That doesn't even make sense. Why bother having J'onn then in the movie if you're not going to have him in his Martian form most of the time? It's his most comfortable and natural form, unlike the human characters in the movie.

Because other peoples comfort is more important to him.

The first human being that saw John in the comics had a heart attack and died.

Besides, the Martian form he's adopted for the most part is just what he thinks humans expect Martians to look like and nothing at all what he looks like... Although with the new 52 who can tell for sure how all that transitioned, Survived? And that was probably just something someone invented in the 80s anyways when they revamped the character.

Well... in the COMICS. It can be changed for the movie.

The archetype will awlays be important.

The flavour of the day is a wisp in the wind.

The New 52 is not going to last any longer than the reboot from Final Crisis did.

I lost faith in reboots.

Although Zero Hour and Final Crisis just rattled the DCU.

Nothing like the new 52 has happened since the Original Crisis.

these things are happening successively more frequently.

What bothers me most about the Flashpoint/nu52 reboot, other than the fact that I thought the comics were really great and didn't need it, was that it was a half-assed job. DC should've known that you can't have your cake and eat it too. They did a good job with a fresh restart after COIE, and I enjoyed some of the Silver Age elements brought back through Infinite Crisis.

The problem was that there was no editorial control or singular vision. (Thanks, Didio!)

I read somewhere that Infinite Crisis was originally going to be a full-on reboot, including new #1s. Essentially, what didn't happen after COIE. This would have been the way to go. Granted, I'm a HUGE Batman fan and love much of the post-COIE stories, but if you're going to do a reboot, you have to go all the way.

Instead, we have this half-ass business with a Bruce Wayne who's supposedly younger, but who has had FOUR Robins, one of whom is his son. Not to mention that somehow, Batman Inc. also happened.

One of the hopes I had was that Batman Inc and most of Morrison's stuff would have been erased. Hell, all of it, really. The only stuff Morrison's done that I really love is his JLA work and All-Star Superman. He went far into left-field with his Batman work.

Hopefully, the failure (inevitable?) of the New 52 will lead to an editorial cleansing, and the new regime will go balls-deep with a reboot that starts everything over from scratch.

Sadly, though, I'm not sure a lot of people will care enough for another reboot.

Morrison's run like it or love it...was selling too well for DC to not ignore or discontinue it, which is why they brought Scott Snyder onboard to do his own stuff. I agree about the point of how Batman, Inc even exists now, as the main motivating factor for it has been "erased" thanks to Final Crisis not existing any more. Bruce's entire motivation is gone, and he has a "missing year" which hasn't been dealt with in the book. The condescended timeline is the biggest problem I have had with the New 52, it just makes no sense. Another thing is that it makes the DCU much smaller than it was before. One of the things I loved about the DCU was how big it was. I've mentioned many of the problems I've had with the New 52 in the New 52 thread over the course of the last year.

The new 52 is quite successful for DC, the books are selling better than ever... So, while you think it might be a creative failure, in the long run, the only thing that matters is the business side of it. And that has been good.
