The big news this week was oddly t-shirts. Yes, t-shirts. Namely t-shirts taken as sexist since men get to “score” with Wonder Woman (I totally agree that shirt’s sexist) and being the future Man Of Steel, while the girl is training to date Batman (which is on a baby’s outfit) or only dating heroes. These aren’t bad things (except the Wonder Woman shirt and a baby training to date Batman, both for different reasons), but the lack of balance for the boy training to date Supergirl or the girl being a future Wonder Woman. And the fact that we’re only talking Wonder Woman says a lot about DC, too.

Anyway, former DC editor Janelle Asselin goes over these disasters that set the Outhouse’s DC did something stupid counter back to zero after 80 days and the general ideas as to how this got past the licensing department.
