THE CBR COMMUNITY STANDARDS & RULES ~ So... what's your excuse now?
I’m not saying Jaime didn’t get a chance. It’s that he isn’t still getting that exposure for such a great character. Much lesser characters keep popping up while he’s off the radar.
But hey, maybe it’s just me that sees more to this character. I just feel like through outside media we could see him thrive in today’s world.
I knew it was something in terms of their solo books. He also said they would be back around issue 50 if everything worked out.
Gail Simone ASKED to use Rocket in Birds of Prey-she got shot down.
Well New 52 screwed him over like so many. Because it like New 52 Static forgot what attracted folks to them in the first place.Jaime is possibly the worst example of "didn't get a chance" at modern DC.
If every shot you give him is CRAPPY whose fault is that?
That was due to ONE comment "Better than Robin." that set off bitter Robin faction.I know you're a huge Duke fan so consider this: given his lukewarm reception at best, if he was in any other office, he would have disappeared or died by now. Even the Super or Wonder books with all their merch significance would not have protected him.
If he popped up in WW-what would he be? Wonder Boy?
If he popped up in Superman-what would he be? We have seen how that Superman office has issues with black males-especially the ones who like Supergirl.
I think the point is being made how guys collecting DUST on shelves can be dug up and get books to NO complaints from the usual suspects.
Meanwhile any discussion MAINLY when it comes to POC-gets pushback. Even if they get a tv show or movie. It's like committing a sin if someone tries anything with them.
Lead mainly by those who would NEVER read the book.
Adam Strange gets a mini? No one goes off. Question gets one. No one goes off.
Jaime could dominate the YA market. You got Miles, Shuri, Squirrel Girl, Moon Girl, Cassandra Cain, Nubia, Beast Boy & Aqualad. Don't let Static pop out with one.
Sadly, I'm in no way surprised by what I've learned in this thread, sickening.
"So you've come to the end now alive but dead inside."
It's a real shame that the company with arguably the most noble, altruistic heroes has a history of being anything but.
While the future looks really scary for the shared universe, the actual company is making progress, so that's the silver lining.
DC's misogyny and racism stifled talent...and we lost stories.
DC's practices attempted to dictate our preferences...and we lost characters.
DC's policies left a lot of our money on the table...money that I bet they wish they had now!

Well, if it does criticize AT&T,...then let's remember that DC/WB is not entirely blameless.
The link in the original post goes nowhere, has the site gone kaput or was the original link redacted? Same for the Valerie D'Orazio thing lower.
