It is just that a lot of potential has been wasted.<br /><br />The conceit of the five years later for the DCnU may help out the Batman and Green Lantern lines but does a disservice to the rest of the line. I think that a hard reboot might have been easier in many respects. The Justice League, for example, does not feel like a team. I think Stormwatch in more recent issues felt more like a team.<br /><br />The question of the next reboot will depend on how well DC does with customers. I do agree that one could argue that it was time for a reboot. The Post-Crisis on Infinite Earth Batman probably would be getting ready for an AARP card. Still, I think a lot of things could have been handled better. As for J'Onn, I think he may be the most solitary hero in the DCnU, searching out for plots and hidden dangers, realizing that the people he likes could be dangerous to themselves and others. (Stormwatch and Justice League both could become tyrannical with a few tragic events. The DC animated universe explored what a loss of a single member meant to one world's Justice League.)will_in_chicagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01468337654400802576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-46131048251102473592012-08-09T14:10:45.349-05:002012-08-09T14:10:45.349-05:00A nice daydream indeed.

A difficult task, to be sure, but surely they could have done better than this.<br /><br />I can just feel the reboot coming sooner rather than later.mathematicscorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15439579069513071094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-73379938090034334772012-08-09T10:12:34.961-05:002012-08-09T10:12:34.961-05:00Frank, thanks for a great blog and I am glad that ...Frank, thanks for a great blog and I am glad that my question led to it. I agree that a team with J'Onn could have been handled a lot better. Possibly some of the characters you mentioned can still interact with him.<br /><br />I just feel that J'Onn has been underused and badly used, much like many of the Milestone and Wildstorm characters. I don't know what the DC brass has in mind for J'Onn but I hope it is something good.will_in_chicagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01468337654400802576noreply@blogger.com
