more evidence of the new52 being a bitchmade "reboot" that pussied out of actually deleting everything prior
the New 52 was a very sloppy reboot, especially if you try to take a close look at Batman and Green Lantern. It's supposed to be a complete reboot yet they also have the 25+ years of previous continuity be a "pseudo-canon" squished into 5 years, they tried to have their cake and eat it too. The first issue of New 52 Green Lantern literally picks up right after War of the Green Lanterns as if there wasn't a reboot at all. The complete Johns run of Green Lantern from 2005 to 2011 is completely canon yet they don't explain how Blackest Night and Brightest Day can fit into the fold of the New 52, if everything else in Johns' Green Lantern run is canon then Blackest Night would have to be too, as well as Green Lantern Rebirth, Hal Jordan's Spectre arc, Rayner's GL run from the 90s, Emerald Twilight, and it goes on and on. It just doesn't make any sense. It's the same deal with Batman except as said in the quoted post, they actively changed things with Batman in confusing ways, like Harley Quinn's origin, while keeping other things exactly the same.
The most frustrating thing about Harley Quinn ever since the New 52 is how obsessed the writers of DC are with making her a "anti-hero". This ruins the character to me personally, and they do the same shit with Poison Ivy. An abuse victim can't be a villain, who cares about a tragic character, that's offensive, she's gotta be a stronk female hero! Poison Ivy cares about plants and mother nature, it's offensive making that an evil character, she's gotta be a stronk female hero! Harley and Ivy were friends in the previous canon? Well obviously they're really lesbians, girls can't be just normal friends with each other, are you stupid? And obviously if they're lesbians then they have to have a fart fetish that's a proud and major part of their character.
Just endless freakshow shit. The writers of this shit are more mentally fucked than pre-New 52 Joker and Harley Quinn combined. The New 52 wasn't even all bad, not by any stretch of the imagination. There's so many stories in there that were great and could only be told through some kind of reboot. But knowing now the spiral of insanity and pure mental illness that these DC writers keep injecting into these stories, it makes me sick lol. I never even gave a shit about Harley Quinn to tell you the truth, but making a fart fetish porn book after they had Superman get literally ass raped by some Russian guy in his book is two strikes too many. DC is done forever. I'll stick to old books for the rest of my life.
