I’m so happy that Nicole is bringing Nia into the comics universe! Hopefully the character will live on on the page and have lots of cool adventures, even if the show is ending well before it’s time.
I think Dreamer and Brainy would work better in Legends of Tomorrow, if either or both are inclined to stick around in their characters. So start the campaign today! Shake up Legends with Nicole Maines and Jesse Rath!
I can’t say that I’m a fan of Dreamer, as much as I like the dynamics of her being part of the “Super Friends” group. Oh, and of course her relationship with Brainy. Love the guy. Good stuff though. @Mae@Razzzcat
. Hope after SG ends we can still see her. Maybe in Legends
