And any reviewer only speaks for themselves — but the good ones point out things readers appreciate and might agree with.

Trilogy? There was one big hardcover or the same story in two paperbacks. Where are you getting a series of three from?

Because, “a reference or two in the new narrative” is one or two too few for my peace of mind. The deleted scenes he talks about were crucial to the trilogy of graphic novels. And, I consider them just as crucial for any DVD adaptation.

So, not only will I most definitely “miss these scenes.” I’m afraid I’m going to miss the DVD all together..by leaving it unbought. And, I urge everyone reading this review to do the same!

That subplot is powerful because a little girl’s taught racism destroys a hero. Having some familiar white-guy hero say “racism is bad, kids” at no personal cost just doesn’t measure up. But I’m not sure I understand your point in this area.

The John Henry business was such a strain and a reach — you could have accomplished the same effect with Superman or one of the Golden Agers as the sounding board to much greater, integrated effect.

I am disappointed in the removal of both the Challengers and the Suicide Squad — the idea of “normal” humans bridging that gap is pretty fundamental to the whole book.

I wonder if there’s some “it’s a cartoon, it’s got to be for kids and funny” expectations going on.

Batman’s “penny for a book of matches” line. And, strangest of all, Diana’s arrival in the invisible jet.

Come to think of it, most of the Superman/Wonder Woman scenes got that kind of reaction.
