I understand that but I still wonder why limit this just to J'Onn J'Onzz? Why not try to stop "approved violence" like X-Force, The Boys, Black Summer? I guess I question why it is just the single character over a series that may or may not kill the character as a plot device where we have other fiction out there that glorifies killing just to make a buck. What I meant by fueling the fire was that if there are enough people who don't want J'Onn J'Onzz dead then wouldn't it be what DC would do just to get a response? Create a buzz. Again I am just rambling. Good luck w/ the petition! Okay. I understand that but I still wonder why limit this just to J’Onn J’Onzz?

So, if this effort provides a wider stage from which to concuct such pursuits, then it cannot only be seen as an effort to save a fictional character who can't really die. And in that sense, fueling the fire is exactly the intention of the campaign. Thank you for the helpful thoughts, Robert.
