Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Batgirl's new background. Hmmph. No Oracle at all.

Man, I just stirred up a minor shitstorm asking about the reboot on IO9. But at least I have found some people who don't hate the idea. It's seriously the first time.

So I bought JL #1, because I'm stalking Batfamily appearances in the 52, and it was a whole lot of nothing. NOTHING HAPPENED. Batman escapes the cops, meets GL. Or vice versa. Vic Stone is not a cyborg, has daddy issues. Superman hits GL, threatens Batman.

And we're done.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

And we're done.

That's not a story. That's not even the set up of a story.

Not even slightly. It's like they took a coffee break 1/3 of the way through writing and arting.

So apparently Dark Horse will be issuing a comic that covers some of the territory between the end of Avatar: the Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra. Starts coming out in January.

WHAT

Breaking up Barry and Iris makes even less sense that breaking up Lois and Clark.
