But even with all its problems somehow I'd rather see a satisfying resolution to the story than just have it left unfinished and ignored.<BR/><BR/>Plus there's the whole DC policy on not having two characters with the same name that could be sorted once and for all by having Kimiyo take Arthur Light's power and remove a few body parts.<BR/><BR/>Not to mention that he is so overdue for a thorough and terminal asskicking. If Kimiyo can't do it then I just hope Kate Spencer runs into him.Marionettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06985975073151200366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14994365.post-1159787037959525782006-10-02T12:03:00.000+01:002006-10-02T12:03:00.000+01:00I like the interpretation that she was a tad over-...I like the interpretation that she was a tad over-violent and that Superman's comments have nothing to do with ongoing storylines or lakc thereof.<BR/><BR/>I also think it does more harm than good to pay attention to Winnick's hackery. bad stories literally go away from continuity if ignored enough.Chris Arndthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01321490069571209332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14994365.post-1159597111150888072006-09-30T07:18:00.000+01:002006-09-30T07:18:00.000+01:00Yeah.

And it's much more intruiging this way around. <BR/><BR/>Bats is for because she's scary and including her will "send a message" (that they condone something she has done, perhaps?) to "them" (the bad guys?). Wondy doesn't want to be associated with that message (= doesn't want the JLA to be seen to be condoning whatever it is that Kimiyo has done? Which, as you say, must be pretty bad coming from someone who will murder in cold blood if she thinks it necessary). Supes doesn't comment at all.<BR/><BR/>In fact the real joke here is that Wondy considers her too extreme but Batman doesn't. So she can't have killed the evil rapist bastard, but she's done something to him that makes Wonder Woman queasy<BR/><BR/>What <B>has</B> Kimiyo been up to?Marionettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06985975073151200366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14994365.post-1159519945270947992006-09-29T09:52:00.000+01:002006-09-29T09:52:00.000+01:00Isn't Wonder Woman the red caption boxes?
