A WTF GOES OUT TO DC COMICS

Rebirth. Another relaunch? If Dan Dido and Jim Lee want to be like Marvel so bad, just jump ship already. In regards to comic books, it was the only valid statement in a DC v Marvel conversation. DC Comics had relaunched/renumbered just the one time, where Marvel seemed to do it quite often. Haven't seen anything that has verified this, but if the rumors are true, I am not happy about that haha

I understand some of the possible reasons I have come across. Shows like Arrow and The Flash bringing in new fans, and wanting a product that is similar to that of the television show. It happened to me with Green Lantern. I watched the movie in 2011, didn't mind it at all, then began to read the comic books. Yes, I enjoyed Ryan Reynolds' Green Lantern. I am thinking it is because I was only aware of the character, because I will admit now that the comic book is better and understand why that franchise is in reboot mode. I got into the comic book version and didn't expect things to be the same as the movie. A lot of people seem to forget that the shows/movies are adaptations of the comic books. I only point this out as I am curious as to what Dan and Jim have planned if their other forms of media become flops and failures? Rumors have it that Supergirl and Legends Of Tomorrow are up in the air in regards to there being second seasons.
In all honest, DC Comics should have done one of two things. First, they shouldn't have revamped and simply renumbered. Their top titles like Detective Comics, Batman, etc were approaching issue number 1000. Issue number 1001, should have been 1. They didn't do this so, secondly, they should have had a unshakable commitment to what they were doing. Some titles throughout the New 52 era, weren't in print long enough to really get any traction and make sense of things. They did  show commitment, just in the wrong way. Convergence took over for a couple of months, which for some people meant that if you weren't interested in the storyline, then you were left with nothing to read. When did they decide to not simply do as they always have done and simply made a new temporary title that tied into other permanent titles. I usually try to be pro-DC Comics all the time, but this is a hard one. As a Batman fan (ya, ya typical of me right?) I now have to deal with Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo leaving the title, then whatever DC Comics decides to do with the goddamn Batman and his soiree of characters. The only saving grace is that Snyders' replacement is James Tynion IV, who we've been given tastes of his writing style throughout Snyder's run on Batman. And also, what happens to the good things that came from the New 52 relaunch? Again with Batman, I enjoyed some of the villains backstories being updated (Mr. Freeze, Scarecrow, etc).

I am sure everything will be good. Just a matter of overlooking this almost comic book cliche of relaunches, and revamps. I enjoy movies and television shows too, I just don't expect the comic books to be the ones to change and mirror the live action. Save that for new titles that are separate from the main comic book universe. I didn't read the Smallville comic books, but thought that they were an amazing idea. I enjoyed Batman '66 for a brief period, and have been wanting a Batman (1989) series. Perhaps it is time for some change atop DC Comics. Till next time, stay Nerdy!
