No character deserves redemption more than another. They are fictional. The problem is when it's not done well. Like with characters like Harley, Ivy, Slade or even someone like Jason Todd. They have never once shown remorse or tried to atone for their past misdeeds but suddenly they are good/all is forgiven.
I find is amusing how fans have an issue/kick up a fuss only when this relates to characters they don't like.
if you guys are going have a moan about whitewashing crimes away, at least be consistent about it.
You are complaining about you conveniently ignore the fact that Jason tried to kill all 3 of his siblings [2 were kids] several times. Tried to destroy the Nightwing mantle, killed lots of people, endangered multiple kids and never once apologised and has never shown any remorse for these crimes but that gets handwaves or LOl pit madness excuse.
"It's fun and it's cool, so that's all that matters. It's what comics are for, Duh."
Words to live by.
We all have people in our lives who are complete **** people that we ignore the past and move forward. Doesnt mean we forgive them but we coexist with them.
To your point. I AGREE people can be very inconsistent with who they let slide by... but that's life too. Why one gets a pass and another doesnt can seem arbitrary.
Part 1 alpha was so compelling! Whoa I loved that issue.
I've read issue 2 which wasn't quite as good but still really liked. I'll be grabbing part 3 and 4 next time I'm in the shop!
Williamson has been really killing it for me since Infinite Frontier and having gone back and read bunch of his Flash makes me really excited for Dark Crisis!
