Guys can we talk about the real problem here. What are we going to do with 12 Super-people and 3 Jokers. That's easily 10 and 2 too many.

Extend the joker family obviously.

They seem to be stripping Wally of everything that made him Wally so they are keeping the tradition alive.

They also lost ten years which explains why the new 52 wasn't consistent, somehow.

What was the point of the New 52 Shazam.

Also they will go grim dark within the rebirth issue I bet.

To have him start out lovely and be lovely almost the whole time but eventually end up exactly where he was pre-n52.

Just like everything else.

Yeah I don't particularly care about Shazam and was fine with the new guy but he didn't do anything special.

Literally nothing I have read makes it seem like Johns recognizes that he might have been even a little at fault which undercuts this apology mightily.

You guys are trying a bit too hard to convince him not to try out these comics to see if they're good.

To be fair most seem to be mocking him for falling for the line DC has been using every couple years for the past decade.

Which is kind of what we do here.

Hint: nothing is going to change. Unless Johns and Dan had a Saul of Damascus moment.

Also I know this has been said but the watchmen literally being the villains is the most Johns thing that has ever been written.

It's kinda sorta reiterating a point he made in Seven Soldiers with Zor the Terrible Time Tailor. You can even find it in Flex Mentallo. It's a condemnation of "grim for the sake of grim because that uncompromising and total approach is the only way comics can mean something" most people would here would agree with.

The problem is Alan Moore for all his faults never attempted that. Alan Moore just makes a convenient scapegoat. This shows that ultimately Dan and Johns have learned nothing.
