LOL Cleary that decision was made, to try to recreate the popularity of Flashpoint Batman. But it was completely unnecessary. If Bruce lives, then obviously BOTH of his parents have to die. Huntress and Power Girl should definitely be allowed to fulfill the roles of Batman and Superman, for the JSA.

He would've be...Dick should've been Oracle. He would've been infinitely more interesting as the techie of the team, and both would have abilities that compliment the other. He could've even become another Nightwing or Robin or a hybrid of both. Thomas Wayne should've been the doctor on the team, not Batman. Huge mistakes that took over Helena's spotlight when they could've recreated different versions of the bat legacy. I hated Dick the second they totally refrigerated a totally competent Barbara Gordon to make us sympathetic to his story and instead made most of us sick. Also, my pet peeve is that Yolanda Montez disappeared when she looked like she was going to be Wildcat again, totally sloppy forgetfulness.Dantehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15310496846855600647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-368648927403203265.post-80878501742609390172017-02-14T15:21:37.677-08:002017-02-14T15:21:37.677-08:00Yuck, let's not even put that out there in the...Yuck, let's not even put that out there in the universe. He's so ill-fitting it hurts. Hopefully he at best would be used in a Robin capacity because he has no business standing in front of or trying to lead his 'Aunt Helena' around. It almost makes sense they would recreate the dynamic duo with those two since they are both orphans. She would train and raise him the way the earth 1 Dick was raised by her 'father.' I could deal with that.

I was thinking if they have adventures like this than they don't have to be on earth 1 justifying their existence as these parrallel reality other earth characters. Huntress and Power Girl can stay as they are, and eventually they could come across Lyta, the true Fury and gather and leave members behind organically as the story goes. This is a lot like Marvel's Exiles, and I feel this could serve very well as a new vehicle for my favorite characters to exist in continuity while exploring the rest of the other 52 earths. Considering this new planet they are on technically has no supervillains and the only one they had was just killed, and no one knows who they are and they need no protection, I see no need for them to stay on this new earth, so they may as well keep travelling. I'm just more than ready to see Helena and Kara celebrate their legacies without any 'help' from shoehorned male characters who don't have the pedigree or the training to justify usurping a legacy that doesn't belong to them. They wouldn't even have been a problem if Huntress and PowerGirl were portrayed properly as the leaders I know that they are after years of training on and off the field. Then they were shoved aside for people that should've been trainees. Val-Zod trying to calm down Kara is an insult and Dick coming out of nowhere out of paralysis with no training puts on a costume and stands in front of Huntress in every scene? They had the confidence to give them a series but not to have them lead their own team? This misogynistic fear that they suddenly couldn't be trusted to stand on their own two feet and hold down their own legacy so they create several meaningless male characters to waste pages and steal thunder was their biggest mistake since the torture porn this book became. Dan Abnett must've been forced to keep weaker characters that could've worked in different capacities, because it looked forced. They must've pointed at certain characters and said, 'make it work.' I stayed on the ride for Helena and Kara so I hope they appear on a regular basis in lead status where they deserve, in an uncompromising way that shows the strength of their history and respect to where they fit with their respective legacies.
