Yeah, you know what? I'm glad you're enjoying reading, and there is some promise, at least in Metropolis. Maybe one day I'll even be pleased about it all.

Just don't take me into the reboot.

Comments

[superwoman]

Ah, yes. The reboot. No one deserves that.

[wherethestoryis]

Not to say our family wasn't royally screwed before then, but--

[superwoman]

Royally screwed? That's an understatement.

[wherethestoryis]

'Cosmically screwed into the next millenium' sound better?

[arach_nerd]

I know that feel Lo.

[wherethestoryis]

Yeah, I heard about that. My mun was saying something about an editor's daughter.

[bodysings]

I'm pretty glad my mun stays away from all that crap. It's like the writers just grabbed all the old comics and waved a fuck-it-up wand over it.

[wherethestoryis]

Mine's avoided the Gotham stories like the plague--says she's terrified of what they've done to it. But Metropolis has been okay. ...mostly.

[viced]

Shit, who even wants to talk about that fucking reboot? Other than, you know, angry fans.

[wherethestoryis]

My mun's had a lot of fun with parts of it. And parts have been fun for me. But not today.

[viced]

Well, shit, at least there's some fun. Maybe I'm just set in my ways, but I don't think I could read it.

[wherethestoryis]

Something's always going to suck, there aren't enough good writers to go around.

[wing_of_night]

Yeah. I think it's kind of unanimous. The reboot just plain sucks.

[wherethestoryis]

My mun keeps saying no, it isn't unanimous--she and friends of hers have parts they like, and parts they don't. And I gotta agree. One guy nailed how my friendship with Clark and Jimmy works.

I'm just pissed that apparently being human isn't good enough these days.

[wing_of_night]

I hear that. But hey, come to Gotham sometime. I'll get Batman to set up my old training course. Before long you'll be throwing batarangs like second nature.

[Wink.]

[wherethestoryis]

He didn't let me at that when he was teaching me self-defense.

Way to dig for brownie points.

[andaway]

There is a couple of sings that are actually enjoyable in the reboot.

The way our relationship evolves... isn't one of them.

[wherethestoryis]

I know, right? I like what they did with our early years--when it was you, me, and Jimmy against the world.

But after...

[andaway]

Don't fix what isn't broken, Pa used to say. My mundane keeps on getting her hopes up every time we interact, but then there's the news...

[He sighs] I guess our love didn't bring in enough sales.

[wherethestoryis]

Yeah. The news. I heard that in at least one city it made the 'Celebrity News' section.

[She sighs too.] Yeah. 'Cause who wants to know about a stable, healthy, loving marriage.

[bodilesswarrior]

Mine won't even consider it.

Honestly, I'm glad.

[wherethestoryis]

My mun has opinions on what happened to you.

I'm kind of in a 'wait-and-see' mode.

[aceofkillers]

There's a twist. Never thought I'd hear a gal like yourself defendin' the new setup.

Me, I'm just glad there's no chance'a me ever steppin' foot into the new place.

[wherethestoryis]

My mun's really enjoying parts of it, so I guess they got something right? I'm a journalist, I'm supposed to be a little objective.

But parts of my life are pretty much screwed.

[aceofkillers]

Couldn't tell ya what they managed, my mun refuses t' touch the stuff on principle. Sorry to hear about your life goin' off the tracks though, Miz Lane.
