Which is just baffling.<br />I mean, the same creators work for Marvel, so it -should- be easy for DC to keep things on track and, yet, they don't.Andrew Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13964775673414653644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8586403344533829376.post-39757225664647421292020-07-02T13:35:01.865-04:002020-07-02T13:35:01.865-04:00Which is really too bad.

I love the extremely hokey origins of the character concept. However, I would agree that the concept got spread too thin. It's a strong argument for the superiority of a simple premise... Spider-Man, for instance.The Armchair Squidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509001761075530940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8586403344533829376.post-76361026687682508172020-07-02T12:42:39.404-04:002020-07-02T12:42:39.404-04:00TAS: Green Lantern, as a comic, went to Hell when ...TAS: Green Lantern, as a comic, went to Hell when they moved the focus to the Corps.Andrew Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13964775673414653644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8586403344533829376.post-50841173799506573912020-07-02T09:30:41.342-04:002020-07-02T09:30:41.342-04:00I loved the Super-Friends growing up but I haven&#...I loved the Super-Friends growing up but I haven't explored the comics much at all. However, from what I've seen, same problem: way too many characters. The GL Corps is even worse. Even though I love the basic concept of the Corps, putting everyone in the same costume is decidedly unhelpful.The Armchair Squidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509001761075530940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8586403344533829376.post-45860463789338937892020-06-29T12:34:55.646-04:002020-06-29T12:34:55.646-04:00Yep, Spidey is the best.
