Absolutely this. People need to let certain things go. Arkham City was the natural endpoint for both of those actors. And the DCAU wasn’t perfect like a lot of the fanboys act like it is. A lot of characters were straight up butchered for simplicity (cough cough Sinestro)!
Books I’m pulling: Justice League Dark, Batman and the, Outsiders, Suicide squad, Daredevil, Tynion’s Batman, X-men, X-force, Marauders, Hellions, X-Factor, Three Jokers, Deceased Dead Planet
The Justice League, as a team and ongoing title, sucks and is a disservice to every character involved.
DC as a whole could benefit from looser continuity and just letting the characters exist in their own contexts without worrying about how everything fits together.
Did the old thread get closed down?
Superboy-Prime is an unironically great character

Agreed. Beyond BTAS, it isn't that good of a representation.
- I don't care for the JSA all that much, especially the "all the Golden Age characters except for the really important ones are tied firmly to WWII but are still around now and only have kids in their 20s" set up of post-Crisis. They work better on Earth-2. Outside of Jay interacting with the Flashes, they don't have any impact outside of their own little corner anyway.
- There shouldn't have been any sidekicks after Dick's generation.
- Dick may have been better off just getting the Neal Adams Robin costume and keeping the identity back in the NTT era, because Nightwing will never measure up to Robin in importance
- COIE was needed at the time but has had a terrible legacy that ruined a lot of characters
- Byrne's influence on Superman and Miller's influence on Batman are both terrible and the characters need to be pried from their grip (easier said than done at this point). Perez is better for Wonder Woman, ideally she should be more of a solid mix between him and Marston than purely one or the other.
- Morrison writes a better Hal Jordan then Johns
- I can enjoy Flash as either Barry or Wally. As long as they have the iconic red costume and battling the Rogues or talking gorillas, I'm generally satisfied.
- Both the Super Marriage (usually as written) and the romance with Wonder Woman are boring. Lois in general is still the best Super love interest though.
Felt they both sounded a little long in the tooth even by the Arkham games though it does work there for at least the first two.
Wonder Woman is the main one I come to when I think of characters who got mishandled but yeah of the villains, Sinestro is so disappointing in his view appearances.
I've come to this reading Morrison also. I like Johns contribution to the larger GL world but for Hal himself I prefer Morrison's more laid-back characterization.
