I've been pretty much torn with my feelings when it comes to the New 52 series that DC started in an effort to reboot the entire Universe. Gone was the Young Justice I once loved, the stories of the Teen Titans, the character development of villains and heroes. Now we have a new line up for the Teen Titans, new origin stories and the Justice Leagues are all jerks to the God damn Batman.
So far I've developed a rather simple love - hate relationship for the New 52 DC Universe and I'm just going to take the stories as they come. There have been some pretty good issues so far and I like where everything is going, I'm just sad that the universe I once new is gone forever.
Now what does that mean for this forum? Well, we've been pretty strict on following the DC Universe continuity, but in light of the New 52 we can actually open a door to a plethora of new stories. Of course we can't go overboard and start saying that Wonder Woman is actually from an alien race, but we can stay true to the characters, but give them our own look and feel.
Basically, we can create a universe with the same power the comic creators have. We can take liberties with every character and it will be alright because nothing is set in stone exactly.
I think this is a very exciting revelation and offers a lot of options for everybody. A clean slate is exactly what we needed to lift off and here it is. A rebooted DC Universe gives opportunity to new and old writers and let's us really push our imagination.
I hope that you can all see this too, and that together we can build our own DC Universe. Sure we'll shadow the continuity as issues are churned out, but for now we pretty much have free reign and that's something worth writing about!
See you on the forums!
