Does the New 52 start a dangerous precedent with the tossing of past stories into the garbage? It seems like a lack of respect for the fans as well as a lack of respect for the characters. Take the new Batgirl #0 for example. It completely erases the entire history of the oracle. What kind of message does this send fans? How is this supposed to inspire confidence in the product? Who's to say if New 52 experiences poor sales down the line they won't just erase them from history to.

New 52 has a five year timeline, after which it will most likely be reverted back.

It's a reboot.

If the character histories were the same, we'd be reading rehashed storlines with the same characters. It wouldn't be worth out money.

So, no.

This is the kind of mentality that works against the integrity of comics as a form of storytelling. Don't complain when comics become a joke and Batgirl gets 12 new origins in the next 20 years.

Bad@ss NOW, earlier JOKE! Hes tha fish guy! he just being writen well

you're such a dumbass

The OP makes zero sense. Aquaman has been hardcore since Peter David's 1994 run. Why does everyone here pretend like the New 52 is the first time Aquaman has been done well?

Anyone a fan of horror movie comics? I just got the 6 run mini series of Friday the 13th from 2007 and was amazed. It was a nice change of pace from superheroes. I understand there are some comics based off Chucky from Child's Play and a Texas Chainsaw Massacre one. Anyone know if those are good? As both a horror movie buff and as a newcomer to comics finding these existed was quite a treat.

I understand that. But you just claimed New 52 made him cool when in fact Peter David's run in 1994 made him cool. The Superfriends jokes and negative perceptions died in the late 80s when Aquaman was re-written.

You two have no idea what your talking about. Peter David's Aquaman was awesome and hardcore. What is this nonsense that New 52 made Aquaman cool.

You're the one that clearly has no idea what he's talking about. No one said Aquaman wasn't cool, only that he was perceived by others as not being cool generally.

Your comment makes zero sense. If Aquaman has been well written and cool since the 90s what does New 52 have to do with his perception.

Because he was perceived as wimpy by others.

Why was he perceived as wimpy when he has been written hardcore for over 20 years?

Form VI: Niman is my choice. Its considered the diplomats lightsaber form. I see myself as less of a fighter and the form according to wookieepedia.com requires less training. It also is a jack of all trades style which I think is cool and flexible.
