I liked New-52 Earth-2 well enough – before they reintroduced brainwashed Superman, Thomas Wayne as murderous Batman, sexbot Lois Lane and technopath Jimmy Olsen. Mostly I was drawn to Earth-2’s concept as JS Earth instead of JL main Earth and was curious what would heroes do without Big Three on front lines. Now I just “meh” about this title.

yup. they should have either just sent Power Girl and Huntress back or introduced Icon, Wildcat, Maxine Hunkel as Red Tornado etc instead of bringing in rehashes of the Trinity.
@sanohibiki: Yeah thanks for spoiling a shit tone of stuff...
Sorry about spoilering, but I thought that all this was already known.
We learned about Super and Lois a couple of issues ago, there was plenty of rumors about Thomas Wayne being Batman and I kinda assumed that there already passed enough time for everyone interested to buy recent Earth-2 issue.

You probably are telepath – because you’re reading my thoughts right now.
Yes!! I love this series. I still love it despite all the things mentioned here. Yet I'm sure i'd love it more if Robinson had stayed on and not done all this.
It's a good book, however it isn't the replacement for a JSA book like we were expecting before it came out. At the very least, James Robinson was trying to make it about JSA heroes (in name only, though). Now, I fear that Batman will become a mainstay on this book and overshadow everyone else like he has the last few issues.

But Robinson is the one who brought Batman and Superman back.

Would've been a bit fun to see the reintroduced Batman and Superman turning out to be Batwoman and Superwoman though, with Huntress and Power Girl taking up the mantels of their teachers.

i disagree. i prefer their unique identities of Huntress and Power Girl but thats just my opinion.
