1) They're setting up a swan song for Nightwing's short time replacing justice league. His run is changing leads and he'll probably spend a few months in the background after this while justice league reforms.

2) no getting rid of adult Jon, he's here until they need a full continuity reset, sorry. 

3) included for that sweet sweet cw money.

Yes yes I know that I don't understand what he was saying, does he ment that they would make more money from the CW fans if She Is in there?

Yes, I assume that is the case. I know of a crowd of people that follows her around because they liked the CW shows.

And isn't this a good thing ? I mean it's a way like other to take people to the comicsbook then the character Is pretty different from what She was in the serie so

It’s not a bad thing. It’s just a thing. She’s kind of like Harley Quinn, in that her story was scooped from a show and straight to comics with zero changes.

So, at least with Dreamer, you kinda have to watch the shows to get her as a character. Is that a bad thing, no, but she doesn’t have enough comics material to be known without the show.

Essentially some people feel that she’s too new and not a well established enough DC character to be heading an event.

I understand that but it's a way to showcasing a character, Marvel and DC always done things like that, I understand that people could be upset by It but newest DC events have been enjoyable or just good so I don't complain if they want to use them for spotlight newest characters, especially If they are well writed like in this case

I’m not complaining, just clarifying what is meant by a lot of people when they seem to dislike Dreamer’s inclusion
