That's what I heard. They also made the new iron man a teenage colored girl so there's that.

Honestly...it's a comic. If you look at characters like the joker they have changed all over the place over time.
For the record though kids should not read some of those batman comics with the much darker joker. *shudder*

But yea...it's a character. To get people reading sometimes writers feel the need to shock an audience. I'd say it worked.
