I think that anything they do has about about the same chance of sticking around as whatever DC has done the last five times DC has pressed the giant reset button. This time with extra gynophobia!
Gimme some milk.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

DC hasn't announced much yet, but they did say that the first title they're relaunching is the Justice League with its classic lineup. It looks to me like they're trying to make the DCU more film franchise friendly.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Now, I did see someone say they thought it was Superboy in the JLA lineup, but they seemed confused and didn't seem to know about Kon-El. So I figure I'm getting way tainted information.

I have to go read some Teen Titans (2007 re-boot iteration) now for Kon-El goodness.

As part of the DC reboot, the new Batgirl will be... Barbara Gordon.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Are they going to reboot her legs?

Looks that way.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I'm not so keen on that. It seems to negate all the coolness of her character as Oracle, all her suffering and rising-above and establishing herself etc. And for what? So they can tack her name onto Batgirl again? And if they're doing it just to have the Joker cripple her again, that seems weirder and more horrible somehow, like she's in some purgatory constantly re-experiencing that trauma.
Also, one less really cool disabled character.
I'm not really seeing the positives.

Oh, fuck no. I really like paraplegic Barbara. Like, really really. Do you have a link to that and any other mistakes they might be making?
