¿Adam Hughes y la portada de Batgirl?


Lo bueno, es una ilustración de Adam Hughes (no me terminan de convencer los guantes pero meh...), lo malo es que con esto una de las mejores historias de Batman -The Killing Joke- ¿Se borra y se tiene que olvidar? 
Esto si es grave ya que estamos hablando de algo peor que revivir a Jason Todd o hacer que Batman tenga un hijo estúpido y asesino (¿Stewie?) con Talia. SE TENDRÍA QUE PENSAR QUE NUNCA SUCEDIÓ...

GAIL SIMONE ON BARBARA GORDON’S RETURN TO BATGIRL


Monday, June 6th, 2011
By Austin Trunick
Writer Gail Simone sent us a few words about today’s BATGIRL #1 announcement:
“Barbara Gordon is pretty much my everything. Because of the Batman TV show, she was the reason I fell in love with superheroes. Because she was a redhead who could kick ass, she is the reason I fell in love with comics. She was always forward-looking as Batgirl, a girl who was smarter than the male characters, who had class and elegance and style, as well as tough-as-nails grit. For a long time, there was simply nothing else like her in comics, and for me and a lot of other readers, her every appearance was joyful and explosive.
For many years, I got to write the character as Oracle, and there is to this day, no character who means more to me. This is classic Barbara as she was originally conceived, with a few big surprises. It’s a bit of a shock, to be sure, but we’re doing everything we can to be respectful to this character’s amazing legacy, while presenting something thrilling that a generation of comics readers will be experiencing for the first time…
…Barbara Gordon leaping, fighting, and swinging over Gotham. Now, when citizens of that city look up, they are going to see BATGIRL.
And that is absolutely thrilling.”
Whatever...

Oh Dios, apenas me está cayendo el 20 sobre todo lo que están a punto de hacer en DC. Quizá si me lo suavizaran diciendo que va a ser algo así como "Heroes Reborn" en Marvel, estaría menos preocupado.

No creo que cometan el terrible pecado de borrar sus propios logros (como Killing Joke, por mencionar tu ejemplo), no pueden ser tan estúpidos. Eso espero...
