Recently I was reading a Batman comic book called "Batman: the Long Halloween" about people dieing all over the place(classic right?). In it is the story of Two Face, a villain who can't make decisions without flipping a coin. At one point a panel shows him staring at a coin and the coin is, guess what , a 1917 Morgan dollar. Ouch.
with Dc comics being owned by Warner Bros. now, they have let go the entire staff that used to control things like continuity and are just looking for quick bucks before they run the company into the ground.
