The new 52 and DC You were the most 90s DC has been since the 90s
"The Batman is Gotham City. I will watch him. Study him. And when I know him and why he does not kill, I will know this city. And then Gotham will be MINE!"-BANE
"We're monsters, buddy. Plain and simple. I don't dress it up with fancy names like mutant or post-human; men were born crueler than Apes and we were born crueler than men. It's just the natural order of things"-ULTIMATE SABRETOOTH
No problem, dude, we all love money. Owning it seems to be a problem though
But you've got a point. Don't know if it really works like that, don't have any real data, but indeed most of my comic book store going fellows from 90s now struggle with money.
I'm prone to think that the 90s was a decade of experiences and crossovers influenced (or maybe backlashed) by the sudden success of Image comics and the style of guys like McFarlane and it soon became disposable. I pity this decision, I'm right now staring at a Power of Shazam and a Green Lantern books from the 90's and they're my favorite.

Not sure DC hates the 90's, but I sure loved it.
Peace
THIS.
Wally, Kyle, Cassandra, Steel, Shazam, Tim and others SOLD. They made DC MONEY.
You don't RUIN what made you money because you want certain folks in the forefront. You make it work together.
Don't say DC likes Money and dead properties like Sugar & Spice can get tossed in a book. While Jaime Reyes is nowhere to be seen. While folks like Vixen are on tv shows and get DENIED stuff.
DC was a fanboy paradise. Now it's trying to be a business. Problem is after Batman-what do you got? Because everyone else is struggling because of previous behaviors.
It's funny about the whole "'90s aesthetic" that they did embrace it with the New 52 but, ironically, DC in the '90s wasn't really like that. A few outliers, sure, but it wasn't like with Marvel where they really took the whole Image thing to heart but, ya know, with knock offs since the real deals left to form Image. DC in the '90s was Vertigo, the triangle era for Superman, Starman, Hitman, Chuck Dixon's Batman, Waid's Flash, Marz' GL, Kesel's Superboy, PAD's Supergirl and the like. The grimdark, so-called edgy stuff never really lasted that long or made much impact even at the time.

I am not sure of the validity of the 'theory' but there is truth. We all entered comics at different times and we all thought the books that came out when we started, or at least the ones we really really liked, were the best and should be coming out forever, not thinking that the books and characters that they replaced had previously been seen the same way by the previous generation, and so we did not care, and that is fine because we need to be replaced by new readers who are looking for new things and not the same things catering to us as we became so choosy and close minded.
Yeah but to be fair, whether or not it was planned that way, the whole thing ended up being an examination of '90s tropes and why, in effect, classic Batman is better than these Extreme '90s "superheroes". And neither the cover artist (Kelly Jones) nor the interior artist (the great Jim Aparo) had much to do with the '90s aesthetic - which was true of most but certainly not quite all of the DC artists at the time.

Yeah you're right, maybe I misunderstood you, but that's my point. Mike Deodato Jr. is another good example. He was starting his Marvel/DC career and he had to draw in a style completely different from what he used to do when he was an indie artist. And this indie art of him (probably from the 80s) is much closer to what he does now than to what he had to draw for the industry in the 90s. So that was happening to everyone and that's what made this so called 90s aesthetic led by the crew that left Marvel.
I think it can be either good like Green Lantern and Flash or bad like that Jean-Paul Valley incarnation of Batman.
