I think it's Geoff Johns. Don't get me wrong--he's a talented writer. But he's at his best when he's not trying to defend comics as a serious artistic medium by revamping old heroes so that they don't have the qualities that people make fun of them for, regardless of how intrinsic some of those qualities may be.

It's why Barry Allen's mom is dead.

And why nobody wears trunks anymore.

And why Aquaman spends half of his time brooding about the fact that nobody takes him seriously.

And why Simon Baz is defined by the fact that everyone thinks he's a terrorist instead of the fact that he's a Green Lantern and a hero.

And why Hal Jordan, Hal FUCKING Jordan, the biggest IDIOT in the entire DC universe, is "the greatest Green Lantern of all time."

Lately, it seems that for every Superman: Secret Origin he writes, there's a DC Universe: Rebirth.
