Yeah, it is a silly superhero name--but then so are most other superhero names.
I think the value of names such as "Submariner" is that they teach kids to look up words or ask what they mean. And the logo on his comic looked pretty cool, with "Sub-" being on a line above the rest.

That is true. Superhero names taught me words such as Pariah and Quark.
Umbra, on the other hand, I learned from reading science books first; Gossamer from reading children's story books, and Apparition from reading books about ghosts. That may be one reason why I appreciated those code names from the get-go.

Umbra was a name considered for Obsidian in early drafts of Infinity, Inc. It was also the villain in the '80s cartoon Mighty Orbots. Two more reasons I prefer the name Shadow Lass.

It's hard to imagine Todd Rice having a code name other than Obsidian.

Yeah. I really miss him. The Infinitors always got a raw deal. First the Crisis changed their reality and origin and they got cancelled. Then they are all either forgotten are badly mistreated. Then they finally come into their own in the JSA books. Then the New 52. Blecch!

The Todd-Damon relationship, I miss a lot. They were so cute together.

I miss Todd and Damon. I also miss Rick and Jessie. For that matter, I miss Ralph and Sue and I miss Clark and Lois as a couple. Happy couples exist in real life. They can exist in comics, too!

I know the corporate bigwigs at Warner Bros. know that the fanboys and fangirls dislike Didio so much. You have to wonder why they keep him in.

Maybe he keeps expectations low and generates a sense of comfortable complacency.

Silly Rocky, everyone knows DC comics has become IP comics these days. The only thing that matters to WB is that these characters be profitable for movies and TV shows, the source material and comic fans be damned.

To be fair, DC has done quite well with TV of late.

I liked the first two seasons of Arrow, but this season has been pretty boring so far. The Flash show hasn't really appealed to me even though I am a huge Flash fan.

I haven't seen Arrow much, but Flash is my new favorite show.

That's this week's crossover episode. Unless you're calling for them to get together romantically, which I guarantee won't happen. Of course before playing Barry, Grant Gustin's best-known role was a gay character on Glee.

Well, having them get together romantically wasn't what I meant. But now that you mention it I'm sure there's a lot of art on the Internet showing just that.

The shows are in a shared universe. The Atom and Firestorm will be written in to the stories this season as well.
