Are these controversial? I agree, both Darkseid and Joker should be given a break, and probably Luthor too at this point.
I was gung-ho for Luthor during the "Good Lex" arc early on in Rebirth, but they never went as far with it as I wanted. My ideal version of retiring Luthor would be to make him a good guy until the next reboot.
Sorry mate, you're right. Two-Face is underrated and a truly great character, and Joker just isn't that cool anymore. Nothing to fight over.
Although I feel like you get bonus points for somehow managing to make me feel like I just dunked on you by agreeing with you. It's kind of a nice feeling, honestly.
