Quote: Funny how you use the exact same examples as before. I already said those are the exceptions. For every lasting change there's 300 changes that last one story arc.
Those 300 "changes" you'e talking about (for example, Wallace West the Dark Flash or Azrael replacing Batman) are not that, they are story arcs, they're not supposed to be long term.
Just because those tend to outnumber the long term changes doesn't mean that long term change doesn't exist.
You're confusing story arc ideas with actual, real change.
You call it the exception but that's not what it is. What it is is the change I'm trying to make you realize does exist in comics.
Grimm implied... no, downright said that I shouldn't expect long term change in comics and he' s wrong.
Change does happen and when it's real change that the characters have grown into (Clark and Lois getting married)or been pushed into (Barbara being shot) then it's permanent (or long term, however you wanna call it).
Comics are like a Rorschach test; everyone has a different opinion on what they are and can be...
