If something was good 40 years ago it has to be good again?
Hey, 40 years ago Flash Thompson used to pick on Peter over in Spider-Man, maybe they should bring that back. Not that it will help move the characters forward in any way, but if it happened back then it should happen again today :)
MOA, please think about this:
With rare exception Superman is currently dealing with THE VERY same characters that he dealt with in his previous incarnations.
Or did you think John Byrne invented Lois Lane, Perry White, Jimmy Olsen and the Daily Planet? How about Lex Luthor, The Toyman, and any dozens of other bits directly imported from various ages?
They are somewhat updated or tweaked or in the case of Jimmy Olsen, lifted directly with no discernable changes.
The whole John Byrne reboot was, as you put it: A “rehash”… of previous concepts.
So I have NO Idea where you’re going with this.
