The DCnU: Now with more fail than ever!
Backstory: DC Comics has rebooted their entire universe with the DCnU and "The New 52", with 52 first issues of their titles, including Action Comics and Detective Comics. And new versions of familiar characters. Some of them more different than others. This has been... controversial to say the least. But where the fail has really hit the fan has been with DCnU!Starfire and Catwoman.

DCnU!Starfire is basically a scantily-clad wish fulfillment object in the first issue of Red Hood and the Outlaws #1. DCnU!Catwoman had sex with Batman at the end of Catwoman #1.

Comics Alliance's Laura Hudson has a well-written, well thought out response.

And another well-written response from a female fan.

A 7-year-old girl responds to the new, sexed up Starfire.

Shortpacked! does the math.

What does DC Comics have to say for themselves? "Pay atention to the ratings."

Edit: [info]thisfishflies reminds me that if you value keeping your blood pressure low, you should avoid reading the comments with those links.

And [info]spawn_of_kong points out Linkara's reactions to these changes (and others) for those who are interested.

Edit #2: [info]anarchicq says there's a survey being done by DC. But they only want to hear from certain people.

Patton Oswalt ragequits buying/reading DC after an encounter with a "New 52" survey taker in his local comic book store.

The relaunch has become a step-by-step guide to franchise-suicide. The only issue I have read so far is "Static Shock #1" which was good, but I don't see myself continuing to read other DC comics in the future. Maybe I'll pick up Batwoman and Wonder Woman but I don't know...

Batwoman got grandfathered in for me (I've been waiting on it for AGES), but I just can't be bothered to read anything else.

I'm too big an Aquaman fan not to support the first solo title that Aquaman has had in a long time.

On the plus side, it's getting good reviews, and he has a wife who is both kick-ass and fully clothed, so...

...I kind of want to pick this one up now. He was always my favourite.

Ooh ooh, the Static Shock #1 is good? I've been really wanting to read it but kind of afraid to go to the comic book store and face down my curiosity to loo at the others, but if it's worth checking out I want to because I love Static.

....Also Batwoman. rrrgggh, desire to read more competing with urge to not give any more of my money to DC...
