Are people here really expected that DC should have rebooted their entire line and then written all of their comics so that the average 9 year old kid's over protective mom would not be offended?

Isn't that... stupid?

1. Comics haven't been targeted towards 9 year olds since 1940.

2. Writing "down" to kids results in a lot more crap a lot than writing for everyone and letting kids embrace it if they want to.
Look at Star Wars. The first 3 movies were not written to kids. The 2nd three were. Which ones are better?

Anyone that complains "_____ wasn't like that when I was a kid..." has officially become an old fuddy. Congratulations. You are now your parents.
