I dunno, I find his whininess relatable! And honestly just as whiney as any OTHER Robin I read(don't you DARE say Dick Grayson doesn't bring the whine every now and again-BECAUSE he does).

And I really disagree on...most fronts. I will admit the long standing continuity can be a turn-off-BUT-traaaaaaaaaaaaade paperbacks! Easy, affordable, simple! ALSO-DC is clearly winning on the comics front. Marvel is churning out comics out of their story mill and choking fans with terrible events comics such as Civil War 2, DC on the other hand is making stories with actually relatable and enjoyable characters. You just TELL ME Jessica Cruz isn't beloved!

FINALLY-the belief that the industry is dying is ludicrous in my opinion. Sure their catering to old fans but keep in mind-THESE CHARACTERS ARE SEVERAL DECADES OLD! There's gonna be in-jokes hear and there, but honestly I feel these new comics explain enough for new readers to catch up. I mean hell, I MISSED the death of Superman story and I'm able to read the new Superman comics fine! Doesn't mean it is good. Just because stealing from it is the purpose doesn't make it good.

I don't, it is pathetic that Jason still whines about the Joker to Batman after all these years. Yes, the other Robins do it, however it usually is for a good reason half the time. (e.g Bruce and Barbara)

These don't help. Once again, the comics are all sold in stores run by long time fans unfriendly to newcomers. I know this because of friends that have been to comic stores and going there myself when i didn't know about all this and was just wanting to learn about Iron Man more. DC and Marvel are going to lose if they entire comics genre dies. Jessica Cruz is relatable, yes. So is Ms. Marvel and Ri Ri Williams.

Many franchises can use decades old characters and still stay relevant. That is how these characters are doing well in the movies. It is just that the comics that made them in the first place are dying.
