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.

Are you sure it's ten years?

The Justice league flashback says Five years for the founding of the Justice League. So that means even if Batman and the other heroes were operating on their own for five years all the crap that still happened that the Justice league was involved in is now crammed into five years.

But they've also said Bruce is still only thirty-five. Which... including all his training and the time he worked alone (because Morrison is still writing in his "everything counted!" style) means he went through, like, a Robin a year or something, since all but Steph are still canon. WTF.

On that note Steph being shoehorned out was bullshit. Everything else happened except Steph? Really?

DC is not a fan of their females in the Batfam. Except Barbra as Batgirl of course!!!

Apparently Bruce has been around for ten years, but publicly for about five years. Which means they reinstituted the ridiculous Urban Legend!Batman, haha.

Yeah that entire idea never worked but it is one of those ones like evil being inherited that just keeps sticking around in DC.

Yup, that's what they've said. The heroes (Or at least Batman) were solo for 5 years, the League was formed, and then everything else happened in a five year period leading up until the new stories.

It's incredibly stupid.
