The first issue of “Justice League of America” right after Infinite Crisis almost seemed like everyone was remembering a really awkward or really uncomfortable situation as evident by this scene.When Wonder Woman asked Superman if Batman should remain on the team,that seemed a little out of place I mean she had just murdered Maxwell Lord,for good measure yes,but can you now understand Batman’s distrust.Don’t go acting like he is at fault when you murdered a man.

I think this is a fundamental misunderstanding of the situation.

I will preface this by saying that I think everything from Identity Crisis through Infinite Crisis is a bunch of out-of-character garbage.  I wouldn’t wipe my dog’s ass with those pages.  The only thing I like about the reboot is that Identity Crisis, and thus Infinite Crisis, never happened.

So…

Batman specifically designed Brother Eye to kill meta-humans he deemed to have gone rogue.  He didn’t tell anyone about the massive Death Satellite or its AI, even when it mysteriously vanished.  Batman put millions of innocent people at risk (all the meta-humans plus the innocent people turned into OMACs to do the killing) because of his own paranoia regarding a small group.  That’s first class supervillain behavior and I think it warrants the question of whether or not Batman should stay on the League.  Wonder Woman killed one person who was mind-controlling Superman to protect everyone else.  Before you say she could have knocked him out instead, it’s been demonstrated that Max’s orders don’t disappear when he’s asleep.  There’s no reason to think knocking him unconscious would work, and even if it did he could pick up where he left off as soon as he woke up.  Of course she should go through the normal legal process anyone else would go through, and if she were acting in character she wouldn’t have any objection, but I doubt anyone could deny that it was a case of self defense.  Really, what can you do when a supervillain with mind control powers is using Superman as a weapon against you?  I don’t think the situations can be compared.

Seriously though, I really just want to bitch about these storylines.  I wish we could erase everything that happened from Identity Crisis through Infinite Crisis.  It’s one giant parade of nonsensical horseshit.  The heroes involved in Identity Crisis wouldn’t have acted that way based on previous characterization, so Batman shouldn’t have had a reason to distrust the League.  Batman would certainly make plans on how to neutralize anyone he didn’t trust if it came to that, but he isn’t insane.  He wouldn’t build a killer satellite with an artificial intelligence that used nanites to turn civilians into mindless robot drones, and he wouldn’t let an innocent person like Ted Kord walk blindly into danger.  He’s may be a jerk most of the time, but that isn’t the same as being a crazed supervillain. 

Max Lord turning evil was just stupid.  From his all-new muscly character design to the retcon that he’d always planned to eliminate the meta-humans, it was all pure, unfiltered stupidity.  I can’t even wrap my mind around it.

The only good thing to come out of that mess was Jaime Reyes, and Ted Kord didn’t need to die for that.  The scarab mysteriously vanishes again, as it’s prone to do.  It shows up in El Paso, fused to Jaime’s spine.  Ted retires permanently as the Blue Beetle because it’s already been established for quite awhile that he has a serious heart condition and shouldn’t even jog slowly, much less run around as a superhero.  Ta-da!  Brand new character, comparatively minor fan-wank.

I think I’m done rambling off-topic now.

This is so nasty.  I can’t stop laughing.

Can we take a second to talk about this girl right here?

This girl is M’gann M’orzz.

This girl is the Ultimate Fucking Fangirl.

I don’t care what you’ve thought about M’gann in the past, because you know what? 

You will never fangirl as hard as this fucking girl right here.

When was the last time you stowed away on your uncle’s spaceship to go to Hogwarts?

Oh that’s right, you DIDN’T. 

Now, let me tell you what M’gann M’orzz, Ultimate Fucking Fangirl, did.

This fucking girl named her boyfriend after her OTP.

That’s right, and don’t fucking tell me you wouldn’t, because you’re either a liar or you’re not really from Tumblr.

The best you can do is get yourself a pair of cats and name them Dick and Wally. That’s right. That’s all you can do.

This girl fucking became her own OTP. 

SHE BECAME IT.

When was the last time you did that?

OH YOU DIDN’T

BECAUSE YOU’RE NOT AS AMAZING AS

M’GANN FUCKING M’ORZZ

ULTIMATE

FUCKING

FANGIRL

I don’t watch Young Justice so I have no idea what this person is talking about.  But that is the best .gif ever, and I want it on my blog.

“It may be childish but I can’t help disliking Barry Allen for creating the DCnU post-Flashpoint.

No, I think that’s totally reasonable.  He did something stupid for selfish reasons and the whole universe got fucked up because of it, not once, but twice.  I think some hard feelings are perfectly justified.

For just dollars a day, you too can help save a CLAMP character from collapsing under the weight of their own angst.

Really, it seems legit >:D

This is a necessary thing.  How many more eyes have to be lost before we act?
