Because of the cigarette ? :lol:

The Question finally gets some screen time. I hope we finally get his background story soon.

From the DC Wiki:

The Question is Vic Sage, vigilante protector of Hub City. He is a great martial artist and detective, an investigative reporter in his civilian identity. The mask he wears to disguise his face is made of an experimental material called pseudoderm. Sage is driven by a deep personal quest for philosophical meaning, which has taken him through both Objectivism and Zen; in some versions he is portrayed as a paranoid conspiracy theorist. Aristotle Rodor is his closest friend and mentor, although his teachers have included Richard Dragon and Lady Shiva. Myra Fermin is his most frequent love interest.

Sounds pretty good to me. :smt102

I just don't understand why give the Question mystical powers/banishment angle?

That's out the door in the Nu52. He's now some guy who was punished by the same people who punished Pandora and the Phantom Stranger. HIs name and face were erased from history, and he's spent centuries wandering the Earth asking questions.

Yeah but I am trying to ignore the new backstory because it's stupid.

a sound strategy!
Anyone have that cool annual crossover between the Question, Batman and Green Arrow? Now compare that to this flaming turd of a Question...

Rama has an interview with Brian Cunningham about some of this.

I liked this issue, just when I figured it was going to be AvXish, cooler heads prevailed and DC acted like responsible DC again. I was less let down than I thought and certainly intrigued by the heroes approach to solving the problem. DC is starting to remind me of the Bronze Age more and more lately.

Looking forward to JLD but I still wanna see some fightin'!
