Oh, they are finally launching Batwoman, but not with Greg Rucka. Interesting.

I'm still torn on the whole reboot. I get why they did it, and I think it's the best move DC could make. I really like the digital distribution plans, but I'm still burned about having all my memories of reading comics since I was a kid just wiped out. Granted, a lot of it needed to be shoveled into a furnace, but there were a number of great moments, too (primarily thinking of The Breaking of the Bat, Contagion, rebuilding Gotham City, Barbara crippled by the Joker, and the entire Gotham Central run).

But mostly I'm gritting my teeth wondering why I should get invested in a comic line when it could be rebooted in 6-12 months.

Personally, if I ran DC (like it would ever happen), I'd go for the mother of all stunts and cancel Batman, Superman, Justice League, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern for a couple of years and spin up whole new titles ranging from everyday crime stories to fantasy stories to horror to sci-fi/tech/alter-worlds. Let Marvel be the bloated multiverse of confusing stories. Let DC be the places where new stories, stories that appeal to a wide range of readers, get told.

Then fold back in the classics after those writers have a chance to serious think about new arcs and stories. Make every month an event. April. Bam! Return of Batman. May Bam! Return of Superman. And so on.

I'll still check out what DC's up to, but likely as a curious spectator watching the high-wire act.
