@Vandy I always found their incessant need to have her in a miniskirt and crop top annoying.
For more reasons than the obvious of them using it for male audiences. I mean surely it's as impractical as anything.
@Vandy I think it's probably because I find the character to be completely redundant. I'm sure there's a coherent and compelling argument for why she's not (which Eddie is typing up furiously) but I've never felt she brings anything particularly necessary to the Superman mythos.

Well, they're separate universes, so it's gonna be a one-time crossover between their Earths.
EDIT: @Vandy I can't help throwing shade. I'm like Cloak that way. Although you can't deny that it is a better Super-family offering. After all, MoS' Kara died in a prequel comic, so we're not gonna see her anytime soon.
I don't think I've ever been as disinterested in any character as much as I am in Supergirl.
Every single adaptation of the character has left me completely cold.

The first episode is... rough. Things start slowly trending upwards after that. It has its cringe from time to time, but it's a far better Super-family offering than we're getting in theaters.
@Vandy isn't he? I find him hilarious.
All this talk of priests and chaplains and I'm sat here like:
It's a sad world where Supergirl's Maxwell Lord is a better Lex Luthor than the one we're getting on the big screen. (Not to disparage Supergirl, either. It's turned out to be a pleasant surprise among DC's live action offerings.)
That moment when in chapel at your Christian school the teacher talks about justice and absolutely nails Superman's essence while simultaneously getting Batman and Iron Man's so completely and utterly wrong.
Gah.

Quiet you! I am talking in this Universe. Don't change the subject.
KLex Luthor everybody. Copying Tony Starks Suit, building a techno-skyscraper like the Fantastic Four/Tony Stark, being Lawfully Evil like Doctor Doom.
Is there any originality? Luthor is obviously just one big copycat.

Searching for Justice League is cheating :P
Though I'll leave it to a vote.
I'm not a huge fan of Morrison.
Charles Soule is great and Jason Aaron's independent work is even better than his work for Marvel. Everyone check out Southern Bastards if you haven't already. I think the nearest to a "favourite" writer I have is Mark Waid. And the closest I have to a least favourite writer is definitely Bendis. I cannot stand him, the way he writes, or the fact Marvel force him onto every single big title.
