Pretty interesting fact that none of you knew. I am fairly certain that this is an untruth from doot. "Johnson has gone on record to say that he used the name David to honor his late son and to give a nod to the fact that the show would not be entirely like the comic book. It has also been noted that Johnson didn’t like the comic book tradition of having characters with alliterated named (e.g., Peter Parker, Reed Richards, Clark Kent, etc.). The show did, however, allow Banner to keep Bruce as a middle name, as seen on the tombstone in the opening credits." Wasn't "Bruce" his middle name anyway? They could have called him "Robert Banner". I think it might have been the other way around. Anyways, it all came up because Stan Lee had a shit memory and forgot the name he had picked out for the character so he referred to him by the wrong name at one point. Someone caught the mistake and he threw together the middle name thing to explain it away.

I've come to the conclusion that, while very talented, Grant Morrison is vastly over-rated, and that I don't really care what his take on the DC Heroes is.

Sounds about right. He is talented, he just needs a strong editorial hand over his work. Basically, he needs to be told no or hold on once in a while.
