By the way, I agree GA and BC need a break. A break for goood. They aren’t fun anymore, their romance (IMO, one of best among DC character) was damaged because the writers needed to write Ollie as a bastard and now, Dinah, as a person who abandon people when they need her the most (why they did’t do that BEFORE “Cry for Justice”). I agree a romantic partnership has conflics, but, come on!

I’m sorry for the rant, but I’m annoyed for what they was done to one of my favorite characters.

As for Prometheus…I’m pretty sure that most governments would considering him a terrorist/mass murderer/war criminal. no one should be bothered by his death but the most super bleeding hearts.

What Ollie needs to do to get a featured article in Newsweek is to stop overcompensating with all this womanizing, and admit he’s a queen in more than surname.

Oh Frank, you just made my day. I’m now waiting for the axis to shift, frogs to fall from the sky, or for pigs to fly because we actually agree on something.

And there was one issue of Birds of Prey when Prometheus and Shiva face off. They had some banter back and forth. Prometheus bragging about his helmet, and how it has all the fighting skills of the best martial artists. Shiva talking about how she learns a new martial arts style every year or something, and could beat her former self. Prometheus served her up as she underestimated the helmet, and she bounced. I hated him then. But then he got all lame for awhile. They explained that away in Cry for Justice as an impostor.

Chuck Dixon kept using the term “mad-on” in his run of BoP. Like I’ve got a real mad-on for this guy, I’m gonna kick his ass. He had Dinah say it, and maybe Oracle too. No self-respecting woman would say that. It’s just weird.

Chuck Dixon’s Birds of Prey made me go sleepy time unless he was paired with an exciting artist like Gary Frank or Matt Haley. Simone was such a sea change, excelling despite Ed Benes’ cheesy work.

As for Green Arrow, I assume he’ll go to prison, so that they can pull a Kevin Smith’s Green Hornet on David Goyer’s unproduced Supermax screenplay. This Punisher-with-archaic-weaponry business isn’t going to fly. If Ollie really wants to get the attention of fandom, I think he should learn a lesson from his relatively recent foe, Dr. Light. That guy languished in obscurity for just about ever, only to become the talk of the town by retroactively raping Sue Dibny. What Ollie needs to do to get a featured article in Newsweek is to stop overcompensating with all this womanizing, and admit he’s a queen in more than surname. He can then apply a true deterrent to crime, the threat of sodomizing his many costumed foes. Let’s Ollie fire his Pink Arrow into the Dark Brown Eye of Malevolence, and everyone will be talking. Plus: no more jerking Dinah around!

Black Canary is so much more interesting than Green Arrow will ever be. I wish that writers would realize that and keep them away from each other for a good decade or two.

I didn’t read Cry for Justice because it looked terrible, but I can’t really call killing Prometheus murder. He’s murdered thousands of innocent people, so I can’t really see putting an arrow inside his brain as anything but justice.
