to already-published material. It's not so much that I care about marriages (if the story is good I can be for them, but I can also see value in not having them if the story is better that way), but I'm just not interested in another starting over point. Even as someone who's been reading since the 80's, I was very interested in what the New 52 announcement meant because I figured it might be time to clean the slate. But very quickly, I discovered that I really didn't want that.

    I have no interest in another reboot, whether is hard or soft. Batman hasn't even said his vows yet, and there's already a rumor that it's going to be reset very soon? Then why should I buy those comics at this point? Hopefully this new Crisis/reboot nonsense is a false rumor, they haven't even finished the Rebirth 10 years storyline yet. Is Doomsday Clock going to end with Manhattan's reveal, spinning into another Crisis event or something? It doesn't sound right. (Although, with the way Doomsday Clock is going, it'll be years before we get the ending lol)

    The only reboot I'd read would be a Day 1 reset for the entire DCU. And obviously they won't do that because of all the characters they'd lose, so if they reboot in any other way again I'm out.

    Every post I make, it should be assumed by the reader that the following statement is attached: "It's all subjective. What works for me doesn't necessarily work for you, and vice versa, and that's ok. You may have a different opinion on it, but this is mine. That's the wonderful thing about being a comics fan, it's all subjective."

    Funny I'm actually more supportive of Superman's Marriage than I am of Spidey's. Lois Lane has been presented as the definitive love interest for Sups for so long (with only one notable exception, other than the brief failed triangle with Lana), decades in fact, that I feel them being hitched is the natural evolution of the character. On the other hand, Mary Jane was simply the last girl standing in a love triangle after her competition was killed off for shock value (although it evolved into something deeper over time). Then there is the issue of Black Cat who many find a more interesting option for a potential Spider-Man mate than Mary Jane for a number of reasons, but I digress. To each his own I guess.

    Indeed, at this point, the constant continuity resets of DC have become a meme. We don't need another one again so soon. C'mon those in the DC Office just pick a headcanon and stick with it for more than a couple of years. Is that really too much to ask for?
