Everyone keeps their history except the people they considered problematic. I am

What's Kirax's campaign? because I am up for anything that protests the loss of steph and cass, my two favorite DCU characters.

I get filled with massive amounts of rage whenever I think about how DC took away the Steph Brown book and then made her disappear. Fuck you, DC, and how much you apparently hate every lady character you have.

On the other hand, Tiny Titan's Batgirls issue is A+ and features Stephanie Brown as both Batgirl and Robin.

Oddly, despite all the horrible, horrible, treatment...I still like DCU better than Marvel. Somehow, I feel like DC heroes are less misogynistic than Marvel and in retrospect, it BLOWS MY MIND.

I know it's taken me forever to get back to this comment, but I was in a crying angry rage for...months. Now I'm just ragey and refusing to buy all the Batman comics and rapidly leaning towards dropping Supergirl too if they don't do something other than torture her. Did they really need to start all the Super story archs with everyone getting tortured in government facilities?

UGH, KOL-EL, THE THINGS I DO TO ENSURE YOU NEVER GET KILLED OFF AGAIN.

Yeah. And we still have Barbara Gordon, but we don't have Oracle, and Oracle mattered a HUGE amount to me.

I know it's been ages, but I still feel serious rage when I think about how the Birds of prey have been essentially dismantled for NOTHING.
