Well... that makes sense.
THIS is how I would've started the line (as shown above):
I think the only difference between what *you're* saying and what *I* proposed from the start (way before this particular thread), is that my choices have more "pop" than FTC's choices (and still address your provisions), and are not "different" than your provisions either.
Batman characters? Check.
Superman characters. Check.
Easily recognizable. Check.
"Everyone here" does NOT imagine that a character like Hawkman can be in a wave without other, more 'mainstream' characters early on. Not me anyway. I'm not unwise enough to pin a dream on such an unwise financial choice. But, more pertinently, I really wonder if *anyone* here really IS that unsophisticated? Personally, I went so far as to make a wave release list to diagram how I see a character like Hawkman let into the line. I can't see how much clearer I could be. But, I don't think that aspect is that important, really, because, as said already, I don't think anyone wants a Hawkman-type centered wave of releases. Four JLAers 11 waves in? (WAVE ELEVEN: Hawkman, Hawkgirl, Martian Manhunter, Black Canary) Sure. But by that time, I could see the line ending... I'd be fine with that, cause the character selection would have been better distributed in my personal opinion. 4 years and 46 characters is good enough for me... I wouldn't even mind only three waves a year with my way of release, but I said that already. Truth is though, I'd even have handled a slower release with a first four wave plan like: w1. Batman, Robin, Joker, Penguin w.2 Riddler, "Pirate" Catwoman, Commissioner James Gordon, Scarecrow w.3 RC Batman, RM Robin, Mr. Freeze, Ra's Al Ghul w.3 Superman, Bizarro, Batgirl, Two Face
