That's why you make sure you marry a geek! Money priorities... Plus I think there are probably lots more comic fans who are women than people realise. ;)

My best friend doesn't read all that many comics himself but really loves the Batman cartoon set in the future and quite likes the Brave and the Bold one, I think. He's been trying to get me to watch them for years. Honestly, I'm awful in that I don't want to find cartoons boring but I often do. My mind wanders so I don't watch that many of them if they're not like, self-contained movies. But I will bear this one in mind.

I think the reboot isn't really rebooting so much as...creating a new starting point? Shifting history a bit, redesigning, making a welcoming point for new readers?

I'm a bit confused though because it seems that most of Batman's history is going to remain intact - all of the previous Robins are still doing what they were before, and even Damian Wayne - who's a very recent addition to the DCverse, relatively speaking - is going to be around. Whereas Superman apparently there are "lots of changes" including a rumour he'll no longer be married to Lois. Which makes me sad, cus I love Superman and don't really want him shifted around a lot to be more "interesting" because I think a lot of people find him boring for his perfection, but I really like him as it is.

Which reminds me, I think it's interesting to hear that it's the campy weirder side of DC that appeals to you as mainly a Marvel fan. It makes sense though because it's the serious more "boring" nature of the DC universe that means I like it more than Marvel. I can't really explain why, I just like that it seems more weighty and serious, even when it's doing really ridiculously daft stuff. ;)

Thanks for that link - it really IS a tragedy there's no video of it.
