Your DC-Only controversial opinions (part II)...

That fact doesn't bother me any more than Dick Grayson not being the original Nightwing. There could even be a story there between the ladies, if there isn't already.

Well, don't know about Bertinelli, but the other two previous Huntresses had met up in the past . . .

See? An extra layer behind Helena Wayne's alter ego!

The recent losses the Justice League has suffered seem fair given how often DC loves jobbing or killing of c-listers to up the stakes.

And the poor Teen Titans....

I'd also prefer to have Shazam, WIldstorm and the Charleton Comic characters on seperate Earth's.

I'd prefer the JSA (the whole Golden Age) included with the Fawcett & Wildstorm on an alternate Earth together just to see the Seven Soldiers team Wildcats meet the original Seven Soldiers team but if they did that people might read them more & want more comics from that earth hence DC couldn't over saturate with Bat & Super characters.

Has there ever been a period where the reincarnation themed Hawkman coexisted with the military themed Thanagarian version?

When you say "reincarnation themed" Hawkman, do you mean the original Golden Age one?
If so, then the answer is "yes" . . . right around the time of Zero Hour when they were merged together.

Nice to see someone knows their DC history.

Thanks! I will comb the internet to see if I can locate books from around that time. I was curious to see how they differed and in what ways they were similar. I think I know of the Post Zero Hour version as that one joined the Justice League the Wonder Woman's tenure as leader. I think he had actual bird eyes and his wings were real wings that manifested at will, right?

One other thing about the two Hawkmen of that time is the MAJOR confusion that resulted when DC decided to make the Tim Truman / Hawkworld version of Katar Hol (introduced in 1989) the current/ONLY version of Katar Hol and have his introduction to DC take place in the then current/present time, ignoring the fact that the Silver Age+ version of Katar Hol had still been appearing in new stories/series after CoIE ended in 1986.
So DC kept trying to retcon any pre-Hawkworld Katar Hol stories into stories that instead featured the Golden Age Carter Hall/Khufu. Then they had to explain how Golden Age Carter Hall/Khufu had access to all that Thanagarian technology like that used when the JLA built their satellite headquarters, etc.

Every hole they tried to plug seemed to result in two more holes, which led to this:

I forgot that horrendous dialogue. And some say Kirby's dialogue when he wasn't working with Stan Lee was bad.

I wanted this version of Hawkman to work so bad. I like this latest version a lot, though. I'm usually not a big fan of the reincarnation angle (*gasp*), but the current version just works for me.

I haven't been able to get into him since that weird eye one (an avatar of some sort?) disappeared.

What was happening with him (or is it them?) around this time? For the life of me I can't remember the space triangle wing guys interacting with the feather wing ones (all of them were fake wings though)
