The Worst Bit of the New 52

I have to say, the cancellation of Mister Terrific is not coming as a shock. I always enjoyed Michael Holt in the JSA, and was really looking forward to this series. Alas, he went from being the quietly badass third smartest man in the world to a guy who spouted lines like this:

Then he does it again in issue four:

How horribly cliche.

Congratulations DC: You managed to take one of the few heroes with no blackspliotation tones and turn him into one of the crowd. That’s as bad as, I dunno, deciding to make a Batman of Africa, like it’s this one tiny place or like that’s the only place that can have a black Batman.

Oh wait.

Typical Comic Book Scientific Method

“Hey, this strange thing in the bottom of a crater looks like a hat. I think I’ll put it on!”

Because, as always in comic books, what is the worst that can happen?
