Holy shit, Jig just dropped this information on me...I can't believe he didn't love me enough to think this was more than general comic discussion..! :hypno: :p

From what I gather, this is probably going to be more drastic then they are letting on...What I'm not entirely sure about, is the direction...I don't know how or why you reboot anything, especially things so ingrained in pop culture, without making drastic changes...
I couldn't even begin to imagine Superman taking on personality traits more likely to be associated with Bruce Wayne as opposed to the whole mild mannered CK deal...Maybe he's still a nice guy...But wouldn't hesitate to call someone a motherfucker if they cut him off in traffic...And use his heat vision to melt their exhaust pipe...Maybe Batman is a teetering addict, not dealing well with his parents deaths and on the verge of chaos at all times...Maybe the Flash can develop OCD like Monk...I'm excited..!
