DC Reboot: on not letting the door hit me on my way out.

So I've taken to stalk a bit of Gail Simone's Twitter - I know, I know, how the mighty are fallen - and I've realized that there's one thing that would keep me from leaving DC, even if Steph and Cass aren't immediately* accounted for in Continuity 3.0.

*(I mean, there's bound to be a writer somewhere who's introduce them as cameos for the sake of nostalgia, right? And then they can slip back into canon! I know, I know, keep on dreaming.)

My exception is if DC writes existing characters as lgbtq. I'll stick around then. Gotta encourage diversity, and it'll be a very welcome change.

Yes. Though I think this is giving Didio and the others too much credit. I don't think they're able of this level of understanding the consequences and implications of their decision, and I'm not saying that to be glib; I really don't think they get that decisions of fiction reflect on reality.

She didn't cope easily; she had to struggle against inconvenience and pain. But she damned well succeeded, and succeeded admirably. And she became the baddest badass EVER.
One of the best summaries of Barbara I've read in a long time, I feel.
