Description
Drawn and colored in under an hour. The art is kinda terrible.Tora was a magical ice princess/goddess. In Justice League: Generation Lost, she was recently retconned to have angst-tastic background that directly contridicts her old origin story. Hopefully, it'll turn out to be a Maxwell Lord trick. Hopefully.
Tora and Booster belong to DC.

I actually find the image of Tora being Batman to be adorable.

Did not know Ice's old backstory but it sound much more awesome than the new one.

This is hilarious. I didn't know about this until now; I'm not too up on these particular characters. This sure seems silly though. Seems like they're too lazy to actually create a new character with an angsty, "ethnic" background (if that's what you want), and when that character already has a well established back-story too. Poor Booster. Maybe there's some timeline altering shenanigans going on that he's immune to. But can he take on the fearsome cosmic entity that's responsible?

Ice, of all DC characters, really didn't need a tragic past.

Always end a tragic back story with "I'm Batman"

Seriously, apart from being an EXTREMELY offensive retcon (lol gypsies, they be evil thieves), it's just overall pointless and makes no sense at all. So it better be some stupid Max-mindfuck or else... I'll have Winick's balls on a stick.
Btw, the last panel is priceless.

Of course on the other hand, with DC's universal Reboot - as the so called New 52 that retcon of Ice's origin is also potentially retcon'ed into the trash bin.
Maybe there was somethign good in that reboot after all.

Indeed. This isn't the first time DC's screwed up our favorite characters pasts just to fit the story line. Isn't that right, Adam Beechen?

Yeah, they'd better fix that. How in the world could they possibly explain away the fact that EVERYONE has met Tora's family? The last panel is hilarious.

It better be Max's mindcontrol!
The truth is simply that Judd Winick mixed up Ice (Tora) [link]
and Ice Maiden backstory [link]

Yeah, I took issue with that issue. I'd always found Ice's background to be interesting and a cut above those of some of her teammates (Ted: Dead mentor; Booster: museum robbery; Guy: brave and stupid, also head injury, these are the backgrounds of my three favorite adult male comic characters OF ALL TIME and I think they're dull compared to Tora's original origin, c'mon now). She was a princess, and an ambassador of her people. She became a hero by choice, and has always been one of the nicest, sweetest Justice League members. I do believe that this comment should end on a shout, and it will.
WINIIIIIIIIIIICK!
