Is this the End of The Flash?!?

it seems to be killing the Wonder Woman reboot as well.

I'm hoping someone like Kurt Busiek or Grant Morrison will hop on board the title for an extended run, but that doesn't seem likely.

There seems to be a Superhero meets CSI angle that I feel like no one is really picking up the ball on with Bart following in his grandfather's footsteps as a forensics analyst.

Gail Simone is coming on to write WW, so that should fix the reboot and the stability issues.

Gail Simone is coming on to write WW, so that should fix the reboot and the stability issues.

Is that officially announced? If so, fantastic. Birds of Prey and Secret Six/Villians United are both excellent in her hands.

Hopefully she can make some sense of things coming out of all these OYL, Countdown and Amazons Attack scenarios that has just been thrown into the mix (seemingly at random). Already in the short run of the book we have Donna as Wonder Woman only to hop off that train onto Countdown, Agent Diana Prince, and now the return of Hippolyta and the Amazons. Looks like a mess to me.

On the other hand, I'm astounded by the prose-fanbase that Jodi Picoult has. So here is hoping that those readers might stick around for Simone's run.

The Birds of Prey TV Series

I've just been rewatching this show because I am still a huge fan of Dina Meyer.

I'm just struck by the wasted potential of this program. When it debuted, it had HUGE ratings. Dina Meyer was perfectly cast, you had a great Alfred, and I thought Mia Sara made a pretty decent Harley Quinn. The actresses playing Huntress and Young Black Canary were passable. The sets were pretty impressive, particularly the Clocktower. You had great fan-boy moments with Black Canary I and Clayface showing up. Pretty decent stunts and special effects for TV.

It's too bad the writing was so bad.

why they cancelled birds of prey and renewed smallvile is beyond me

I think the BoP's TV series biggest problem was that they didn't know what to really do with the Huntress character. Every episode it seemed she learned her lesson, that being a solemn, headstrong, loner wasn't the way to go. But by the next episode's beginning, she was back to being the same pain in the neck. The actress wasn't strong enough to lead a series either. Meyer as Oracle was pitch perfect though, and Lori Laughlin as Black Canary was great. The actress playing her daughter wasn't the best though. I think if they had done the series like the comic, with Meyer as Babs and Laughlin as Dinah, it may still be on.

Simone is leaving Birds of Prey to go to Wonder Woman...

Wally was the best Flash. I think bringing Barry back would soil what he died for back in the day. I got the first 4 issues of the current Flash and I hated it.

Bart was awesome as Impulse. I have the entire run of Impulse. Issue 3 is one of my all time favorite comic stories. All he had to do was make a new friend at school and instead started a riot among the other kids over who got to beat him up first.

Also, I will never buy another DC comic with the word Crisis in it or mention on the cover. They're beating a dead and decayed horse into more decay. I hear after "Countdown" they're doing "Final Crisis".
