    Speaking of them, Ava DuVernay’s New Gods script is the best story never told.

    ^^^Jesse Chambers and Rick Tyler are a great couple.

    So were Courtney Whitmore and Billy Batson.

    Cass, Tim, and Stephanie are far past their prime (which was in the 2000s) and have been unnecessary clutter in the Bat-Family since each of their reintroductions in the New 52.

    While Grant Morrison has done some of my favorite runs in comics (JLA, All-Star Superman), he did far more harm than good with his run on Batman.

    Yeah, even tho it was multiversal (or, at least, bi-versal), Mr. Terrifics murder made for a great JL story. The only pillars shaken being those of the characters' hearts, and it was a detective yarn you could get your noggin around.

    New 52 should have always been an Ultimates style line.

    DKR never should have gotten any sequels or prequels.

    Damien Wayne is just a bad character all around.

    Watchmen never should have been touched.

    The Smallville comic did a way better job with the Legion and New Krypton story than the mainstream universe did by combining them.

    And since we're on the subject: Earth 167 is not the official Smallville universe.

    Replacing fan favourite heroes with legacy characters is bad for business.

    It pisses the fanbase off who quit or start reading Marvel.

    Hawkman and Hawkwoman should be a couple - if for no other reason - because Hawkwoman was one of the few sidekicks (especially, female sidekicks) treated as more than a backdrop for her partners awesomeness, and post-Golden Age has generally been respected as an equal partner. Besides, it's nice to see a marriage that works.

    The Atom is terribly underrated, mainly because nobody figured out a broad range of villains that would elevate his stories in his early years.

    Sometimes I think that Barbara Gordon should've stayed in that wheelchair and remained Oracle.

    Made her much more interesting.

    Crisis on Infinite Earths was a huge mistake, creating for more problems than it ever solved and forever stifling not just creativity within the DCU, but irrevocably f***ing franchises like the Legion beyond repair.

    I don't blame Crisis for the Legion's troubles - I blame the Superman editorial office. Also, I thought the Legion was very repairable, but that's another kettle of fish...
