It's nice to see DC Comics using the DCAU Justice League picture after asking who's your ultimate Justice League team.
It really shows how much of an impact that old cartoon show has made.
Saw this on Facebook. If you know, you know.
Just a funny meme based on a recent interview with Charlemagne.

The problem is that Katma has been dead for like 30+ years. Even in these flashbacks that you see in Green Lantern stories where you see Katma, how often was John present, other than that flashback screen shot above? Hardly ever. You seen Hal interact with her in the Dead Zone. Hal also interacted with her in Robert Venditti's run. Basically Hal interacted with her more so than John Stewart. I think it's time for John to move on, because I don't see it ever happening.
I always felt like John would be in his early to mid 30s. But I’m not complaining.
Have you guys ever wondered why the comic companies don’t have a lot more minority characters? I mean, I get why they didn’t back in the old days, but why not more now? Outside of a handful of characters like Miles Morales, you don’t see a big push from companies to highlight minority characters like they should. It’s ridiculous. Even John has never had his own solo book with the title of Green Lantern. Mosaic was great, but I really want to see John with his own GL book. There’s no reason why DC can’t have more than one GL book. Marvel has three Spider-Man solo books.

Because folks like comicsgate, some store owners and even certain factions of said demographic would take issue.
Because to some "HUMANIZING a POC is offensive."
Because some people believe POC is a one size fits all collective.
To some Miles Morales was not black until Jason Reynolds's New York Times best selling novel came out.
Luke Cage's show runner Cheo Hodari Coker was ripped for not knowing how to write a black man from Harlem. Never mind Cheo is black.
Static and Milestone were ripped for not being black enough by Wizard the Guide to Comics.
Cyborg's last writer wanted to define him as a black man.
To some a black character is not black unless they have issues with cops, have a messed up home life and other things deemed as black exclusive.
And some only want that highlight to be when certain topics happen. Like what is happening now. If certain folks were at DC now-I am so SURE a story with some black characters would comment on police brutality and how a virus victims look a certain way.
When you keep doing that-you ahve folks fear if they see a book with a POC as the lead-they "assume" they are going to get preached to. Or we get stuff like early Wallace West.
Heheh. Wasn't there a never released Black Lightning comic sometime recently where Black Lightning got shot by the police? And didn't he fight the police in his latest miniseries? I can't remember if he outright fought them or just had a big problem with them. I can't remember because I didn't buy it and only skimmed it pretty quick.
Either way, it was pretty predictable and standard fare for a DC or Marvel black hero.
"He's not MY Captain America," and all of that kind of stuff you almost always see in their books.
