Maybe DC Comics is finally learning that what made Marvel Comic characters so great was the "human" effect. Marvel characters all had real weaknesses, and "real life" issues to deal with especially with their alter egos. They were just more "believable" as people than Superman or Batman.

Thank you. That's what always drew me to Marvel characters. Peter Parker was Spiderman sure. But he had problems. Heck, even Ghostie had some problems that were real life. You may not have had superpowers but you could relate to them. Marvel has always been a better written comic. DC was well, just charactictures. You couldn't relate to a sulking millionaire down in a dungeon who saw things only in black or white nor could you sympathize with a character who nothing could destroy. I don't think anyone would have really missed Superman after a few years when he was 'killed off' back in the 1990s. Superman having problems that the average guy could face may be the best thing for the character
