Quote: thedoctor said: I think this is DC trying to appease their Silver Age fans without having to create more continuity. I think it'll work (as I've been under the impression for a while that it's something they need to do) and will give Morrie's book a shot. Might pick up Lee's depending on who's writing.
While I on the other hand think this is DC yet again trying to do everything half-assed.
Why is it that every time they have the opportunity, they punk out on actually starting a fresh new continuity?
What this sounds to me sounds suspiciously like 'Legends of the Dark Knight', Elseworlds, or one of the aforementioned Dini/Ross tabloid comics.
Now why would I want to bother with one-off stories that matter not to the character or his *ahem* continuity.
Not that I want it to remain firmly in the present continuty either, mind you. I'd rather they actually do a real Ultimate style reboot and not waste time doing endless one-off stories that aern't grounded in anything but the creators whims.
