A few more occurred to me.
Superman has never been lame. People just got cynical.
Barbara Gordon should have stayed Oracle. She felt stronger without her legs than he ever has with them.
Doom Patrol is Grant Morrison's peak.
Two-Face, not The Joker, should be Batman's arch nemesis. He was a former ally, and his disfugurement makes him a literal mirror of Bruce's internal struggles with duality.

Here's a big hot take.
As much as I love the X-Men, people who can literally reduce you to a pile of atoms by looking at you funny don't make the best analogues to real world minority groups. Like... who WOULDN'T be terrified of Magneto or Sabretooth?

I’d much rather see her in that role |

I’d much rather see her in that role I think one of the biggest issues with Babs as Batgirl is she's entirely too old for the role at this point. Oracle was her way of graduating like Dick did with Nightwing. Having her go back to being Batgirl always felt like a regression (and incredibly ableist to boot). |

Mad Hatter is underutilized. It's kinda bullshit that Baby Doll and to a much lesser extent Red Claw didn't also go from B:TAS to the comics like Harley did. Baby Doll would be absurdly easy to adapt in various ways, and Red Claw was just kinda neat. I think the problems with Baby Doll are that it's kind of impossible to do a fight scene with her without just feeling uncomfortable and in terms of her specific hangup she's kind of just good for the one story. Is probably why even her second BtAS episode while it's not really bad is largely forgettable. Speaking of underutilized BtAS villains, I think Calendar Girl has an absolute ton of potential to do further stories with. You could milk the concept of that character a lot but no one's ever really made the attempt. |

That and she's kinda, if you think about it, an allegory for Gary Coleman's condition...and with Gary no long with us... |

Okay this isn't a comic book opinion per say, but now that Disney owns both species. We need to see Xenomorphs fight The Brood.

Season four, it's a team-up of her and Croc. She has a different voice and a very different design so honestly it's barely even identifiable as her but it's an okay episode in its own right, has its moments. |

The Teen Titans with Damien Wayne is actually a great story that does a much better job of writing Damien than any other title.
Danny Ketch and Robbie Reyes have made the Ghost Rider titles much more interesting.
The most interesting comic going right now in DC is Shazam

I always considered that the worst episode of the series. Yes, worse then the Farmer Brown ep. To each his own I guess. |

My pick for the worst is probably either I've Got Batman In My Basement or The Forgotten, possibly Tyger Tyger mostly due to how poorly animated it is. Joker's Millions is also way up there just on the level of what an utter joke it makes him, but at least he rebounds a bit by the end of the series with Mad Love. |

I always considered The Forgotten a guilty pleasure of mine. I'm not saying the episode doesn't have issues, but between its unique story and snazzy western/prison style score, as well as hilarious scenes like Alfred arguing with the Bat-Computer, it's honestly one of my favorites. |

The Forgotten was one of the first episodes I saw (after Eternal Youth), so I have a soft spot for it. Loved seeing Alfred in the Batplane. |

Bendis is a great street crime writer. A fantastic street crime writer.
Morrison is a great metatextual writer. Fantastic.
Neither should have ever been allowed anywhere near the regular-continuity Marvel and DC comics.
