I agree 100%, but when I look at other New DC titles like THE SAVAGE HAWKMAN, RED LANTERNS (who do the violent work for the Corps) , and the Blackhawks as a Blackwater-type paramilitary organization, I am saddened.
Going a bit deeper than the surface, though, Hawkman and the Blackhawks could both work. The former doesn't need to be gory to be "savage" (Doc Savage, Steve Savage, Savage She-Hulk all come to mind), and the Blackhawks could work to fight the trend of the Blackwater era. I'm not saying it'll work, but it could.
Wonder Woman worries me more, actually. Apparently, nobody at DC can envision her as anything but the "warrior woman," which is by far the least interesting part of the character.
And Red Lanterns, though...who the heck green-lit that!? Did Image buy out DC when I wasn't looking? It would explain why everybody's wearing armor. Maybe Superman will get a bandolier.
