As a friend of mine said regarding the casting of Lusifer in the movie "Constantine": "Note to DC/Vertigo, if you want to use a character from the existing universe, make sure the character looks like Vertigo standard. I didn't need a sweaty, shifty looking Italian fatass playing a part I traditionally reserve for a European bishounen."
I guess that's fair. Online has its own grammar. I suspect linguists will clue in to this fact, oh, sometime in the 23rd century. Maybe 23th. They still haven't accepted use of "their" as a gender-neutral non-possessive pronoun, after all.
