This wasnt Lobdell's fault at all, this time (although he is to blame for the shitty dialog). Benjamin Percy was supposed to be writing this story and left randomly part of the way through. But this is totally a Didio decision.

The rumors that he hates the legacy characters have to be true after this and the HiC deaths.

I can't hate Didio, one he allowed this to happen. And 2 he doesn't care for Cassandara Cain. The man has some good points

I can't accept this, if this is rammed through then it's only a matter of time before they come for Dick Ryder.

They really, really should have just called him Richard or Rick.

"Ric" makes him sound like some trust-fund dweeb who likes to brag about his watch collection on Instagram.

Do they really think that people are gonna just accept this?

They might as well change Superman's name to Mark Kent. It's just not gonna stick.

Remember when Bruce was changed to David in the hulk tv show because Bruce was considered a homosexual name?

I am not sure how you get 'Dick' from 'Richard' anyway, unless you ask him really nicely

On the plus side, DC is letting Bendis create a new Young Justice comic featuring all of the classic team. Using Tim Drake Robin, not this Ric douche.

No sir, I will never give that man props.

Would much rather have Johns just take the reigns, but he probably makes way too much money to accept the position.

Seems dumb...what about kids who are actually called Dick and like the fact there's a superhero who share the same name as them?

It won't stick as well good luck trying to get it to stick with the fans.

I remember watching that, it was dumb reason.

They just don't want to deal with the negative connotations anymore

Next up: DC Comics gets renamed to RC Comics

Isn't just because he has amnesia or is it a permanent change? Terrible either way.
