So... Dan DiDio says that Ted Kord doesn't exist in the DCnU.Gee, I wonder how I feel about that?
Yeah, that about sums it up.

I think a lot of people feel the way we do about DiDio. Ted Kord fans, Nightwing fans, Wally West fans, Donna Troy fans, etc.

You tell it preacher man!
...though, really, with the all around crappiness of the rebooted material, are you sure you'd even want him brought up in that stuff?

Not really. I want the "old" DC Universe back (pre-DiDiot).

Well, in DC's latest "crossover event" we're introduced to Thomas Kord and learn that his son (presumably Ted) is attending Northwestern University. So, there is a possibility that Ted Kord might be back in the Nu52.

WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHIT TELL ME ALL ABOUT IT PLEASE!!! AND ESPECIALLY THE PART ABOUT TED KORD
π: 0 β©: 1
I pretty much told you everything (except that Thomas "buys the farm" in the first issue). That's all I know. I don't even read comics anymore. I got that info from a review of "Villains United" #1.

I really, really don't like whizkids... (Excepting the original Will Robinson, Bill "Don't call me 'mummy'" Mumy -- he acted like a real kid and not a punkass {see the Lost in Space feature film Will Robinson}, douchebag, or Gene Roddenberry's idealized self, Wesley Crusher.)
They're... annoying and unrealistic.
Even those of us who are nerds want them dead, dead, too...
Jaime Reyes is the past decade's "Kyle Rayner" if the Reyes fans don't get it. He's Wesley Crusher in a bug suit. Any time an editor takes it upon himself to shit all over a character and replace him with a younger version or ethnic character longtime fans WILL and DO take it personally*...
... and MARVEL AND DC STILL DON'T GET THIS...
... and the 3% of comic book fans who actually think Marvel and DC are doing the rest of us great shakes with these boneheaded moves are annoying to the other well over 50+% that don't like the arbitrary character deaths and replacements.
Most of us don't care for political correctness or character quotas...
We DO like well-written characters and classics, yes, but don't tell me you're replacing a 50-year-old character with [insert this year's aggrieved sexual or ethnic minority character] because it inflates the ego of a writer or editor or MIGHT attract the attention and adoration of 10 assholes who don't even regularly buy comics or otherwise give a shit!!!!
That's JUST STUPID...!
Keep the identity politics and all the other personal/F'D UP emotional baggage issues out of the stories and deliver with storylines and characterizations that are actually true to the character and entertaining!!!!!!
What is so damn difficult to understand about those basics??????
*(Lantern fans can relate; it took ten years and the withdrawal/retirements/reassignments of several DC editors and the rise of Geoff Johns before Hal Jordan was allowed to be the primary Green Lantern in the DCU again; 10 years before the GL Corps and mythos were reinstated -- along with allowing the original Alan Scott character to be called Green Lantern again, too; and no, what James Robinson is writing in Earth-2 is NOT the character Martin Nodell created)

I personally think that Jaime is on of the few good example of having an ethnic replacement.
Not because he is non-white, but because i think he is a good character.
But most ethnic replacements or race, gender or sexuallity changes are just terrible.

Ah, you are just full of indignant anger. Aren't you?
I like you already!

The real reason why Ted Kord is RetGone is because Dan DiDio wanted that Jaime Reyes was the one and only Blue Beetle.
π: 0 β©: 0
I was suprised when they killed him in the comics. I felt Ted Kord should have been a gift for decent writers, since he could work in both comedy and serious stories in a way some characters can't. DC's refusal to bring him back is a pity.

You know, now that I think about it, I can see Ted singing that to Didio like the old beer commercial. This Bud's for You, I think.

Oh heck yeah , Dan DiDio single handlely ruin the DC universe and made a lot lazy mistakes . Good shot @ Dan DiDio !!!

You know that's the same expression that Dan Didio gave to alot of fans for all the crap he's done. He should do what Joe Quesada did in Marvel and just step down as Editor-in-Chief!

Blue Beetle is actually a vital part of Batman's history. If it weren't for Blue Beetle, we might not have ever had Dick Grayson

Don't you mean Tim Drake? Tim was the Blue Beetle fanboy.

Ah.. Yes. I apologize... I don't know the names but, I know the stories because of the animated movies. So, I hear the name once or twice, maybe talk about them a few times....

YES! HELL YES! GRRRRRRAAAAAAAHHHHHH!! Red Ringin' over THE Blue Beetle!

Man, I hope you don't own a red ring!

Didio's the first on my "people I wish would disappear in an Crisis Crossover Permanently" list. In fact, he might be the only one at this point!!

DiDio's the first on my "People I'd like to Punch in the Face" list.

we should get a whole bunch of Blue Beetle cosplayers together and give the bird to DC comics HQ. or moon them. whichever's fine with me.

I want everyone to download this picture, print it out on iron-on paper, make t-shirts, and wear those t-shirts to every convention Dan DiDio appears at.
That's what I want anyways.

I'd make it into a big freakin' sign.

THAT WOULD BE BITCHIN'.

can you make another with Dan Garrett? as I think he is in the same boot
Jaime is a great character and my favored of the 3 Ted is my least favored (but I love them all)
What made Blue Beetle so great was the whole legacy surrounding them. I just don't think Jaime works so well without his role models batman sucks as one.

I think DiDio finally figured out that as long as Ted was still being mentioned, even in passing, Jaime was always going to be compared to him. And according to the latest Top 50 ComicBookResources has done, more fans still like Ted.

I like both Ted and Jaime. I think it would be awesome if Ted was brought back and he became Jaime's advisor or go-to brain. I think Ted would like Jaime.

i couldn't have said what blue beetle said any better hahha
awesome art man

You could flip DiDio the double-bird...

alrite, i'll do that hahaha

Go Ted!
"Dan DiDio says that Ted Kord doesn't exist in the DCnU."
I need more proof of that. Dan Didio doesn't even know what he's talking about most of the time...
Let's wait for Jaime's comic in a few. Perhaps there's gonna be a mention of either Ted/Dan's legacy or the fact they don't exist anymore...
(the writer on his book did say it was a continuation of the previous Jaime book, kicking Ted out of continuity would change his history drastically...)

From everything I've been hearing, Jaime will be the first Blue Beetle in the DCnU. Yet another reason to hate the DCnU.
