exactly.  Just because I think Larry is a good actor, and can do Perry well. Doesn't mean I can't see how pointless it is at the same time.  not too long ago rumors were floating that Eddie Murphy was going to play Riddler, and that Will Smith was going to play Steve Rogers. And both said basically the same thing, that even if the rumors were true that they would turn it down, because the characters are white.

I said He will be good.  I'm not debating that.  But if a character has already existed for years, why change the race? it's pointless. the change being pointless was my whole point. it serves no purpose, it doesn't further the plot or make the story any better.

So many racist little fanboys, so little opportunity to spew their garbage. They must just be loving the opportunity to play the poor oppressed white-male over the last couple of days. Enjoy, guys! Unfortunately the casting of persons of color isn't something that happens every day.

Love triangles are almost always told in repetitive, dull ways that we've seen play out a thousand times before. I don't think they are 100% horrible plots but it's pretty damned close.
 
I think that if the writer manages to not just make it about waffling objects of desire and posturing competitors then maybe, just maybe, they can work. Love triangles can be interesting if there's a bond between all three parties involved. If it's solely about two people lusting after one person and having that one person ~torn~ between the two... then it's really just dull and done to death.
 
If the writers can manage to remember that there are three people involved and that there are three relationships at play and to tell the story of all three then sometimes you've got a compelling story to tell.
 
Most of the time, however, it's just your typical lazy plot device.

I'm only on Ultimate Spider-Man #64 so far, so it's going to be a while before I get there but I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with the story.

Hideous. Probably the worst piece of cover art I've seen come out of the new 52 so far.
 
Babs is completely right that Wonder Woman looks like a Bratz Doll. She looks ridiculous, way too small and like she's part of Young Justice and just strolled in to get her picture taken with the rest of the constipated-looking dudes behind her.
 
The Flash's face looks emaciated. I don't understand why Superman looks like an evil puppet master instead of heroically flying over them.
 
And Aquaman is off staring into the middle-distance like he's seriously trying to recall where he left his wallet.
 
Do not want.

@fodigg: The article is wrong though. Hera hasn't always been on the side of the Amazons. Hera almost completely destroyed Themyscira before. The goddess of discord, Eris, is Hera's daughter is certain myths and has been a Wonder Woman villain in the past. Ares is a Greek God and he's been a classic Wonder Woman adversary for forever. Wonder Woman has always gone through periods of time where she's been at odds with her pantheon or where they've flat out abandoned her or where she's been completely on their side.

I apologize for my inability to recall a point which Hera was at odds with Wonder Woman, specifically. I thought Hera was Diana's maker. When Hippolyta made Diana out of clay, she prayed to Hera while she molded her. Hera sympathized with Hippolyta.

In regards to Ares, (Gail Simone's story arc?) I remember that storyline, and I don't remember there being a contentious relationship between Diana and Hera. Wasn't it also Hera who initially shielded Themyscira from our society?
