I think I'm almost more offended by this than by them turning Oracle back into Copying-Off-A-Guy-Hero-Because-I-Can't-Be-My-Own-Person-and-Also-Cripples-Are-Losers-Girl. Certainly it's well up there on the list of "WTF, DC?"
My decision to cancel all my DC comics subscriptions has not yet caused me any regret.
This reminds me of when they prettied up Marrow -- step by stepp they stripped her of her ugliness till she was pretty and boring, and promptly vanished from the comics shortly there after.
Apparently a female character allowed to be both prominent and ugly. She can be ugly if it's funny and she's only recurring, but not like Waller, apparently.
Waller's not even ugly. She's overweight, but that's not the same thing as ugly. Now, by comics standards, she's ugly, but so is any woman who is not 5'6", blonde, Liefeld-thin, with ginormous tits, and always shows her ass to the reader in every shot possible.
There are so many things about the DC universe that could actually do with some changing, but— no, let's get rid of Oracle, give Tim Drake wings, and make Amanda Waller thin and pretty!!
And now it's like... none of Waller's origin makes any SENSE.
She CAN'T be a widower with two dead and four surviving children who she pushed to get out of the projects and through college and then got her own degree and discovered the suicide squad because SHE'S NOT OLD ENOUGH TO HAVE DONE ANY OF THAT
Rofl, that's like when they made Lady Deadpool (and no other Deadpool) lose her hideous scarred skin in Deadpool Corps for literally no reason at all halfway through.
HOW DARE YOU SUGGEST THERE BE A FEMALE CHARACTER IN COMICS THAT ISN'T SPANK MATERIAL DON'T YOU KNOW THAT BOYS READ COMICS That's all they care about, right? Right??
