Most disliked repeated storyline

[Tzigone]

We all know some storylines gets repeated over and over again. Usually because the first time it was popular.

What are some of your least favorites - either because you think they are holding back a specific character, or because you didn't like it the first time, or just because you're tired of repetition?

Raven - Am I evil because my father is a demon.
Cyborg - Am I more man or machine?

Raven - Am I evil because my father is a demon.
Cyborg - Am I more man or machine?

Definitely two that were in the forefront of my mind. Gotham city getting taken over by baddies is another I don't need to see again.

[Frontier]

Batman distancing himself from his family and acting like a jerk only to have to learn not to be a jerk and bringing his family back in the fold.

[Gaius]

-Batman vs. Superman

-Themyscira getting invaded, destroyed, or Themyscira invading the world. Add on "The Amazons are a bunch of misandrists".

-Storylines for Zatanna that center around Zatara being gone.

[Frontier]

Any Robins having "daddy issues" with Batman.

[Dark Falz]

Ocean Master taking the throne with a plan to attack surface dwellers. I guess I don't think it's bad or anything, but...From a certain point of view, it seems like there's like...one Aquaman story. Or at least one that people feel like telling.

[CaptCleghorn]

The story that fixes continuity. No, really, for sure this time, we promise!

[Badou]

Basically any Joker story.

Superhero loses their superpowers

Aquaman getting usurrped or kicked off the throne is a pretty cliche'd storyline at this point.

[Twice-named]

Titans disbanding again and again.

Definitely Cyborg's "am I a man or machiiiiiiiinne!?" storylines and plot points. Oh, John Stewart anguishing over Xanshi is another one I can't stand.

[Lightning Rider]

Broadly speaking, I'd go with generic large-scale invasions of Earth. It just feels so played out. I can only see spaceships floating in the sky so many times. A good story can probably use that trope without relying on it as a crutch, but a crutch is what it feels like in most events and JL-centered threats. And at this point, movies as well.

-Storylines for Zatanna that center around Zatara being gone.

Agree on all of these. Admittedly, the Zatanna/Zatara one was the only one of the three I even liked the first time.

Aquaman getting usurrped or kicked off the throne is a pretty cliche'd storyline at this point.

So very, very true.

Oh, John Stewart anguishing over Xanshi is another one I can't stand.

It was a recent comment on the John Stewart thread that prompted me to start this thread (not that I haven't thought about the repeated storylines before).
