Here's the link to the story over at Bleeding Fool that gives their take on the story.
tl;dr: DC is trying to do like Marvel did where they're pushing a newer, younger, more "diverse" version of the heroes, but with the same names as the old ones, in their crossover event "Future State".
I'll let you read the story if you want, but here's some highlights:
-
Wonder Woman being replaced by a Brazilian woman
-
Batman will also likely be replaced with a diversity hire
-
From the promo art, it looks like The Flash is going to be replaced by a woman with prosthetic legs (I wish I was making this up)
-
Aquaman is getting replaced by Kaldur'ahm from Young Justice
Now, granted, this is only supposed to be for a couple months, but it has all the markings of a SocJus shit-show. Sadly, all the specu-leeches that still exist in the comics world will still snap these things up like a fat kid on a tray of cupcakes because ZOMG FIRST APPEARANCE, but we all know how well that goes for the market.
RIP DC comics. You were supposed to be the savior, but you turned out to be just as corrupt as Marvel did.
TBF, the good looking Brazilian women are hot AF, so I'll grant you that one. DC has gone for the dark Latina look, that way they can guarantee people know the new WW is a POC. Apparently being Wonder Woman is now a thing that gets passed around to people of Amazonian descent, kinda like being the Slayer was in the Buffy-verse. Let's hear it for swinging the retcon bat on that one.
