But it doesn't look promising at this late date. <br /><br />As always I enjoyed Carol's comments and found them right on. I can just hear the higherups at DC replying, "What do we mean implying we're sexist? Just because we've changed all the attributes that made our heroines unique and empowering, that doesn't mean we don't like women. After all, we've put them all our superheroines in ugly costumes with pants and pants healeth all wounds!"Sheldon Talbotnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392489189136721402.post-16892124698629503562011-06-23T13:07:50.071+01:002011-06-23T13:07:50.071+01:00Cheers Jules, I suppose the UK map must be changin...Cheers Jules, I suppose the UK map must be changing day to day.

Wonder Woman has been ruined, Supergirl is being made bratty (again), and Lois and Clark are breaking up. The higher ups at DC are clueless, imho. It looks like I'll be looking for a new hobby come September, as I can't see a single change in the new DC that I can even stomach.

However, I think you missed a vital point on the silhouette panel. Who would wear such a chunky heel with that evening gown?
