Women do that. Women think Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy were the perfect couple. That's the basis for most of the fanfictions that I have seen.
 
This is looking more like Scott is right which I hate to admit. This is a Geoff Johns/Superboy, and not anything natural
to the character.
 
The problem will be can Fitzmartin replace any readers who drop the title with two new readers. If she can, then her run will be considered a success. If she can't, her run will be considered a crash and burn. And DC needs her run to succeed.

I'm going to stick to what I can see. Jim Lee just had an interview where he said everything is fine, and his boss that took over for Dan Didio loves the company. Speculation is they are both about to get fired if they can't get a winner especially with Todd MacFarlane just getting 500k preorders on King Spawn which is more than DC and Marvel have done in a long time.
 
Batman is the company's best seller but it didn't even crack the top twenty in sales this month.
 
Tim Drake is outed. The only reason is try to stir up interest that DC is a relevant company since it's not really selling that well, and is being propped up by its movies and animation. WB pays the company for the use of the IP and then makes a movie. The studio and company split any money. It's the same deal that CN had with Hanna Barbera even thought CN technically owned HB.
 
The problem is that at one point comic fans were mostly straight men. I think at one point it was like 80-90 percent straight men. I'm willing to go that the demographic has changed enough that it is only 70-30. I'm willing to say that this section of the fandom don't care and are not going to spend money on Tim Drake unless it is hooked to something else. The remainder in minorities and women for the most part are not going to care either in my opinion.
 
So logically the targeted audience is not the people who love Tim Drake, but the LGBT community. I don't see whatever fraction of the fandom this is being able to boost a Tim Drake comic to a viable level without help from the rest of the fandom, which may see this as a money grab and go I don't think so. And every time DC does something to Drake, more of his fans stop reading his comic. So what was the point?
 
Tim Drake has been reduced to one of the guys who gets killed in the giant crossover to show how tough the villain is.
 
The company is going we're diverse, but the people who spend the money are we don't care about that. We want an Indiana Jones/Doc Savage adventure and you're not giving us that. We're going to read Ghostbusters, or King Spawn, or Saga, or Lobster Johnson because they are giving us what we want.

You didn't fix anything. You want real diversity, you should read Rick Riordin, early Milestone, or maybe Spawn. DC has lost a ton of production and editorial staff, sales, and their writers are looking to go other places. They are trying to bring in a new audience for their business so this is the only way they can think to do it, because new characters very rarely light anything up. We're diverse because we can change our old characters to suit is what they're doing when they should be creating new guys to fill the slot like Black Lightning's kids. (The fact that they gutted BL's history to get those kids the same way they did Cyborg's is a whole another thing.)
 
They have been dumping on Nightwing and Tim Drake since Dan Didio took over, and even now that he was fired this is just one more thing they dumped on Drake because DC Editorial sucks. Who can we make LGBT today? Tim Drake is our goto whipping boy this week. He's the LBGT guy because we can't do better than a 12 yr old fan fiction writer who's already given Tim Connor's kid twenty years ago.
 
DC can do better, they just don't want to.

He was so good as the dead guy in Harry Potter.

But it didn't crater. It made almost 400k just in the theaters. It's the number five movie of the year. Who knows how much it made on the streaming service? The only real financial problem with the black widow is how much more it could have made if it hadn't been put on a streaming service the first day. There is also a possibility that the people shafted the movie for the streaming service which we will see if all of this goes to court

These reboots are trying to cash in on nostalgia. They are trying to grab the old fan because that is guaranteed money. The problem is the old fan doesn't want things that don't line up with what they want. Like if you have a property where the hero is supercompetent, can always get out of any situation, is a quick thinker, knows stuff that no one else knows like Derek Flint for example. And your marketing is on how cool Flint is to grab the old fan. But the movie is Flint's harem actually being the heroes. The old fan is not going to like that, and when word spreads around, the movie will lose traction.
 
You have to be able to grab new fans, and if the movie isn't written well enough, the new fans won't like it either.
 
That will cause your movie to bomb.
 
This is what happened to Masters of the Universe. Kevin Smith told everybody He-Man will be front in center. All the trailers have He-man front in center. When it leaked that He-man was not going to be the star, Smith was like that's not true. Then when the show drops and Teela is the star, he basically tells people to quit crying. Now Teela's girlfriend is rumored to be the new He-man.
 
The problem is Netflix has a new MOTU with a different studio in the works for next year, and a live action movie from what I hear after that. Will this next show capture anything for Netflix, or will people go you burned me once, I know enough not to touch the stove again?
 
This could have been another She-Ra where the show runners said we don't know anything about the character but we're going to do the best we can with the 50 episodes netflix ordered. Instead we get a showrunner who said I hate the hero of the show like Scott Buck and Iron Fist.

Again, because you have no vested interest in. sure that’s an easy thing to say. However to the die hard fans? That is a different story. It doesn’t matter if the the original is “crap” by any standards.  It’s the emotional attachment that counts.  For example back to BW, I know who Task Master is but I don’t have an attachment to him. (I have don’t have nothing against him either). That’s why the change in BW doesn’t bother me. However I can see why some fans can be outraged though. 

So the guys who made the most money off this are the guys who decided to boost the streaming service over their theatrical release. Then they released Johanssen's pay for one movie to the press when Iger got paid almost all of that in options, with a yearly salary that matches Johanssen's pay for that one movie. But they can't honor royalty contracts like Foster's (he wasn't the only one. There was a group that went after Disney over that), or obligations they signed. 
 
That seems a touch greedy to me.

1966. Space is the final frontier. In the battle to be the first to the moon, the winner was Gabe Gaddy, a 12 yr old prodigy who designed his own transport system he called the Boomer. Gaddy with the use of the boomer and other technology he designed has served on every generation of the team from the first day until its last years in the future while remaining a teenager the whole time.
 
Gaddy accomplished this by using the boomer's temporal effects to move up and down the time stream while remaining the same age in transit, essentially only aging when he appears to help his team out of their current problem.
 
Gabe Gaddy was known far and wide as Astro Boy until he disappeared for the last time
