Speaking as someone who hasn't picked up a comic book in about 20 years... what the fucking fuck happened to them?

Last I knew, Superman was still beating up bad guys while trying to avoid kryptonite. Which wasn't easy considering the entire planet and its inhabitants all seemed to make their way to Earth: Supergirl, Krypto... I think there was even a super horse and a super monkey... at which point I said "fuck this shit".

Batman was putting psychos into asylums while brooding a lot. Brooding in his giant mansion with his butler. Then Robin left and he got even broodier, at which point I said "fuck this shit".

Spiderman was trying to balance the hero bit with his late teen/young adult romancing of Mary Jane Watson or Gwen Stacey or whoever he wanted to put his dick in (possibly even Aunt May). And then he was taken over by a space alien who turned his costume black, at which point I said "fuck this shit".

And then Stan Lee created a super heroine with the disco-inspired powers of generating strobe lights and roller skating. A heroine so lame she made Kitty Pryde look like the White Queen in comparison. And I never picked up a comic book again.

Looks like I got out just in time.
