Go here. And read this.
I'm still smarting about the comment about how Ollie was only important because of his connection to other characters. False. I do feel that he had some great relationships going on (how dare they talk about pairing him with a Green Lantern OTHER than Hal?) but he was more than that. (And I LOVED him with Black Canary, as we are all aware. I thought it was a well developed, realistic relationship that had plenty to work with after they were together. The will-they, won't-they that happens so often in comics ((COUGH COUGH BATMAN AND CATWOMAN COUGH SNORT CHOKE)) gets old real quick.) Plus, the realistic nature of those relationships cannot be overlooked.
And what about that whole "the core of the character is self-doubt" thing? I'm not sure I buy that.
I don't know.
Thoughts? Reed? Anyone?

Not even Wonder Woman supports this
Yes. I mean this:
I was rereading GREEN ARROW/BLACK CANARY: THE WEDDING ALBUM
remembering how characters used to be together after years and years and years of character development and, after the announcement of Ollie's impending marriage to Dinah, we get this little gem of conversation between Superman and Wonder Woman:
Wonder Woman: It'll weaken them.
Superman: Marriage weakens people?
WW: That's not what I... Clark, I didn't mean to imply --
SM: Then what?
WW: I don't doubt that they're meant to be together. But it doesn't mean that they should be together. It just worries me is all. I'm not sure people like them... People like us... should marry other people like us. We should be with people who are an oasis. Who live outside this life. Like what you did.
SM: I think they're going to great.
WW: Of course you do, Clark.
I included the last two lines cause I love how adorable Superman is.
BUT DID YOU READ THAT? WONDER WOMAN JUST SAID WHAT I SAID IN THAT POST I MADE ABOUT HOW MUCH I HATE SUPERMAN AND WONDER WOMAN BEING TOGETHER. I totally agree with her. She knows what up. Clark belongs with Lois. End of story. Thank you. Have a good day.
Yet another reason I'm not liking the new 52. Maybe I should make a list of reasons. Somewhere near the top:
You're as horrible as I remember.

You were so happy once.

You never get any prettier.

Red Robin. YUM! (Except no because I hate this.)
Tim looks so freaking stupid in this it makes me feel physical anger. Cool. NOT. I HATE YOU.
