I know many of us have major gripes with DC, but we still love the company at the same time. I love DC comics with a passion, and I will defend it to no end. But DC does do things that make me angry as hell, e.g. Wally West situation. But I still love it. My main problem is that I feel like DC needs better writers, needs to treat other character that aren't Batman with love, more diversity, and new blood (new writers), and better marketing.
See I feel like DC has wasted a lot of opportunities with their characters. In an era where feminism is getting more love world wide a character like Wonder Woman should be the face of that. DC should really market off of that, and make her actually great, and play off of her core values. Play off of what makes her such a great character, and make her more marketable to women of all ages. But that doesn't happen. She has only one solo book out, which in my opinion isn't even good. They should really put top tier/capable writers on her, but that isn't happening anytime soon. An animated film would do her justice but that isn't happening anytime soon. It's just a mess. Don't get me started on Superman/Wonder Woman, because the book just feels like Diana is going along with whatever is happening in Clark's life.
The same can be said for Superman. I feel like the direction there is really horrible. The only consistent book from that line is Action Comics, and I feel like Truth has veered that off a little. Which in all honestly, I feel was a wasted opportunity, because you had Superman in a position where he could tackle real life issues, but it copped out. They need to show off more of what really makes Superman good, and him sticking up for the little man, and actually showing off how human he is. Not only that show off how he really affects the people around him (which another person actually came up with). But again wasted opportunities.
Let's not get started on the abomination that is the Teen Titans, and how DC basically ruined their chances at a younger population. They have a lot of characters that they can use, and if marketed well could be as big as Miles Morals, and Kamala Khan. For example: Blue Beetle , Static, Power Girl, Spoiler, Tim Drake, Bunker, Vibe, Danica Williams, Rocket, Emiko, Superboy, Supergirl. But that is all wasted potential there, because DC doesn't know how to market to a younger audience.
I'm gonna finish with my rambling, if they makes sense to anyone, share what you have to say about what I said, or anything that DC is failing at in your opinion.
Also what happened to that Supergirl book we were promised? And what happened to Vibe, and Larfleeze? Especially Vibe.
Oh yeah, the lack of a stable Magic, and Cosmic aspect within DC is really sad.
But seriously, where's Vibe?
