Geoffs run was good in many ways,but it made kon bland,bland in personality,powers,and origin, but it was a well put together series.
Just wish Geoff wouldn't have gone so far with kon

Flashpoint and the ruination of the Justice League history.
I know I'm in the minority, but I'll take 'bland' over 'obnoxious' any day. Pre-Geoff I really really disliked both Bart and Kon. Just that teenage arrogance and obnoxious showboat attitude didn't appeal to me. I was ALWAYS a fan of Tim... but the early Impulse and Superboy appearances I hated.
Come Teen Titans and they were more grounded. More heroic. More team players and I loved those incarnations. I acknowledge they were vastly different characters... but I really thought they were improvements :P
DC should try publishing a monthly FLASH ongoing that costars Barry Allen and Wally West.

I think most DC fanbases are terrible. I never problems with Marvel fans. I've noticed that for years as a matter of fact.
Imagine being proud to have negative traits. I can’t relate.
DC: Justice League, The Flash, Justice League Dark, Superman, Action Comics, Green Arrow, Justice League Odyssey, The Terrifics, Teen Titans, Titans, Brimstone, Female Furies, Damage, Heroes In Crisis
Marvel: The Punisher, Cosmic Ghost Rider, Venom, X-23, Cloak and Dagger, Jessica Jones, Sentry
Indies: Unnatural, Jeepers Creepers, Project Superpowers, Black Hammer, Ninja-K
I wonder if that's a 'Legacy' issue? I've been reading for 30 years, and as far back as I can remember DC has had Legacy wars. Wally vs Barry, Hal vs. Kyle, Jason vs. Dick... and it's only gotten worse. With Marvel even if fans didn't agree on which writer was the best Spider-Man... everyone agreed they loved Spider-man.
Since the last couple of years with the Thor/Captain America/Spider-man etc all have had replacements or legacies now... the fan base over at marvel has gotten just as vicious as DC has ever been.
I can't believe one company has better fans than another company... especially when so many people read from BOTH companies. However one company has always made it a habit of splitting the fan base and turning them against each other...
Most of the post-Busiek JLA run is pretty lame and unremarkable. Actually most team books in the last 10 years or so had been pretty lame.

For the ages they were protraying pre Geoff I thought they were way better,if they stayed that way yeah it would have become annoying,and yeah Geoff matured them,but he also took away that spark they had that made them fun.
Like I said I thought Geoff went a lil to far,yes mature them,make them more grounded,but don't strip them of their uniqueness.

I realize that many were not even born, so they wouldn’t know, but pre 1990s I’d say there was harmony and heroes weren’t set against each other except for the sake of cover teasers where they fought each other, but it was a hoax, dream, mental manipulation or imaginary story.
The natural state of things was that they liked each other and worked together for a common goal. The power of the cover tease was that it showed an abnormal scene. It didn’t make sense, so you had to buy the comic to get the truth. And in the end the heroes shook hands and were friends.
The only upset was some friction between Ollie and Carter, for example, but you knew they really liked each other. Green Arrow was almost in tears when feather-face left the team.
Indeed, this harmony/disharmony was the defining difference between DC and Marvel. Marvel heroes never got along, DC heroes always did.
