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.

I have some bad news.

DC has so totally fragged anything resembling continuity, and are being so slapdash about what is actually included, that DiDio just over the weekend stated that now all the Crises, etc are struck from continuity.

How that's going to affect, oh, just about everything -- especially the Bat books and the Lantern books, the ones DC left relatively untouched -- is absolutely mindbending.

They're shooting themselves in the foot faster than they can reload.

...whu- how the fuck is Jason even alive, then?! And that's just for starters.

The only thing I can theorize is that they're going with a pure toss-him-in-the-Pit explanation.

Alas, not everything is as "easily" explained as Jason ...
