Possible, when this show began, did we know anything about Kaldur? Or Artemis? Or M'gann? No, we did not. Kaldur is based off of Jackson Hyde, but otherwise he was a BRAND NEW CHARACTER to DC. We knew nothing about him. We've only experienced Artemis Crock as the supervillian Tigress, so we had to learn about her as a heroine. When the show began, we were told that M'gann was a Green Martian and J'onn's true niece. While this turned out not to be the case, we all thought we were being treated to a new Miss Martian and had to adjust to her. Even the beloved characters of Dick Grayson, Wally West, and Conner Kent were new to us because we had to get to know their new personality quirks. The same, now in Season 2, goes for Wonder Girl, Beast Boy, Blue Beetle, and the rest of the cast.

And with that, I have to point out that this is becoming a redundant argument. I think we've officially explored it from all angles. No one is going to be changing anyone else's opinions here, so why don't we just call it quits? It's not like anything that's going on with this show is going to affect us in the long run. We still have to go to school, go to work, go to the grocery store, and all that other mundane stuff that fills our every day lives. So, feel free to continue this discussion, if you continue to feel the need to do so. I, on the other hand, will not be commenting on this particular issue again.
