DC Comics Turns the Occupy Movement Into a Superhero Title

Thread title says it all pretty much. I'm not really sure where DC is going with this, but I don't see it catching on and I could very easily see it turning into a shameless attempt to exploit the Occupy movement, if it isn't one already. Anyway here's the link from Wired: http://www.wired.com/underwire/2013/02/dc-comics-occup-movement/

I've only read one issue of that, but it was really good. Still, I probably won't pick this up, because it does seem like a shameless exploit.

But yeah she did Batgirl, Birds of Prey, and my favorite series of hers the Secret Six.
