While I am the kind of fanatic DC geek who can spout obscure trivia on command, I don't really care what the exact status quo of the DCU is at any given moment. Retcon aplenty, I don't care. In fact, I wish they'd stop worrying about it. Let each story be it's own thing and let the writers play with whatever version of the character they want. Let them reference whatever stories they want, as long the story is internally consistent and makes it apparent where it's going to stray from the norm. So what if Aquaman's title doesn't sync up with the JLA title? It works for Donald Duck. It works for Spirou. It works just as well for Superman.But I wish they'd stop merging their universes. The Fawcett characters have never fit into the DCU and it kinda ruined them. I don't really see Wildstorm fitting any better; it's a cynical universe, which the DCU ain't.I may eat my words, of course...  the Charlton characters did fit pretty snuggly, after all.* Except for more of Grant Morrison's Superman, yay!</blockquote>
