great, just what we need!
more controversy!!

i think LESS controversy would be nice for a change?

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

More controversial than Babs getting her legs back?

Hmmmm...

They've killed Batman tons of times, nothing new or controversial there...

[CyberCubed]

I'm willing to bet its a longtime character being revealed to be gay. That's the kind of controversy they go for these days.

I would'nt be surprised if it's a full on Lois Lane heel turn actually. They've been experimenting with that in the darkly humoured JL 3001 title, they had Lois out Clark's secret in "Truth" and the solits for future comics say her life is changed forever by the next Superman event.

Not to mention pre-flashpoint Supes and Lois are going to hang around, so there would still be a "good" Lois for readers who want their hand held.

But they can't do it with anyone TOO major lest it actually be of real controversy.

So no homosexual Bruce Wayne or Clark Kent, but possibly... I dunno, Dick Grayson?

[CyberCubed]

They'll do it with a supporting character like Tim Drake or someone.

Oho... that's actually a fairly decent theory, given that the New 52 has done absolutely jacksh!t with him so far.

Sorry, Stephanie Brown, Tamara Fox, Cassandra Cain, and Cassandra Sandsmark, but he's just not that into you.

[myconius]

well they already killed Superman, they killed Batman, they killed Robin...

maybe they'll kill Wonder Woman?

[CyberCubed]

We may also get something like the first black robin. They'll do their version of Miles Morales.

I believe they already did something like that back in the 90s.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Cubed, STOP giving these hacks ideas!! We don't need another Miles. Heck we didn't need the FIRST one.

They HAD to have done that... they killed Batman and Superman in the same decade at the same time, how did they not kill off Wonder Woman, too?

Duke Thomas, man. Black Robin is already happening, just not in full continuity... I actually wouldn't mind seeing him get an official role on the Bats team. Although leading the Robins Gang was pretty cool.

Hey now, Miles was actually one of the best characters to come from Marvel in a long time. At least in my opinion anyway.

[myconius]

i thought Luke Fox was DC's rip-off version of Miles Morales?

Damian is staying Robin, and if Duke does become a costume they've shown him in the future as Sparrow.

When was that? The brief hallucination from "Endgame"?

Let's be honest here- Miles is Peter 2.0, or maybe the "Made in...." knockoff version. Seriously. His backstory is an "inspired by" second-hand version of Parker's own, with hero-worship overtones. As a character he really doesn't bring anything new to the table. What I've seen of him is just pretty much a retread of Peter for an inclusive young "new hero new spin" generation. YMMV, but I find him boring and far too trend-chasing for the sake of "diversity" as a character. Much like a certain OTHER "new" character in an older hero's mantle. (*cough Ms. Marvel cough*)

Controversial? That was the only thing I liked that came out of the New 52.

Not to mention his method of despatching virtually every overpowered enemy with a venom blast is starting to turn his title into a running joke.
