Message: <blockquote data-quote="Villano" data-source="post: 5579174" data-attributes="member: 505">The dislike is really due to several factors.The first is that people don't have a lot of faith in the people in charge at DC.  I mean, if they announced that the reboot was being headed by Grant Morrison, Alan Moore, and Neil Gaiman, there would probably be more enthusiasm.  Since DiDio's been in charge, it's been big "nothing is ever going to be the same again!" events, gimmicks, and mini-reboots.  They've caused the very continuity problems which they now claim to need to be fixed.There's also this weird mentality there.  On the one hand, they seem to want to reintroduce the Siver Age concepts, but on the other, they want the grim & gritty 90s stuff.  Someone summed it up best by saying that DC is run by people who wish there was more rape and cannibalism in the Silver Age.Plus there are the costume redesigns.  When they rebooted everything with Crisis, they didn't change the way the characters looked.And now there's some confusion as to what kind of reboot they are going for.  Comic Book Resources is reporting that the "effects of major crossovers like Blackest Night [are] to stay in place moving forward".  So...what does that mean?  Are they mixing retcons and current continuity?  That's just going to cause a bigger mess.  Honestly, I'm beginning to  wonder if this is going to end up being a House of M or Heroes Reborn and the old continuity will be back in a year (which makes the whole thing stink of a desperate sales gimmick...especially when you consider that they are releasing 52 first issues in one month).</blockquote>
